Home Audio System Multi-Room

Access Your Music In Any Room

Whether you listen to music casually, or you are an audio enthusiast, you should love the way your music sounds, especially at home. Music is a way for us to reflect or unwind from a hard day. We use music to celebrate and to create a mood when we entertain. It not only helps us shape the atmosphere, it shapes us in ways we are unaware of. And, because we have an inherent connection to music, we owe it to ourselves to make it more accessible, especially when we are at home.

The fact is, music is more than just waves in our ears. It’s a catalyst for emotion, the soul of the songs we play, and the artists who create them. There is an intimacy we feel, a closeness with the artists who tell us their stories through their music. And while technology makes our favorite music more accessible, it can also degrade the listening experience, stripping away the composition’s original detail and quality.

For many of us, we need our music! That’s why getting the right sound in every room of your home is so important. Don’t compromise your musical experience or limit the closeness you get when you hear your music the way the artist intended. Instead, enjoy the power, emotion, and complexity of the music you love at home, just as the artist intended it to be heard!

From the content to the amplifiers and speakers, the Triad audio line from Control4 has been engineered specifically to combat low-quality, lifeless music. We welcome you to experience your music, feel your music, and remember it with the right multi-room home audio system.

Music shapes us…

Why High Resolution Audio Matters

A number of things impact the way prerecorded music sounds, but the quality of the recording and the quality of the playback equipment are some of the biggest factors that influence the music experience at home. Today most music is saved as a digital file on our phones and computers, this results in music that is compressed. Compression is the process of shrinking a file to consume less memory, allowing you to save more music. But the problem with this, is that compression actually removes portions of your music. It is much like compressing a photo to save space. It’s still the same song, but some of the detail is missing. And no matter how good your amplifier or speakers are, they cannot add detail back into music that has been compressed. Additionally, the electronics we use for music playback can make the music sound harsh, especially at high volumes. This harshness is called distortion. It is the reason loud music on low-quality audio equipment hurts your ears. And, no matter how good the quality of the content, electronics with high distortion cannot accurately reproduce the sound.

Audio equipment that can accurately play the range of sounds from the softest to loudest notes, means it has high dynamic range. The human ear has a dynamic range of about 120 dB, but low-quality audio equipment may be able to reproduce a range of only 90 dB or below, which makes the music sound flat. Low dynamic range is the equivalent of removing color from any of your photos. And no matter how high the quality of the content, some electronics just aren’t built to deliver full dynamic range. On the other hand, equipment with high dynamic range makes music sound more true to life, even if it’s compressed. Triad’s products retain the beauty and artistic quality of the original music. They support extremely high-resolution audio formats including 24-bit audio. The same level of audio that you get with today’s high-fidelity Blu-ray movies. And, with Triad’s line of high-resolution amplifiers and audio equipment that is engineered with extremely low distortion and high dynamic range. All of your music just sounds better because it is replicating what was originally recorded.

Multi-Room Audio

What Do I Need?

So, you’ve decided you want to listen to high-resolution music in your home. The first question is, where? Whether you start with music in a single room or distribute audio throughout the entire house, immerse yourself in music while preparing dinner, entertaining guests, getting a sweat on in your home gym, or just relaxing with a glass of wine on the patio. With Control4, you can enjoy music in one room or every room. Once you’ve decided where you want to listen to music, let’s talk about the components you need to deliver it. First you need content (the music you want to listen to). Whether it’s a stack of CDs, a shelf of vinyl, a hard drive with your digital collection, or a streaming music service, what you want to listen to is where you’ll start.

Next, you need a device that plays your content. Today, digital music is king, so you need a digital music player such as a computer, smartphone, music server, or some kind of all-in-one music device. And, with so much music that is instantaneously available, you want easy access. Naturally, most people think of using their smartphone, and, of course, this is a great way to control your music throughout your entire home. But while it can be incredibly convenient, sometimes it doesn’t make sense to fumble with an app just to get the music started. The good news is, you can use a keypad on the wall, a portable touch screen, or even just your voice with Control4. Making your music more accessible than ever.

Next, you will need a multi-room amplifier. A multi-room amplifier is one that connects to speakers throughout the home and allows you to listen to the same (or different) music in every room. One advantage of this centralized audio amplification is that the electronics can all be neatly hidden away in a single location. And finally, the speakers! In the same way that there are big differences in food quality from different restaurants, quality of cars from various manufacturers, or even shoes from different brands, there are huge differences in the sound you will get from different speakers.
