What Are the Great things about Multi-Room Audio Video Systems?

[Micheal Jorden]

The definition of multi-room audio video simply means having audio and video sources available through the entire home - an entire house audio and video system.

Taking the sources you normally have in your lounge, like DVD player, CD Player and Radio Tuner, and placing them in a main location enables these sources to be distributed round the home. There are lots of different manufacturers who've ways of getting the audio and video signal to each room audio visual dallas, in addition they permit you to control the source as if you were in exactly the same room. Some systems distribute audio over Cat5e cabling, some do it wirelessly and some run speaker cable from the central location to each room. Our preferred method is to operate speaker cable for the straightforward reason it is more economical to put in one good multichannel amplifier in the central location than it is to put in an excellent amplifier in each room, you also have less equipment to house in the room.

 

After you have the audio feed into the room after this you need to control it - again different manufacturers have different ways with this - the cheaper systems provides you with a pre-engraved keypad allowing you to go up and down channels and change the volume. In comparison the higher priced systems permit you to choose a channel and see two way feedback - you will see things like CD covers and pick your music intuitively and you've access to the full range of controls on Sky remote controls. Installing a music server makes a lot of sense if you are installing an entire house system, you don't want to have to see a distant cupboard when changing music and there is also the advantage of streaming multiple CD's - different people can tune in to various things in numerous rooms. The same systems are available for DVD's, enabling anyone in your home to view a movie of their choice.
