If you've ever thrown a party at home or just missed your favourite part of
a song because you briefly had to leave your main listening room, you've
probably thought about investing in a wireless multi-room audio system. With
the right setup, you can enjoy music all day across several different rooms.
While many music enthusiasts still opt for a wired component audio system,
there are several advantages to cutting the cords.
Leave your walls intact
In the past, those who were interested in hearing their tunes throughout
the home - without greatly diminishing sound quality - had little choice but to
run lots of speaker wire in not-so-favourable places. These arrangements
involve positioning speakers in different areas of the house and connecting
them to an amplifier or receiver. From there, the listener must manually set
which speakers deliver sound to one or more zones.
To avoid tripping over wires everywhere they go, the listener must try to
conceal them. While running the wires below a rug in DIY fashion might suffice
as a solution, the more comprehensive approach calls for a robust home audio
installation. That entails an extensive project of running wires within the
walls and ceiling - and a tremendous headache if you ever need to replace part
of the system.
Avoiding these labour-intensive processes is an excellent reason to use a
wireless solution instead. With a compact Wi-Fi-connected or Bluetooth speaker
in every room, it's easy to spread the music around in a way that fits your
preferences and needs. The key is to avoid compromising sound quality
by choosing speakers made with high-quality materials that
consistently deliver a rich, full-range experience.
A wireless multi-room audio system brings you
enhanced control
Today's wireless audio systems also have major advantages over traditional
component audio when it comes to adjusting where and when they play. With
the HEOS app, there's no need to return to the receiver every time you
want to turn the speakers on and off in particular zones. Instead, listeners
have a simple, portable interface for setting what music plays where.
The app allows the flexibility to establish zones throughout the house and
control them from anywhere. You can beam the same tunes everywhere for a
gathering, or everyone can play the music they prefer in their own space.
Listeners also have options to select their favourites from the library on
their mobile devices or stream from a wide variety of streaming services.
Add a HEOS AVR to serve as the hub of the system, providing exceptional
performance while unlocking new possibilities for your setup. You can continue
using traditional component speakers in your primary listening area for centre,
left and right channels while taking advantage of wireless flexibility. Skip
running cables throughout the room by connecting HEOS wireless speakers as your
rear surrounds, and enjoy access to an expansive library of music via the
streaming capabilities.
The game has changed in multi-room audio thanks to wireless technology.
