A Guide to Whole Home Audio Installation

What is whole home audio?

Whole home audio is a system of speakers and a connected music source that allows you to broadcast songs throughout the house. Instead of installing wired speakers into different rooms, modern systems utilize zoned outputs, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi to spread your audio throughout different rooms. During home audio installation, the team will hide wires and sources, and meticulous homeowners can dedicate a discrete area such as a closet or media room for their equipment, such as amplifiers and control systems.

What is the best equipment?

When building a multi-room audio system, you can combine new and more traditional technologies. Wireless speakers can be installed in walls and ceilings. Many homeowners choose a control system with remote access via smartphone or tablet so they can play their favorite playlists on streaming services.

For a more conventional setup, traditional bookshelf loudspeakers and floor standing speakers require a multi-channel amplifier. These wired setups can be combined with wireless speakers throughout your home with multi-zone audio and Wi-Fi. Incorporating weatherproof outdoor speakers into your set-up typically requires an amplifier, making your backyard part of your whole home audio system.

Can you integrate a home theater sound system?

Merging a home theater with whole home audio is common. The designated room for a home theater can double as a music source hub, with multi-channel amplifiers providing sound for speakers spread around your home. Imagine your smart speaker playing music in the kitchen while the kids watch movies in the living room, or sync the outdoor speakers, home theater, and smart speaker to play music all over your home from one single source.
