The aesthetic of the store was very important to me, which is why I chose to sleek look of the PlayBoxes™. I get compliments on them all of the time!

As we continually update and modernize our facility the PlayBox™ by Thenos makes a great addition to our music system!
Dr. Fleming

Richardson, TX
We planned on pre-wiring a 1700 sq ft space for 6-10 pendant speakers that wired back to an amplifier, with hardlined sources then we heard about the PlayBox™. We installed two of them in the space. Man! The sound is incredible, it fills the entire room with volume to spare (even when full of noisy room chatter). The PlayBox(s)™ make the Sonos speakers look so sleek and blend right into the wall.

FAQ's

questions, questions, questions...
   I have a question


what is PlayBox™?
The PlayBox™ by Thenos is a specially designed enclosure that allows you to take your Sonos® Play:1™ speaker and recess it in the wall.
what is Sonos®?
Sonos® is the smart speaker system that delivers all the music on earth, in every room, with pure, immersive sound. Sonos® unites your digital music collection and services in one simple app that you control from any smart device.
what is a Play:1™?
The Play:1™ is a compact tabletop wireless smart speaker by Sonos®. The Play:1™ can be used singular or as a stereo pair. The Play:1™ is the most widely sold of the Play series of speakers by Sonos®. The Play: 1 has achieved a cult like following for its super rich, full-bodied sound that’s crystal clear at any volume.
is the PlayBox™ suitable for residential and commercial installs?
Currently the residential version(s) of the PlayBox™ are the first to be available. The commercial version of the PlayBox™, ideal for Restaurant/Bar, Retail, Office/Corporate will be available soon. Tell me more
do you offer something to cover the front of the Play:1 speaker?
No. And the reason is simple: we don’t want to hide the Play:1™, quite the opposite actually… Sonos® users are proud of their choice to become apart of the Sonos® community and the idea behind the PlayBox™ design was to showcase the speaker and “cradle it like a diamond in a jewelry box”.
who is Thenos?
Thenos, LLC is an American company based in Dallas, Texas and is the designer and maker of the PlayBox™. The company was founded by installers with the mission of creating the most unique products in the audio/video market.
does Thenos make other products?
Currently the PlayBox™ for the Sonos® Play:1™ is the debut product from Thenos. However other products are already in the design stages. Stay Tuned...
why not just use in-ceiling/wall speakers instead of the PlayBox™?
The PlayBox™ is perfect fit for those who already own, or insist on a Sonos Play:1 but yet could do without the messy cords. The PlayBox™ allows you to gain back valuable counter space.
what colors/finishes are available?
Currently the PlayBox™ is available in two colors: Arctic White and Stealth Black. The faceplate can be painted and or wrapped to blend in or even stand out among its surroundings!
do I need a license to install the PlayBox™?
Home Owners:
You may install the PlayBox™ in your own home: The PlayBox™ features an integrated power supply that requires a high-voltage connection - just like a standard home electrical socket. So the same state/city codes apply just as if you were installing your own ceiling fan or wall socket. Check with your city for local codes and guidelines.

*If you do not feel comfortable or do not posses the electrical knowledge/skill DO NOT ATTEMPT SELF INSTALLATION, consult an electrician or professional installer.

Professional Installers:
Thenos offers a wire directly unit, the PlayBox™ PRO, for wiring into the nearest electrical junction. We also a offer the PlayBox™ EZ which features a power relocation kit, the PlayBox™ EZ ships with a male power inlet which allow those without electrical licensing to safely install a PlayBox™ and then plug it into a nearby 110v outlet.
