Multiroom – What is it?
Do you often change rooms when cleaning and the music gets quieter and quieter from room to room? A multiroom system is THE solution for anyone who wants to listen to music in more than just one room. At the same time, the system also allows you to listen to different music in each room. We explain how a multiroom system works and how you can benefit from this special form of audio technology.
What is multiroom?
When several devices form a music network, this is referred to as a multiroom system or multiroom audio. Multiroom describes the system of audio and video systems that extend over several rooms. Multiroom solutions therefore do not only refer to room-spanning audio distribution, but also include synchronous image distribution.
Media source of a multiroom system
Sometimes own devices such as stereo systems are the media source. Today, however, most systems allow media content to be streamed directly from mobile devices. The signals can be distributed either via fixed cabling or via a radio system. A WLAN connection is also possible.
Multiroom: advantages
Multiroom systems are therefore a room-spanning audio and video distribution, which is achieved using networked devices. This offers a wide range of advantages for users. One major advantage, for example, is the shared, decentralized control. As a rule, control via app or voice assistant is possible, which makes operation extremely convenient.
In addition, installation is usually quick and uncomplicated. Once the system has been put into operation, it is ready for use. Media usage can be set individually in each room and the modular multiroom can be easily expanded if required.
Modular multiroom
A multiroom system can be quickly and easily expanded in a modular way. This means that it does not necessarily have to be set up completely from the outset. Extensions can also be added step by step at any time. Existing systems can be integrated into other systems without great effort. In addition, multiroom systems usually keep themselves up to date through updates.
Multiroom and smart home
Many different audio technology providers now offer multi-room systems. For example, Amazon Echo speakers are smart speakers that can be combined to create multi-room sound systems. Voice control takes place via Amazon Alexa. In addition, Google Home and Apple HomePod also work with multi-room systems.
