Sonos has unveiled its first flagship store – a sprawling, two-floor space inspired by the fact that most listening experiences happen in the home

两年的时间对于大多数事情来说都是相当长的一段时间，更不用说一家零售店了。尽管如此，音响公司Sonos在构思并揭幕位于纽约SOHO中心的第一家旗舰店时，拒绝仓促行事。

从合作伙伴那里获得诱人的设计理念

这个4200平方英尺的空间的焦点是一系列7间聆听室，每个房间都配备了Sonos系列设备，从一个智能扬声器‘Play 1’到包罗万象的‘Play 5’扬声器，都有不同的配置。自定义建造和绝缘的四层声学板岩墙壁，2000磅钢和斜面玻璃门，确保声音被完美地包含和反映在每一个舒适的空间，聆听室也是单独指定的特别委托艺术作品从当地艺术家具有强大的音乐联系。

索诺斯的贾尔斯·马丁(Giles Martin)说，这样做的目的是让音乐进行交谈，让每个人都能像在家一样轻松地体验索诺斯音乐，尽管他们身处零售环境。“每个房间都是经过声学设计的，可以复制一个很棒的家庭聆听环境。”

优化的听力条件也出现在商店周围。该空间的装饰天花板实际上隐藏了黑色的吸音泡沫，以平衡从商店反射表面反射回来的声音，而用于存储区域的穿孔钢门和墙壁的面板则允许声音通过它们，同时也参考Sonos产品的设计。

商店最令人难忘的特色之一是在其较低层的第七个监听室的形式。配备了迪特尔·拉姆的标志性音乐控制单元、磁带录音机和扬声器(目前仅供展示)和他为布劳恩录制的唱片播放器，参观者可以在播放机上听大量的唱片，这些唱片与Sonos‘Play 5’音箱连接在一起。对过去和现在音乐的强烈展示证明，我们不必选择一种选择，相反，我们可以拥有一切。

The focal point of the 4,200 sq ft space is a series of seven listening rooms, each kitted out with Sonos’ range of equipment in various configurations

Custom-built and insulated with four layers of acoustic sheet rock for walls, and a 2,000lb steel and beveled glass door, the listening rooms are individually appointed with specially commissioned artwork and custom furniture

Another listening room is decorated with a series of hand-painted classic patterns by the New York-based painter Mark Chamberlain

Downstairs, the seventh listening room presents a picture of of music past and present

Fitted with Dieter Rams’ iconic music control unit, tape recorder and loudspeaker (currently only for display) and his record player for Braun, visitors can listen to records piped through Sonos' 'Play 5' speaker system

The room also features a collection of rare cassette tapes owned by ex-Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore

Optimised listening conditions are present all around the store. The space’s decorative ceiling conceals black, sound-absorbing foam to balance out the audio bounce back from the store’s reflective surfaces

The store's back wall is completely covered with Sonos' family of products
