Sonos Era 100 SL compact stereo speaker
The Sonos Era 100 SL gives you exactly the same rich stereo sound as the Era 100, without the microphones. "SL" stands for speechless: there's no voice assistant listening in, so it's ideal for bedrooms, studies, children's rooms and anywhere you'd rather not have a smart speaker. It's also the most affordable way into Sonos.
Use it on its own, as a stereo pair, or as wireless rear surrounds for a Sonos soundbar. Buy your Sonos Era 100 SL from Jennings Sound & Vision, an authorised Sonos dealer on Fleet Road, Fleet since 1996, and hear it on demo in our showroom first.

Hear the Era 100 SL in our Fleet showroom
Era 100 SL is on demo in our showroom at 185 Fleet Road, alongside Era 100 and Era 300, so you can hear the difference for yourself before you decide.
No appointment is needed: just walk in. If you'd like a member of the team free to give you our full attention, you can book a time.
Era 100 sound, without the microphones
Inside, Era 100 SL is the same as Era 100: two tweeters angled outwards for genuine stereo separation and a mid-woofer around 25% larger than the old Sonos One's, each driven by its own amplifier. The result is room-filling sound with deep bass from a speaker small enough for a bookshelf.
The only difference is what's missing: no microphones, no voice button and no voice assistant. You control it with the touch controls, the Sonos app or Apple AirPlay 2. Trueplay™ can still tune it to your room using an iPhone or iPad.¹

Stream, play from your phone, or plug in a turntable
Stream from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, BBC Sounds and more through the Sonos app, or send audio straight from an iPhone or Mac with Apple AirPlay 2. Press the Bluetooth button on the back to play from any phone, tablet or laptop.
The USB-C port connects a turntable, CD player or other audio source using the Sonos Line-In Adapter, and the Combo Adapter adds a wired Ethernet connection (both sold separately).
Build your Era 100 SL system
Four ways to take Era 100 SL further. Add one now, or come back for more later.
Option 1
Make it a stereo pair
Get two Era 100 SL speakers in one box with our pair bundle, for wider stereo with a clear left and right channel: ideal for music rooms, or either side of a turntable or TV. The pair also works in two rooms or as soundbar surrounds.
You can also pair an Era 100 SL with an Era 100. The Era 100 brings voice control to the room, and the pair sounds identical.
Option 2
Add deep bass
Add a Sonos Sub to an Era 100 SL or a stereo pair for deeper, fuller bass, with nothing extra to wire beyond a power socket.
Sub Mini is the natural partner for Era 100 SL. Choose Sub 4 for the biggest bass in a larger room.
Option 3
Use as TV surrounds
A pair of Era 100 SL speakers makes simple, affordable wireless rear surrounds for any current Sonos soundbar, so effects move around the room.²
They work with Ray, Beam (Gen 2), Beam Ultra and Arc Ultra. While they're set up as surrounds, Bluetooth, line-in and AirPlay are turned off on the rear speakers.
Option 4
Stands and wall mounts
Get your speakers to the right height for the best stereo or surround sound, with made-to-fit Flexson stands and brackets in black or white.
Wall mounting and professional installation
Our installation team can wall-mount your speakers, TV and soundbar, hide the cables, and set up your whole Sonos system, including surrounds, a Sub and multi-room audio. We cover Fleet, Farnborough, Aldershot, Farnham, Camberley and the surrounding area.
Installation is a chargeable service, and we'll quote for exactly what you need.

Sonos Era 100 SL review: our take
Is the Sonos Era 100 SL worth buying? If you want great Sonos sound and don't need voice control, yes: it's the best value speaker in the range. It sounds the same as Era 100, with proper stereo from one compact speaker and surprisingly deep bass.
It's a natural choice for bedrooms, home offices and children's rooms, and a pair makes affordable rear surrounds for a Sonos soundbar. The only thing you give up is voice control and quick Trueplay tuning on Android.
