IKEA and Sonos collaborated a few a long time ago to establish a desk lamp with an embedded speaker. Embedding a Wi-Fi speaker inside of a lamp isn’t as nutty a proposition as it may sound—we ended up rather delighted with the outcome. Now, the two organizations have collaborated to establish the Symfonisk ground lamp speaker.
The new unit looks really similar to the 2nd-generation Symfonisk table lamp speaker, but this 1 is mounted to a tripod-model stand with a round weighted foundation. It will come with a bamboo lamp shade, but you can personalize it with glass or textile solutions that start off at $39 each individual.
As with all the other speakers in the Symfonisk line, this just one can be incorporated into a Sonos multi-home speaker system together with other Sonos or Symfonisk speakers and controlled with the Sonos application. Customers will also be equipped to manage the speaker making use of IKEA’s Dirigera clever residence hub. Whilst Symfonisk speakers are not whole-fledged sensible speakers, they can be controlled with Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant.
As with any Sonos speaker, the new IKEA Symfonisk ground lamp speaker can be managed at the gadget itself or by way of Wi-Fi connectivity.

Sonos compatibility also contains Sonos’ Trueplay speaker-tuning computer software (despite the fact that that is dependent on your having an iOS system) and guidance for Apple’s AirPlay 2 protocol. And Sonos speakers are unparalleled in their help for membership audio solutions, ranging from Apple Audio, Amazon Music Unlimited, and Spotify, to Qobuz and Tidal. Sonos Radio (totally free) and Sonos Radio Hd (paid out, but higher resolution and professional-free) are also exceptional.
Any Symfonisk speaker can be paired with a Sonos subwoofer for bass reinforcement, and a pair of them can be utilised with a Sonos soundbar for dwelling-theater encompass audio. Incorporating speakers into floor lamps is a quite sensible strategy, considering that it not only removes the need to have a pair of tables on which to set surround speakers, it is an advancement about hanging speakers on the walls with unattractive electrical power cords dangling from them.
IKEA suggests its new Symfonisk flooring lamp speaker will be out there to buy in January, 2023 for $259.99, a $30 quality about the table lamp model.
