Audio Video Term

Multi-Room Audio

Multi-Room Audio is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Multi-Room Audio is audio that can play in more than one room with independent source, volume, and grouping options.

Example of Multi-Room Audio

A family can stream music in the kitchen, patio, and primary suite at different volumes while controlling each room from the same app or keypad. In that kind of Davis whole-home audio project, the term Multi-Room Audio would describe audio that can play in more than one room with independent source, volume, and grouping options. Davis would use that understanding to account for speaker zones, amplifier channels, streaming sources, volume controls, and app or keypad access, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
