Each room or zone has an amplifier channel and its own speakers. The source can be a music app on your phone, internet radio or a turntable at home. In the app you choose what plays where and how loud, or group the whole house onto the same song.
Speaker options
- In-ceiling and in-wall speakers: practically invisible apart from the grille. They go in while the plasterboard ceiling is being built.
- Bookshelf and floor-standing speakers: for a fuller sound in the living room or study.
- Wireless smart speakers: no building work, just plug in and connect to the network. A practical starting point in an existing home.
- Outdoor speakers: moisture-resistant models for the garden, terrace or pool area.
Streaming
To send music from your phone, you will use AirPlay 2, Chromecast or Spotify Connect. Whether your household is mostly iPhone or Android, and which streaming service you use, affects product choice, because not every system supports every protocol.
