Discover How Multi-Room Music Products Distribute Sound

By Marta McBrian


My goal is to examine several of the latest multi-room audio models that are designed to deliver audio all over your home. Distributing audio all over the home has a number of unique problems. Let me show which of modern multi-room systems best deal with these obstacles plus offer a number of buying ideas.

If you are hoping to set up music in a number of areas of your home you are lucky. You can find several models readily available such as Sonos wireless music models, Logitech's squeezebox, Creative Lab's wireless transmitters amongst others. Whichever product you choose is determined by exactly which functions and degree of functionality you need plus your finances. The majority of these systems are modular and you may start out getting just a couple of key modules and after that purchase more parts as you expand the scope of your project at a later time.

If you have a network cable connection installed in your home then you will not have any complications because almost all new multi-room music products can transfer audio by way of a network cable. The individual components can easily hook up to your home network via LAN cable or stream music wirelessly. If you have a LAN cable connection in your residence then you certainly should decide on a product that doesn't have a wireless LAN in order to help save various cash. If, however, you don't have a wired LAN connection you definitely should go for a product with integrated wireless or as an alternative wireless expansion modules. If the main concern is simplicity of installation then it makes sense to purchase a system with integrated wireless. If, however, you need to cover a few areas in which a LAN cable is accessible then you may consider choosing a product which offers a wireless option. It's not necessary to get the wireless option for all parts which have access to your network cable. As a result you can save some cash.

Installing a multi-room audio product is quite clear-cut for most products. To start with, you'll must have an internet connection if you plan on streaming audio coming from an internet source like an internet radio station. If you wish to distribute audio which is kept locally, like an MP3 collection, a simple home LAN connection is enough. If the audio is kept on a PC or an Apple gadget then you need to share the audio directory on your network via your PC network adapter or through an iPod dock. It is easy to control your system either through a dedicated remote that can be expensive or by installing an app on to a mobile device such as an iPhone.

One of several main features of contemporary multi-room audio models is the ability to set up music zones which are areas which play the exact same music. A zone does not necessarily have to be one space. You can group a number of areas or your whole home into a single zone. Also, you are able to arrange two speakers together. Through outputting the left music channel on one speaker and the right channel on the other loudspeaker, the stereo effect can be enhanced. While getting a audio system, look at the technical specs in order to find out if the audio of all loudspeakers within a zone is going to be in sync. In other words be sure there's no delay between the sound playing from several speakers. This kind of delay might worsen the sound experience.
