What is multi room audio?
Once thought of as a luxury item, nowadays most new homes feature some type of audio system built in as standard. Multi room audio is a term used to describe audio systems that work all over your home, it is also sometimes called whole home audio or distributed audio. In-ceiling speakers are used in rooms, weatherproof external speakers for outdoor areas and underwater speakers for the swimming pool. Either hand-held controllers ( Sonos ) or in-wall keypads ( Nuvo ) are used to discretely turn the music on, choose the music selection and adjust volume in each room. Music can either be kept on a digital server, allowing thousands of albums to be accessed, with each room being able to control their music individually, or an iPod can be dropped into a dock, and each room can browse and play music directly from the iPod.
