What Do You Get with a Whole-House Audio System?
Understanding Important Elements of Whole Home Audio
What exactly is whole-house audio? Is it just audio you can hear all over your house? Well, yes, of course. But there are a few ways to get audio all over your home. Could you have a system in every room? Sure. If your house is very open, could you put one potently loud system in one room and hear it in two others? We don’t recommend it, but you could – and some people do just that!
We do, however, have a specific view of what makes a whole-house audio system, one that offers the right balance of audio quality, ease of use, and aesthetic appeal for your Niceville, FL, home. Ready to see what we mean? Please keep reading.

The Right Speakers in Every Space
There are some one-size-fits-all solutions for whole-house audio and some few-sizes-fit-all solutions as well. We prefer the right size for your specific space in whole-home audio. What do we mean? Instead of choosing from a brand’s small, medium, and large speakers, you choose the right speaker that works well in each room. For example, you might have smaller ceiling speakers in the bedroom for relaxing background music and more powerful in-wall multi-driver speakers for a large family room. You can also choose freestanding or architectural speakers and vary that by room. If you want to include some prized speakers from your existing audio system, you can do that too!
Ease of Use and Control
In the past, some whole house systems required training to use. Today’s streaming music services and connected systems should make whole-house audio easier, but sometimes even that is not enough. A good system gives you the flexibility of control with a consistent, intuitive interface. Of course, app control is great, butthat is only one of your options. A good system also provides access through one-touch buttons to start music on a wall keypad, a smart AV remote with real buttons for volume and play/pause, and a dedicated touchscreen that only does home automation and AV control.
Audio Quality
Any speaker can produce sound in a room, but is it quality sound? Good sound quality comes from matching an amplifier to the speaker, correct installation, and proper sound system calibration. It might involve more than one pair of speakers in a large room, choosing ceiling or in-wall speakers depending on the room layout and ceiling height, different amplifiers for speaker sets, and even the wiring distances between rooms. Professionals that install whole-house audio systems know how to put all the variables together to deliver a system that sounds great in every room.
