How to Create Whole House or Multi

Multi-Zone / Multi-Source Systems Using a Receiver . If you own a newer home theater receiver, you can harness its multi-room/-source features without the need to incorporate a switch. Many receivers have additional outputs that can provide two-channel audio (and sometimes video) to as many as three separate zones.This means you can have different music/sources playing in different areas ...

This is a whole house distributed audio wiring diagram showing amplification that is run through passive volume controls before continuing on to the speakers. This system allows you to adjust the volume right in the room you are in, plus an integrated IR receiver will let you control your source devices if needed.

A well-planned multi-room audio system keeps music moving through your home. You can power in-ceiling speakers, floor-standing and bookshelf speakers, and outdoor speakers, all through the same wired system. Wired multi-room audio systems can range from simple two-room, one-receiver setups to more advanced multi-zone systems.

In an earlier article we looked at the issues involved in connecting multiple speakers to one amplifier. In this article we look at some of the practical ways of wiring four speakers to each amplifier (left and right) . For example, it is normal to have your main HiFi amplifier in the lounge room.

A speaker selector sits between your receiver and speakers and splits the audio signal to all the speakers. Speaker selectors are very straight forward devices. As you can see from the diagram below, you simply connect the speaker output terminals from your receiver (usually Zone 2 or assignable back channels) or amplifier to the speaker selector.

Most multi-room audio systems connect to (and work over) your home's wi-fi network so there's no need to trip over trailing wires, either. Nor is there need to buy a complete system straight off the bat. You can start with one or two speakers and expand from room to room, controlling music via the tap of an app.

Kitchens and bathrooms are both full of hard, reflective surfaces, so acoustics are always going to be challenging; in these rooms in-ceiling speakers are fine, but in living rooms, bedrooms, etc, multi-room audio can and should be done better through the use of in-wall speakers, TV sound bars (e.g. Sonos Playbar) or good-looking bookshelf speakers,” says Will Brocklebank.

The whole-house audio system we’re showing in this article uses a technology called A-BUS. A-BUS technology uses a standard Cat-5e cable (four-pair communication wire) to carry all the signals from a central source. The wires carry audio signals to each room, where they’re amplified to speaker-level audio by the keypads.
