With a whole house entertainment system, the homeowner can also enjoy television or music, or both, in every room. RF distribution systems carry TV and video signals throughout the house. All the owner needs is a television set in every room to be able to view. As for music, multi-room audio systems provide high fidelity music everywhere, without the clutter or disruption caused by having to accommodate spate hi-fi systems in every room.

A controller and source equipment, such as a CD player and tuner sit out of sight. The controller then distributes the audio and control signals to a specified number of ‘zones’ in the home. Its only one system, but the owner can hear it and control it from any zone, and now with the introduction of Wi-Fi Technology, the installation is that much easier.

Controllers can take the form of wall mounted keypads or wireless colour screen media controllers, and the owner can select the source he or she wants to listen to, specify where they want to listen to it, turn the volume up/down, switch between radio stations, or change tracks on the CD that’s playing. The owner has complete control over the system without going anywhere near it.

Using a CD multi-changer or the latest hard-drive technology, or even you I-Pod, you can select music from you collection by searching by genre, artist, album, or song title from a remote control unit, or wall-mounted touch panel in any room of your home.

So where does the sound come from, there must be speakers and cables everywhere? Naturally there are speakers, but these are discreetly housed in the ceilings, or the walls. The cabling, like the speakers are also invisible.
