The system is expandable to a maximum of 12 zones. Series system allows you to listen to up to 6 sources independently in 3 different listening areas called “zones”.There are many ways to achieve Multi Zone / Multi Source control and the costs rise as the flexibility of the system and user interfaces improve.ĮLAN Home Systems has manufactured multi-room audio/video systems since 1989. Now you can have different music playing in different rooms. These systems have a separate amplifier for each zone and a keypad in each room allows control of not only the volume etc. * Multi Zone / Multi Source systems offer much more flexibility. All rooms must still listen to the same source however. and basically control the source equipment from your location. This will allow you to use a remote control to switch sources etc. * Add an IR (InfraRed) receiver and to the volume control and you have rudimentary control of the source. This is the minimum configuration that gives local control and it works for many simple applications and is relatively inexpensive … but you are still limited to one source of music in all of the rooms … and you can’t change anything but the volume without a walk to the source. * The next level would be to add local volume control to this basic system. This is not a great solution for obvious reasons. All volume and source control occurs at the source so all zones play the same music at the same volume. * A basic system would involve wiring to speakers in multiple locations and controlling them from the source (amplifier). Multi Room audio can come in many forms and these days there are many options available. And filling your home with music from end to end is just a pleasant experience … at any time. Even better if you can control the source of the music, volume etc. There is nothing like having the ability to listen to your favorite music … anywhere in your home. In the last year or so this product group has dominated the flow of new products and with good reason … they are a terrific addition to a home. When we started the Home Technology Demonstration Project one of the first systems that we wanted to work with was Multi Room Audio.
