Sonos and the FCC

So, this isn't really an "Advanced Setup", but there are many who enjoy keeping up on Sonos and whatever their newest products are by going through the FCC database, and we tend to be "advanced" users. As a result, I thought I'd post this list of FCC IDs registered to Sonos. I will do what I can to keep this list current over time.

Notably missing from this list are the Connect:Amp (ZP120), Connect (ZP90), and first generation Play:5. The RM000, RM001, and RM002 wireless cards were certified to be modular RF components, so they could be used in multiple devices without those devices needing separate FCC IDs. I assume this is why specific FCC IDs were not created for these three Sonos devices.

I don't know why there are two Play:1 models with different FCC IDs, though some sites elsewhere on the internet have identified one as being for China.

FCC shared the Sonos "S22" yesterday, based on the S18. Unclear what the difference is to me.

Due to lack of personal bandwidth I have not been following these releases closely. Are there any Bluetooth radios lurking in the recent units?

MikeVAuthor

Just Bluetooth Low Energy, looking at the power output levels (below 1mw).

Devices with BLE are...

S14/Beam
S16/Amp
S18/S22 "satellite speaker"

S18/S22... this is a speaker that was originally granted an FCC ID at the end of December. At that time it was identified as S18, and its short term confidentiality period expires June 29th. In April it was granted a change, and appears to now be identified as S22. The confidentiality period on the changed documents will expire in October. As long as the changed documents don't cause removal of the original ones, we might have more info on this in a couple of weeks.

It's possible that S18/22 could be the One v2, as there isn't any Sonos speaker in the database with pictures that look like the One v2 that also has BLE. The One v2 does have BLE. The original One did not have BLE.

Oddly, as new as the IKEA speakers are, they don't have BLE in them.

That is odd. Perhaps as a cost-cutting measure, to meet the price point required by IKEA? I've no idea what the cost is of a BLE system would be.

Updated to add the recently revealed S17 and S23 devices.

Also, with the S18 changing to S22, it appears that updated confidentiality was applied to everything following that change, so none of the S18 info was released when the first confidentiality date passed (which would have been June 12). With the updated grant for S22 being in May, we won't know what will carry this model number until November, or whenever the product finds its way to stores, whatever it may be.

S17 is the new Sonos Move

S23 is the new Sonos Port

MikeVAuthor

Updated to mark S22 as One SL and S17 as Move (S17 pictures release in a week or two, but the Bluetooth power levels as indicated in the FCC info line up with Move’s Bluetooth capability). Also marked S23 as Port.

Any thoughts from those who are better at parsing this data than I?

Nothing obvious that i can see, except PIN Support! Every device is going to have a PIN printed on the bottom, so some form of network security is going to be available, at least for newer devices.

Edited to add RM026. aka Sub v2 (based on the FCC ID label in the filing identifying it as a Sub).
