System Overview
How would you like to listen to your favourite music throughout the house? With this multi-room audio system you can!
The system is designed to distribute music to 4 rooms in your house.
We've taken the guess work out of which streamers, amplifiers, speakers and cabling are required and combined them into one simple package. 3 zones are for indoor rooms (living / dining / bedroom / office or kitchen) and 1 zone is for an outdoor alfresco area with a flat ceiling.
Need more than 4 rooms? No problem, because this system is modular and can be expanded up to 64 zones!
The system is comprised of a Monitor Audio 4 zone multi-room streamer that uses BluOS technology. BluOS gives you access to popular audio streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Deezer or TuneIn Radio, just to name a few.
The streamer will let you play 4 different types of music, in 4 rooms of your home, at different volumes, at the same time! Having a party? You can set the system to play the same music everywhere in the house, at the volume levels you want, all from the convenience of your smart device.
The streamer is the brains of the operation and tells the amplifier what to do. Included in the system is a 4-zone amplifier that will power the speakers in your 4 rooms.
All of the speakers for your indoor rooms are the in-ceiling type and have round white magnetic grills. The speakers blend in seamlessly with your décor and you won't even notice they are there. That is until you turn them on and hear the clarity of the sound!
Ceiling not white? No problem, because the grills are paintable to match the colour of your room.
The speakers for the outdoor alfresco are also in-ceiling but are all-weather speakers that are designed to live outside and deal with the elements of moisture, temperature and humidity. Don't have a flat ceiling in your alfresco? Not a problem, we can substitute the in-ceiling speakers for surface mount ones.
Finally all the cabling required to connect the entire system, is also included.
Note: Please ask us about Professional Installation. We have an experienced Audio Trends installation team who are available to make sure your system is installed correctly and will set up the app on your smart device for easy system control.
