SONOS®, the leader in smart sound for the home, today opened the doors to a unique acoustically tunable space for musical collaborations and listening experiences in Shoreditch. Sonos Studio London launches with an open house and series of listening parties, exhibitions, workshops and talks, during the closing weekend of London Design Festival.

"Sonos Studio is the best place to experience Sonos and listen to music together," says Sonos CMO, Joy Howard. "Our audio and engineering teams are obsessed with creating a listening experience that's fully customizable to your home, while also enabling you to experience music exactly as the artist intended.  Sonos Studio London is a playground for those twin obsessions. It creates a space where artists can experiment and share their work directly with music lovers in an intimate, collaborative environment." 

Working in partnership with artists and the local creative community, Sonos Studio London will host a constantly evolving programme of listening events, exhibitions, screenings, talks, workshops and much more. The space has been designed to deliver the best possible listening experience in every environment, tunable to every purpose and preference. 

Features of Sonos Studio London include:

• An acoustically tunable space – Conceived by producer, composer and Sonos Sound Experience Leader, Giles Martin, Sonos Studio London can be tuned to suit the needs of artists and producers. Moveable elements in the ceilings and walls allow producers to create an ambiance and sound to suit different acoustic needs. 
• Sonos experience – The Studio is a living prototype of the Sonos listening experience.  Built in partnership with Sonos acoustic engineers, this is the best place to experience Sonos and enjoy music as it should sound. 
• Gallery & Performance Space – The Studio's two floors will host a constantly evolving series of exhibitions, performances, screenings and talks. 
• Workshop - Inspired by Sonos' own development labs in Santa Barbara (CA) and Cambridge (MA), Sonos Studio will host hack days and workshops, prototype new experiences, and work together with artists and music technology partners. 
• Cafe – Sonos Studio is open to all throughout the day. Our coffee shop will welcome music lovers and the creative community to meet, relax, and enjoy the music and artworks six days a week. 
• Art Collection – A curated selection of artwork will be frequently supplemented by sound and music-themed installations and collaborations from local artists. 
• Artist-Led Listening Room – Artists will be taking over the Listening Room to create music installations and listening experiences.
