Distributed Audio Signals are sent from the head end audio equipment rack location to the appropriate corresponding speakers located throughout the home or business setting. These audio signals are distributed utilizing appropriately sized and gauged custom integration in-wall/in-ceiling speaker wiring infrastructures. The correct speaker wiring gauge is determined based on distance from audio equipment to the desired speaker locations throughout the building, ensuring optimal lossless high quality audio signal transmission from short to long distances from the head end audio equipment location.
One of the biggest advantages of integrating a distributed audio system, is that regardless of not having direct physical access to the source equipment, to have hands on control of equipment as in a traditional locally installed receiver or amplifier (to control the system functions, change the volume, select sources, inputs, etc.). Distributed Audio Systems provide the unique ability to have full system control right at the comfort of your fingertips, via a combination of different remote control methods, such as;
> Smart Phones & Tablets (Via Dedicated Mobile Apps)
> Desktop & Laptop Computers (Via Dedicated Software)
> In-Wall Touch-Panel Displays
> In-Wall Analog & Digital Volume Controls
> Personalized Universal Remote Controls
Utilizing a sophisticated audio networking protocol, distributed audio systems provide the ability to control essentially all aspects of the system functionality as well as volume control for individual rooms, audio zones, specific grouped audio zones, or all rooms & audio zones combined.
Simply put, by connecting and integrating a distributed audio system to the local home or business networking infrastructure, enables the ability for the end user to listen to a different music source in each room or audio zone. While retaining the full system control capabilities over each independent audio instance via the system control resources listed above.
Similar to a traditional localized audio stereo system, distributed audio systems provide the seamless ability to utilize and incorporate essentially all types of indoor / outdoor speaker styles and options. Such as; Wall-Mount, In-Ceiling / In-Wall, Floor Standing Towers & Bookshelf Speakers, Discreet Rock Speakers & Garden Speakers, Etc. Also in most cases, newly installed distributed audio system head end source components can reuse an existing speaker system when performing back-end audio system upgrades and retrofit installations, taking full advantage of the existing speaker system while also providing a significantly lower price point cost effective audio system upgrade.
