Reimagining What’s Possible with Whole-Home Audio Video
Letting Music Elevate Every Day and Enhance Every Experience
Music brings people together. Whether it’s family dance nights, singing along to favorite songs, or creating a calming bedtime routine for the kids, having easy access to music throughout the home fosters bonding and shared experiences. When you look back, some of the greatest memories you have are often stirred to life by a song.
So, how do you create a home where music drifts seamlessly through every room and into your outdoor areas? And how can you make it come to life without the hassle of cords, large speakers, and bulky audio video equipment? Is there a way to enjoy this immersive auditory experience while maintaining a clutter-free aesthetic?
There is. The answer lies in whole-home audio and invisible speakers.
Once established, you’ll find music becomes a central part of your existence, creating more joy, life, and incredible entertainment.

Whole-Home Audio Defined
A distributed audio system lets you replicate your audio source equipment in every room and outdoor space. All the equipment is placed on a custom rack in a designated closet. These components may be CD players, turntables, satellite receivers, and streaming devices.
Audio signals are distributed to strategically installed in-wall and in-ceiling speakers throughout your home. Outside, landscape speakers provide even coverage throughout your entire property.
Now, you can play your treasured vinyl collection anywhere. The results are nothing if not astounding.
Some homeowners also incorporate video distribution. In these cases, all video sources are added to the rack, including cable boxes, media servers, Blu-ray players, and Apple TVs. The video signals are then distributed to all your TVs.
Invisible Speakers
As homeowners began exploring ways to make their homes more entertaining while retaining their design, audio manufacturers took notice. Today’s technology offers high-fidelity speakers that resemble recessed lights or are discreetly installed inside walls, remaining completely hidden from view.
Others are installed in ceilings with grills painted to match the surroundings or covered with materials like wallpaper, wood, or drywall. These speakers blend seamlessly into the surrounding surfaces, producing sound that seems to emanate from the air.
The result is crisp, detailed music that fills the home from an unseen source.
Simple Control
In addition to consolidating all your music sources, these systems also provide access to nearly every streaming music service through a touchscreen. Choices include high-resolution sources, such as Qobuz, TIDAL, Amazon Music Unlimited, and Apple Music.
From these screens, as well as mobile devices and remotes, you can select what you want to hear, from what source, and where you want to listen to it. You can choose your whole home when hosting a dinner party and stream your classical playlist. Your family can also tune into different audio in different rooms simultaneously.
No matter your mood or activity, the perfect song awaits you.
A whole-home audio system can also sync with other smart home systems. When you press the dining, entertaining, or relaxing button, the perfect song plays while the lights, shades, and climate adjust.
The Soundtrack of Your Life
In many ways, music is the soundtrack to our lives, reflecting our moods and taking us back in time. An audio distribution system allows this music to follow you with the touch of a button or a voice command. It’s a far different experience than carrying around a Bluetooth speaker. This music brings your home to life with every note and each instrument, with high-fidelity audio that ensures you hear the music as the artist intended.
