Getting the Most Out of Your Whole-Home Audio System

If you love listening to your favorite tunes all day long, you might want to invest in a whole-home audio system. Thanks to multiple streaming services these days, you can play any song you like in any part of your home. You can adjust the volume, hit pause and change the playlist in a different room.  

To elevate your listening experience, be sure that you get the most out of your whole home audio system. Here’s how you can make your audio system a worthwhile investment. 

Choose the Right Equipment

When upgrading your home’s audio system, you have to choose whether you want wired or wireless speakers. Wireless speakers are easier to install because they have fewer components. Also, they can go anywhere in your home, making it easy to create an audio system with a surround sound effect. 

On the other hand, wired speakers are bigger, which means they take up more space in your home. Due to their large size, wired speakers also generate more power and get better sound and more volume. By selecting the right equipment that fits your home and personal taste, listening to your favorite artists will never be the same. 

Create a Dedicated Listening Space

Just like setting up a library where you can relax and read your books peacefully, it’s also a great idea to set aside a room for music listening or movie viewing. With this space, you can work with the acoustics of your room and place your speakers properly to create a high-quality sound in your preferred seating position. You can also talk to our experts about custom home automation for an upgrade.

Additionally, the way you set up your audio system can make a huge difference. For instance, you may want to form a triangle with your speakers and your listening position. You can place your speaker at the same distance to the left and right from your listening position at the center, creating a triangle shape. 

Integrate Other Automation Systems

While you can use your audio systems for listening to music or podcasts, you can also integrate other automation into your home for more accessibility. If your audio system, home theater and lights are all linked, you can turn on your speakers, play a movie and dim the lights with a single button press on your smartphone. This way, you can easily control and handle your electronics and devices. You might also want to add a smart speaker to your home to incorporate voice control into your system. 

Wake Up to Your Favorite Playlist

Say goodbye to waking up to your beeping and jarring alarm clock. Instead of limiting your music to your bedside table, you can set up your favorite playlist on overhead speakers in your bedroom or anywhere else you want to hear music when you wake. Your music can also follow you all over your house as you get up from your bed and walk to the kitchen for a cup of morning coffee.
