Audio & Video Distribution
What is multi-room audio?
With "multi-room" audio systems, you can choose:
- what type of music you want to hear
- where you want the music played
- what order the music is played in
- what volume you want to hear
Beethoven in the bathroom, Miles Davis in the lounge, Take That in the kitchen…whoever your top 10 artists may be, you can make them all guests in your home!
Select different music for different rooms with handheld contols (including smartphones or tablet PCs) or a range of wall mounted controls to suit any décor or budget. You may want one audio stream, album or radio station playing across all rooms at once for parties – no problem.
Develop your digital music library, held on a bespoke hard drive or a dedicated audio server within your home network.
With new “Cloud” internet based backups, you can be sure your music is safe and backed up for security.
We pride ourselves on our expertise of speaker technology, and the science that goes behind how we hear music. The speakers and amplifiers represent key parts of any thinkingbricks multi-room system. Choose the locations for speakers – recessed into the ceiling, flush mounted on the walls or suspended in the corners of the room.
Make your iPod feel at home…
New generation multi-room audio systems have welcomed the iPod as a source of audio.
Use your iPod as a music server, navigate your iTunes library via either a TV screen, an in-wall keypad or handheld remote control. Plug your iPod into the docking station in the kitchen, or master bedroom to share music around the house, or listen to someone else’s “guilty pleasures” from their iPod in another room.
Just add video…
