Imagine listening to your favorite music, your favorite station, in any room or area of your home, indoors or out, with nothing more than an elegant wall mounted keypad and virtually invisible in-wall or in-ceiling speakers showing. That's whole house audio—a centralized audio/video system that pipes music and video/cable signals throughout the home. This type of multi-room, multi-source systems allows you to play a CD in one room and the radio in another, simultaneously.
Today, whole house audio is not exclusive to a handful of dealers and installers, does not require gear from a multitude of manufacturers and is not just for the ultra-wealthy.
Superior Security and Sound recommends what equipment to utilize, prewires the system while the walls are still open and installs all the necessary equipment.
Here are some introductory terms and their relevance.
A speaker pair usually serves one room. A room is part of a zone.
A zone is one or more speaker pairs that, at any given time, will play the same audio source.
A single zone system is a whole house audio system where all speaker pairs, at any given time, play the same source.
A multi-zone system is a whole house audio system that can play different audio sources in different areas at one time.
A whole house audio system includes dedicated audio source equipment, audio distribution and amplification equipment, infrared remote control distribution equipment, wire and cabling, speakers and controls.
