It is also a wireless device that is able to stream music to any other [Sonos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victrola-stream-carbon) speaker in the vicinity. In terms of the visual look, it has a blend of mid-century model minimalism with contemporary themes. It is also a lighter piece with a large tactile knob at the front to adjust the volume of the entire Sonos system that is connected. Additionally, there is only a platter at the front with a [minimally designed adjustable tonearm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-paron-iii), and a 33/45 RPM selector switch. The back has an Ethernet jack, RCA plugs, and a power port.
