Multi-Room Audio
Multi-room audio systems enable you to listen to your favourite audio everywhere around your house and garden. So whether that's the radio in the kitchen, a selection of your favourite tunes in the garden room or some mellow music as you soak in the bath in the evening, a multi-room system can deliver that from one central source and do so without the clutter of additional equipment everywhere.
As is generally the case everyone in the house is going to have their own tastes and preferences, a multi-room system has to be able to deliver different sources simultaneously to different rooms. Conversely, when you're entertaining or just as you're moving through your house, you might want your system to be playing the same synchronised source to every zone in the house.
We often tend to talk about multi-zone systems rather than multi-room. A typical example of this is a bedroom and an en-suite bathroom. Different rooms, but most of our clients don't want competing music or radio between two rooms that are so closely linked.
Controlwise CI will go through your requirements with you to establish exactly how you want to be able to control, separate and synchronise your music throughout your home. We will design a system with the appropriate number of zones for you and your lifestyle
The benefits of distributed audio is that you can get different music or radio in different rooms by using multiple systems. Portable radio in the bathroom, separate mini-systems in the family's bedrooms and maybe one or more "serious" AV setups in the living room, conservatory etc. Or, looked at another way, you can have all your favourite music with you all the time with a digital music player.
Music servers are becoming increasingly popular and allows the users to store all their music in one place and then it is available to anyone who wants to listen it.
A well designed system should give you music and radio where you want without you noticing how it is delivered there:
Discreet speakers - maybe ceiling or wall recessed, maybe totally invisible.
No equipment on display apart from what you need to control it
- unless you want it to be seen.
