New Product showing on FCC - S15

New listing on FCC today for Sonos product 'S15'

Label is totally square so could be a new connect type device ?

Let the speculation begin !

    Yeah that is a bummer. And is what's stopping me from getting one. The previous reference of a $99 product intrigued me but I doubt it'll happen.

    Yep, no way is this going to be $99, it will be stuck at $349, which must severely restrict sales. I guess they determined that a $99 Connect would hurt sales of their speaker line. I'm an engineer, not a marketing or finance guy; these decisions seem nutty from an engineer's perspective, but obviously aren't made by engineering.

    I'm guessing it's a stand alone microphone array interface device to integrate Alexa to control legacy Sonos equipment?

    Nope. Sadly, it's just a minor update of the Connect.

    Music + Movies on 2x Play 1s + Sub + Playbar. Amazon Echo Dot + Google Home Mini. Beautiful impulsive music.

    All will be revealed. I'm still thinking an evolution of the PLAY:1 with a microphone array.

    It would be sensible for Sonos to make a Play 1 with Mic, but keeping the existing style / format but with a new top / control panel. You would not want or need to pay a premium for two voice enabled speakers configured as a pair or as surrounds. The "new" FCC listing shows the current consumption as 1A, the same as the existing Play 1.

      Buy a dot and place it on top of a speaker. It can't hear you.

      Wouldn't it make sense for them to make a Echo dot like gadget? Then pair with a Play 1, 3, 5. Does not matter
