A "typical", old fashioned home speaker would use large Speaker Wire (like Monster Cable) to POWER & send the FREQUENCY (music/speech) from the source, like a Stereo Receiver, etc. Depending on how far away the source was from the speaker, a lot of speaker wire/cable would need to be used. Wireless speakers still need a power source (A/C plug or D/C battery) to run the speaker, but the communication, or what it is you want to listen to, is done wirelessly. So, no long speaker wire runs are needed, just an electrical outlet nearby where you want these speakers to be, and the content is sent wirelessly through the air. It's a cleaner set-up this way.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All wireless speakers need power. It’s either going to be a battery or power cord like these. So maybe your question was meant to be, how come these can’t be battery powered? The answer to that is the amount of power that is required. The SONOS 1 speakers are very powerful and powering them with batteries would not be practical.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They connect wireless. So you don’t need speaker wire to connect them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, thank you for your question. These Sonos products are wireless in how they communicate to other speakers, how they connect to your network, and in how they are controlled. They do require a power cord so they can maintain connection and have the power they need to produce sound.
