One of the joys about building a custom home is entertaining. There is nothing like having your guests over to enjoy a evening. Its time to set the mood with a whole house audio system, show off your new home with your favorite music in the background at the same time have that same music playing at the pool so you can take a swim and relax. We have designed systems that have over 40 zones of audio and utilize all of todays technologies. How would you like to have all your music on your ipod accessible in every single room of your home. We can make that happen and more. With a AMX touch panel or Universal Remote we can actually give you the ability to change songs from any room in the house and actually see what is playing on your touch screen. You can choose between artists, playlists, and genres all at your fingertips.
Above is a example picture of a AMX Panel. If you look to the right you can see a example of the track read out. When this image was taken the house system was playing Diana Krall, The Night We Called It A Day. If you wanted to go to the next track you would simply hit the next button down at the bottom. If you wanted more control of your music you could press the Music button located at the top left hand corner. This brings up a playlist chooser so you can select one that fits your mood.
There are other ways to integrate a Whole House Audio system into your home. The one shown above is the easiet to use and gives you the most flexibility. A few of the other options include Basic Volume knobs in every room. This method is commonly used around the North Dallas area. It is a very cost effective way to distribute audio through your house. In this sceneraio you would use the zone 2 speaker leads on your AV reciever and plug them into a “Speaker Selector”. This device allows you to split the siginal of the audio and route them to 6 zones. A basic universal remote can control the volume, tune between audio stations on your cable or even control a ipod dock.
