Wouldn't it be nice to be able to listen to your favourite music while you are in the kitchen making dinner or while you are enjoying your morning shower? With distributed audio, you can listen to music from a single source anywhere there are speakers installed.

Distributed audio, also referred to as whole house audio or whole home audio, offers the ability to listen to an audio source located in one room through speakers located in another. The central unit, an audio controller is designed to accept audio inputs from a variety of sources, including the television, stereo and even your computer, and share that audio with any speakers installed throughout your home.

The price of a distributed audio system can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on what you want it to do. When considering a distributed audio system, a good rule of thumb is to consider both current and future needs and invest in equipment that will provide good quality of sound for years to come.
