You spent your hard earned cash downloading music from your favorite bands and countless hours ripping your CD collection. You love that your MP3 player is portable and the perfect companion for your morning commute but, have you ever wished that you had more options for accessing your vast digital library when you are at home?
There are many options available for listening to your MP3 player in one room, but what if you want to listen to the same song in all rooms of your home? An MP3 speaker system just isn’t going to fill your whole home with music.
Maybe it is time to have a multi-room audio video (MRAV) system installed in your home. You may be asking yourself, what exactly is a MRAV system? Never fear, CEA just launched a MRAV Guide that follows ‘A Day in the Life’ of the Johnson family using their MRAV system.
The Johnson’s don’t live in the home of the future; they live in the home of today. Technology that has always sounded like it was in the far off future is available now to fit your lifestyle. An MRAV system allows you not only to listen to music in multiple rooms of your home, but is nearly invisible and through the use of touchscreen control panels and in-wall and in-ceiling speakers you cut down on the clutter that can over take your home.
Through the use of CAT-5 wiring, you can build your system in stages. You might just want control of your music today, but down the road you could add lighting and temperature control, or an intercom system that incorporates a range of safety and security capabilities.
Most multi-room A/V systems require professional planning and installation. Working with a professional TechHome Integrator, will yield the best results and give you the option of incorporating video and home control functionality into the system as well.
