Whole House Audio System

A whole house audio system is the best way to distribute music entertainment from multiple audio source components to speaker systems located throughout your home and outdoors.  The heart of a whole house audio system is an audio distribution amplifier.  The most common home audio speakers used for whole house audio systems are ceiling speakers, in-wall speakers, and outdoor speakers.

Each separate listening area is called a zone.  Besides allowing basic speaker volume control for each separate zone using a keypad,  whole house audio systems also allow you to independently choose from among your audio/video sources within each zone.

Whole house audio keypads  Want to be able to control and operate your whole house audio system without needing to run to your amplifier or audio/video source components?  At the push of a button, you can change the music selection, the source component, raise or lower the volume, etc.  We recommend that you install a one keypad for each listening zone.  Keypads are designed for inwall installation.

Whole house audio systems are most easily installed in new construction by qualified professionals.  It's much easier to run wires BEFORE the walls and ceiling are in place, so it's never too early to plan out your entire whole house audio video system.  To ensure that any wiring exceeds your local electrical codes, we recommend pre-wiring for your audio distribution system by a qualified contractor.
