Whole House Music

The idea of having music throughout the home is idea that has grown by leaps and bounds over the last several years. Incorporating this lifestyle technology has become simple to use, easy to install, and more affordable than ever before.

The most basic of systems could include distributing one or more sources such as a CD player and/or radio, etc. to several rooms of your home. You would be able to control the volume of the music in each room individually by the use of a dimmer-style volume control.

The next level would be to distribute multiple sources to each room but having the option to play different sources in different rooms at the same time. For example, you could listen to the CD player in the kitchen while listening to the radio in the office and an MP3 style device in the basement. All the while being able to control these devices from the room in which you are listening.

The flexibility of controlling these devices can range from an infrared receiver built into the volume control to a touchscreen keypad.

Some of the more advanced products such as Media Servers allow you to store your entire Music Collection in one place. Access to the music is usually gained by touchscreen keypads that can display albumÕs cover art as well as your entire collection organized by artist, genre, or customized playlists.
