{"product_id":"sonoroprimuschalkgrey","title":"Sonoro Primus Music System, Chalk Grey (Piece)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sonoro Primus is a compact all-in-one system with an active 2.1 speaker setup that combines DAB+, internet radio, WiFi streaming and Bluetooth in a single, living-room-friendly housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne box, one power cable, done – and yet the whole thing sounds like a lot more than a kitchen radio. The Primus is made for anyone who wants good sound and a few smart features, but has no interest in a tower of devices with five remote controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Primus?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it can do almost everything and still won't let you down if you just want to listen to the radio. The 2.1 system with a real 5.25″ subwoofer pushes bass you wouldn't expect from a box this size – great for rooms up to around 25 m². There's no shortage of sources: DAB+, FM, over 25,000 internet radio stations, Spotify Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer and Bluetooth. You control it with dedicated buttons, the remote or the app, no manual required. Visually it stays true to sonoro style: hand-sanded, lacquered wood housing, real aluminium front, rounded corners – this version in Chalk Grey with a black front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull, lively sound with a surprisingly deep foundation. The high-performance subwoofer in a flow-optimised bass-reflex housing delivers punch, and the latest-generation DSP keeps the sound clean even at higher volumes. The coaxial driver arrangement (2 × 0.75″ tweeters, 2 × 3″ midrange drivers) plus a 5.25″ woofer produces a mature sound rather than a boombox blast. Preset equalizers and an automatically dimming display round off everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Primus right for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants a single, good-looking box for the living room, bedroom or home office – with streaming, radio and good sound without cable clutter. Plain talk: if you're after classic stereo with a wide soundstage from two separately placed speakers, this isn't it – the Primus is a compact system, not a stereo pair. And if you stream exclusively via Qobuz or Tidal, you should know: the current generation relies on Spotify Connect, Amazon Music and Deezer; Qobuz, Tidal and Napster only ran on the older SO-410 models. On the plus side, the Primus also plays entirely without a subscription – DAB+, FM and internet radio don't cost a cent extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn honest all-rounder: beautifully finished, effortless to use and sonically well above what its compact size suggests. If you're after a grown-up design system that doesn't need a tower of gear, the Primus belongs on the shortlist. Honestly – how often do you really need eleven separate devices?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the press says\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Compact, classic, competent – that sums up the qualities of the Sonoro Primus.
