Create a Customized Listening Experience Throughout Your Home

Sound, particularly music, has the power to transform your mood in an instant. Research shows music is so powerful that it helps you through sad feelings and even improves recovery after surgery. It also showed that for some people, sad music worsened their anxiety or depression. 

Music and sound will affect people differently. It's one of the reasons that our whole-home audio solutions include dedicated zones, so it's easy for family members to play the music they want without imposing their choice on the rest of the house.  

Below, we outline how these zones work, and we provide examples of some of our clients' most commonly used ones in Chesterfield, MO.

How Zones Work in Whole-Home Audio 

How do we create distinct sonic environments throughout your home? First, it starts with a suitable foundation, carefully considering your space's acoustics so sound doesn't seep into one area from another. Each zone may also have a unique speaker layout to deliver great sound—home theater surround sound, for example, has different requirements than background music for your kitchen. We'll group speakers in each zone within your multi-room audio platform, making it easy for you to choose what to listen to and where. 

Tailoring Sound for Different Areas of Your Home

Although each client is different, we'll typically include a few go-to zones in our audio installations. Below we outline four favorites: theaters, bedrooms, gyms, and patios. 

  • Home Theater: Theaters are all about immersive sound, whether for gaming, movies, or TV shows. We'll add Dolby Atmos surround sound and ensure it stays contained within your theater to provide the ultimate viewing or gaming experience for you without disrupting the rest of the family. 
  • Bedroom: While Dad watches Monday Night Football in the theater, enjoy relaxing music or nature sounds through in-ceiling speakers to prepare for sleep. If you have a strict routine, schedule your sleep playlist to come on at a given time each night. 
  • Home Gym: Head to the gym and enjoy some energizing music to get your heart pumping. Use your multi-room audio to listen to your favorite workout videos without annoying earbuds. 
  • Patio: Your whole-home audio zones extend beyond your four walls. We'll add weatherproof speakers, so you can listen to classic rock or the latest Cardinals game when grilling. 

Getting the Most Out of Your Audio Zones

There are two steps to successfully setting up audio zones for our clients. The first is ensuring we're using the correct type of speakers for each application: Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers in your theater, moisture-friendly ones in the bathroom, and outdoor-rated ones for the patio.

More important, though, is having a whole-home audio system that is easy to use. With our Control4 systems, you can easily pick out what you want to listen to and where. Choose specific zones or have music playing throughout the house. Additionally, you'll get control the way you want: via touchpads, voice control, or mobile apps.

 

From immersive theaters to relaxing bedrooms, energizing gyms, and outdoor patios, our tailored zones cater to every family member's taste. Call or fill out our contact form today for expert assistance. Let's create your ultimate audio experience.
