Introduction
OPPO Sonica is a Wi-Fi speaker designed with state of the art technology and
features delivering unbeatable sound quality in a compact package. Its ability to
be placed virtually anywhere you have a power outlet makes it perfect for high
resolution, multi-room music streaming that anyone with a smartphone or tablet
can easily use.
Sonica comes equipped with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, allowing you
to enjoy the benets of each of these technologies. With Wi-Fi, you get the benet
of controlling the speakers from anywhere in your home, higher quality sound, and
the ability to stream to multiple speakers throughout your home. With Bluetooth,
you have the convenience of a quick and simple connection for locations where
Wi-Fi is not available.
Sonica is controlled via a dedicated app that can stream high resolution audio les
up to 192 kHz / 24-bit from your mobile devices, USB drives, DLNA servers, or NAS
drives. Sonica supports AirPlay and DLNA when connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet,
Bluetooth, and direct connection via a 3.5 mm analog input.
Sonica’s lifelike and dynamic sound is unparalleled in its class. Its curved shape is
purposefully designed for a wider sound eld and its internal reinforcement ribs
for maximum stability. Sonica’s amplifiers are specially matched to each of the
speaker drivers, and each driver is optimally integrated using a DSP chip to achieve
the best sound balance.
Sonica also features bass radiators, which are unique for a product in this price
category. The bass radiators work to cancel out unwanted vibrations, ensuring
that Sonica does not move or shake when music is played at very high volumes. In
addition, Sonica features multiple sound optimization presets that can be used to
tune the speaker’s sound for dierent room environments and listening preferences.
