Available on September 12th, Sonos One SL is the essential speaker for music and more. Sonos One SL has the same sound and many of the same great features as Sonos One, only without the built-in microphones, giving you the choice to add voice into your system or not.

Sonos One SL delivers rich, room-filling sound in a compact size. It features two Class-D amplifiers perfectly tuned to its unique acoustic architecture, powering a mid-range woofer and a tweeter.

Control it with the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2, and more. You can still control One SL with your voice when you wirelessly connect it to a voice-enabled device, such as a Sonos One, Sonos Beam, Amazon Echo Dot or Google Home Mini. Only where these services are available with Sonos.

The compact design fits just about any space. Put it on your kitchen countertop or tuck it away on your office bookshelf. Pair two Sonos One SL speakers, or a One SL and a Sonos One, to get stereo sound or for rear surround speakers in a 5.1 set-up.

More details on Sonos One SL:

Stream music to One SL with the Sonos app or Apple AirPlay 2.
Use Trueplay with an iOS device to tune the speaker to sound great no matter where it’s placed.
Capacitive touch controls on top let you tap and swipe to play, pause, skip tracks, adjust the volume, and group rooms.

Ok SL don’t have microphone for direct voice control. My question is if the Sonos One SL is viewed from Alexa environment and I can say to one Amazon Echo to play music on a Sonos One SL or set it as preferred speaker of a same room where there is a Amazon Echo. Thanks

I have bought One SL for replacing my Play1, but i found the sound stage and sub bass seem better on Play1. I really upset for it as I believe the sound quality and tone should be identical the same

According to Sonos bass is better on the One’s vs the 1’s because of a slightly bigger magnet.

You may be experiencing break in and also Trueplay and settings make a big difference.

Not much Sonos can do about that, it is a decision made by Amazon.

Is One SL considerated 2nd generation like Play One 2nd Gen?

Airgetlam

There is no PLAY:1 second gen. The innards, without the microphones, would be the same as the Sonos One second generation. You have always been able to pair Sonos Ones and Sonos One SLs, no matter what generation.
