Whole house audio system A whole house audio
distribution system is the
perfect complement to a home theater.
At the same time that the kids are watching a movie, the adults can be enjoying music in
multiple listening areas located in different rooms throughout the home
and outside
near the patio, deck, pool, or garden! The magic of whole house audio systems
is that -- with the help of one or more audio distribution
amplifiers -- you can wire an entire home for listening to stereo music
played through any combination of in-wall speakers, in-ceiling speakers,
and outdoor speakers. Since
these types of speakers are designed to be "hidden" either in the walls and ceilings or protected from
the outdoor elements under eaves, you don't have to fill up the entire
house with a separate component stereo system in each room. For
obvious reasons, whole house audio distribution systems are
more easily installed in new construction because you can more easily
pre-wire for all listening zones before the walls are
in place.
Whole house audio
systems like NuVo's Grand Concerto system (see right column) typically include wall touch keypads for individual
zones
as well as a remote control that allows you to control the audio
system independently from each listening zone. Imagine being able to switch
easily among various audio input sources, and raise or lower the
speaker volume WITHOUT having to constantly make a mad dash to
the central amplifier!
Speaking of audio input sources, don't forget that you will
also need to decide where your
music and other audio programming will be coming from. For
example, the NuVo NV-M3 M3 Triple Outlet Music Server is the first in-home
music server of its kind with full Digital Rights Management
compliance. 3 Source Outputs include a 160 GB Hard
Drive, NuVoNet Communication, and Windows Media Player music
management. 115 straight days of nonstop
music at 128 kbps is possible!
