What Is Whole-Home Audio?

Whole-home audio is a system that places speakers strategically throughout your house to achieve the same crystal-clear sound effects offered by surround sound. While surround sound is limited to a single room, multi-room audio provides you with the same benefits in your entire house. You can control the audio easily with your tablet or smartphone so you can listen to music or your favorite TV show at any time with incredible sound quality.

To install a whole-home audio system, you need to have speakers placed in every room.

What Are the Benefits of Whole Home Audio?

Whole-home audio systems create an immersive entertainment experience. Instead of consisting of a single room that offers high-quality sound while watching movies or playing video games, whole-home audio brings that experience to your entire house. This means you can enjoy the same quality of audio anywhere in your house, so your kids can enjoy their favorite movies while you listen to music while cooking dinner and your significant other relaxes by playing video games in the living room. The best part of this multi-room audio is that you get the same quality of sound regardless of where you are in the house. 

While there are numerous benefits of installing multi-room audio, it offers three major advantages. When you choose to install whole-home audio throughout your home, you will quickly grow to love it when you see how it benefits you in three specific ways.

More Entertainment Options

Without a whole-house audio system, your family is limited on entertainment options. If you want to listen to music, you have to pull it up on your smartphone and sync it to speakers, and then you have to stay in the range of the audio equipment to enjoy the sound. If you change locations, you have to take the music with you. It isn’t always easy to stay in the range of sound speakers if you are traveling to different areas of your home doing chores.

Multi-room audio eliminates this issue. Not only is it easy to hear music as you move from the garage to the kitchen to the bathroom, but your entire family has access to numerous entertainment options at the touch of a button. Your teenage daughter can catch up on her favorite reality show in her room while enjoying the same audio that you and your partner have in the living room. A whole-home audiovisual system also allows you to put all of your movies and videos in a digital file that the whole family can access easily. You can also pull up apps such as Netflix and Amazon from anywhere in the house. The entertainment options are nearly endless.

Better Organization

One of the main drawbacks of using traditional speakers for the audio inside your home is visibility. Not only do you see the speakers, but you also have all of the wires and cords used to hook the speakers up. This leads to an unsightly jumble of cords that is hard to hide. You can try to hide the wires by placing your speakers in discrete locations, but if you want the full surround-sound experience, the speakers need to be placed in strategic spots around the room, which can make the wires difficult to hide.

Whole-home audio is the perfect solution if you want a crisp sound system without the wires. Instead of placing bulky speakers in every room of the house, a technician can install speakers directly into the ceiling so you get the same great benefits of high-quality audio without making your house feel cluttered with cords and wires. By installing this type of system, you can listen to music anywhere in your home without having to move speakers around or move complicated tangles of cords and wires. All of the wires for a whole home audio system are hidden, so your house looks clean and uncluttered.

More Control

When you have multiple entertainment stations, you have to move to different rooms to control each system. You also need to turn up the audio on each system individually and turn them off manually. Although having multiple systems offers many entertainment options, the lack of control is often frustrating, and you may wish you could access all of your systems with a single device.

Controlling the audio in your home is much easier while a whole-house sound system. You can control every facet of entertainment from your tablet or smartphone, so if your kids’ music is too loud, you can turn it down without having to access their equipment. If you’re throwing a dinner party, you can pull up your favorite playlist as background noise and keep it from overshadowing conversation. You can also switch between playlists or pull up a new song with just the touch of a button, whether you are cooking dinner or working on a project. This enhanced control is one of the primary benefits of installing a whole-home audio system. Instead of keeping track of multiple remotes for individual systems, you can control everything from your smartphone, so you never have to worry about losing control of your sound systems.

Home automation is a growing trend among homebuilders. Having the ability to control your house audio system from one convenient location such as your tablet or smartphone allows you to achieve high-quality sound throughout your whole house so everyone in your family has access to great entertainment options.
