Multi-room audio systems that allow for playback and often control of music throughout an entire home or building. Numerous commercial systems provide this function, or a system can be custom built or homemade.
Whole house audio systems can be classified as single zone or multiple zone
These systems distribute the same audio source everywhere—individual rooms must listen to the same audio source. This is the simplest type of system that can be installed.
These systems are the most advanced and flexible, and the most expensive. Different zones can select (and often control) different audio sources independently of other rooms.
