Artwork

The Optically mark and the application icon are original work by Flash Media Solutions, Inc., drawn in Adobe Illustrator. Every rendering of it — the app icon, the menu bar glyph, the mark at the top of this page — is generated from that single source file.

The photograph on the home page shows a Sonos Ray on a desk. Sonos hardware appears there in ordinary editorial context; no Sonos artwork, photography or documentation is used anywhere on this site or in the app.

Optically

Your Mac’s volume keys, for a Sonos speaker on the far end of an optical cable.
