Whole-Home Audio
Whole-home audio systems allow you to easily enjoy music or stream content throughout your entire house compared to stereo systems that only play music in one room. Installers will help you select a solution best suited to your space.
Wired systems consist of loudspeakers connected by speaker wire running through your walls. Wired systems remain popular among audio enthusiasts who wish to customize their audio and control systems; this type of system, though costly, offers superior sound quality and flexibility.
Install a distributed audio system using wireless speakers connected through your home WiFi network and linked directly to one audio source; controlled with either smartphone apps, dedicated remotes or voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant. Speakers may be hidden behind walls or proudly displayed; many sizes and styles exist to complement any room decor while working with various music sources.
An audio multiroom system makes it easy to change the atmosphere in any room with music by switching among sources like your digital music library, Spotify playlists, classic CD or vinyl records, TV’s built-in audio system and more using smartphone apps, remote controls or wall switches. You can even play one song in multiple rooms at the same time.
Multiroom audio can also enhance daily routines and enrich family life. According to studies by Sonos, multiroom systems allow families to listen to music out loud more often, feel happier, complete household tasks faster, and form closer bonds between loved ones – making your home an enjoyable place with higher upsell value in the future!
No matter if you are building or retrofitting, investing in a whole-home audio system is a worthwhile investment for your family. At our team of audio specialists, we can find you an audio solution tailored specifically to meet your needs and budget so you can reap its many rewards for years.
Wireless Speakers
For an excellent sounding music system with no wires for power and streaming, wireless speakers may be your answer. They’re powered by rechargeable batteries and connect wirelessly with devices through Bluetooth(r), Wi-Fi(r), or both; many can even work as part of multi-room audio systems! Plus they’re portable – perfect for outdoor spaces such as decks or yards!
Most wireless speakers feature a digital signal processor (DSP) to strengthen and play back digital audio signals for transmission at an appropriate volume, as well as drivers to convert this digital information into actual sound waves your ears interpret as music or voices; typically these drivers can handle high volumes without distortion.
Wireless speakers offer several distinct advantages over their wired counterparts. Their primary benefit lies in not requiring you to run wires from your sound system to each room in your home, making installation much simpler while making adding extra speakers in rooms that weren’t initially planned easier. Another plus of wireless speakers is being portable enough to take with you when visiting friends or family members.
Bluetooth wireless speakers connect seamlessly with mobile phones or other devices and stream audio files from apps, the Internet or radio stations. Most feature an onboard battery for portability as well as various controls including playback/volume buttons as well as microphone for voice command access to music streaming services or smart assistant setup.
Wireless speakers that utilize both Bluetooth and your home Wi-Fi network provide greater versatility. You can connect directly to them using Bluetooth for basic streaming needs, while connecting them to your network unlocks features such as AirPlay(r), Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect – many even come equipped with their own dedicated app for ease-of-use!
Sonos has done more to popularize and mainstream multiroom audio than any other brand. Their products, which range from standalone music speakers and dedicated TV and home cinema soundbar options that can be linked together to play the same song throughout your home, to easy-to-use apps on smartphones or tablets that let users import their streaming service accounts, listen to free radio stations, control multiple Sonos devices simultaneously, and access their accounts from multiple locations simultaneously.
Multi-Room Audio
Multi-room audio can transform an existing hi-fi system or is the ideal starting point – whether you want to upgrade an existing setup, or are just starting out. These wireless systems distribute one source throughout your home and give you control of which music plays where in each room – be it the same song every time or different tracks in every room. Plus, services like Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal (assuming you subscribe), personal media collections stored on NAS or computer drives and Bluetooth connection allow direct playback from mobile phones or tablets!
Many multi-room systems rely on dedicated speakers that can be placed throughout your house, though more discreet in-wall and ceiling versions may also be available. Control is provided through a free app on either your smartphone, tablet or voice control; most are fully scalable allowing you to add new speakers at any time.
Some brands provide their own multi-room ecosystems, while other platforms such as DTS Play-Fi and Apple AirPlay allow users to choose multiple speakers from various manufacturers for use within a multi-room setup. This provides the ideal option for those wishing to keep their existing hi-fi separate from any multi-room set ups.
Sonos, Pure and Yamaha are among the leaders of wireless multi-room audio, each offering an extensive selection of accomplished wireless speakers; Sonos is especially renowned for its robust user experience and extensive app.
