Whole-Home Audio: What You Need
To build a multi-room speaker system, you’ll need the following components:
- Smart Home Controller or Multi-Source Receiver: This works as the brains of the system, distributing audio sources to amplifiers and speakers.
- Audio Amplifiers: Amplifies digital or analog signals to your speakers.
- Loudspeakers: May take the form of floor-standing, bookshelf, or in-wall and in-ceiling speakers—whatever you prefer.
- Audio Sources: Music streaming, CD players, turntables, radio, digital music library, etc.
- Remotes, Switches & Apps: How you’ll control the whole-home audio system. Switch between wall keypads, handheld remotes, or smartphone app—whatever feels more convenient.
Wired vs. Wireless Speakers
Whole-home audio systems can be installed in two ways: with wired or wireless speakers. Wired speakers involve running data wiring (preferably within walls) from the receiver/controller to your amplifiers and speakers. Wired systems are often the most reliable, as you won’t lose connection as you might with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
However, if wiring the system isn’t possible, you can instead install wireless speakers. By wireless, we mean they aren’t wired to the whole-home system—but you will still need to plug speakers into outlets. Wi-Fi signals have a further range than Bluetooth speakers, so if you opt for wireless audio, we recommend using Wi-Fi-supported speakers.
