Whole Home Audio Systems in Utah

Single Zone vs Multi Zone Whole Home Audio

The first decision when designing a whole-house music system is whether you want to listen to multiple sources in different areas or the same source in all areas at the same time. If the same source is playing throughout the house will fit your family’s needs, a lower cost Single-Zone system would be right for you. Reeds Built-Ins wires the system for either option. The system is hidden for a clean look, and it will be designed to make future upgrades simple. But there are other options also available.

What if dad wanted to listen to SiriusXM in the office while the kids listen to their favorite pop star on iTunes in the game room at the same time? A Multi-Zone system can accomplish just that. Whichever system you choose, we wire the house to make future upgrades simple. All of the equipment will be hidden in a storage room or other out-of-the-way place to eliminate unsightly electronic clutter. Working with our team, we will create a custom central whole home audio system that fits your needs and budget.

Whole Home Audio FAQs

What are whole home audio systems?

In the most mechanical terms, whole home audio systems, or whole house audio systems, are a series of speakers strategically installed throughout your home and controlled as one flexible unit through a centralized interface. However, they’re also a way to give your life a soundtrack. Access the perfect music or podcast for any moment in any room in your home. You can set up playlists and timers or access your music from your smartphone and play it through your whole home audio system.

What are the best kinds of speakers for whole-house audio?

There is no one-size-fits-all recommendation for speakers for your whole house audio system. It will depend on the number of rooms, the size of the rooms, the rooms’ orientations, the distance from the central controls, and the capabilities of the other components of your system.

You have two options for your whole house audio. You can get all the components wired into the walls of your home, or you can opt for wireless speakers instead. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.

The technology for wireless speaker systems has advanced to the point that there’s little reason to hardwire all your speakers and other components. Whole-home audio wireless speakers require minimal installation because you don’t have to run cables or wires to each speaker. Instead, you just plug it in, turn it on, and connect it wirelessly. That easy setup also makes wireless speakers easier to relocate in the future.

While wireless speaker systems can be more convenient, they can’t always handle all the integrations wired audio systems can. Wired systems also maintain their connection, even if the wifi goes out. Plus, you can build wired systems seamlessly into your walls.

What mistakes do people commonly make when installing whole-home audio?

The biggest mistake people make when installing whole home-audio systems is installing components in places with insufficient space for adjustments.

Accessing a tiny connection area may be fine initially, but your system will likely grow and change over time. Don’t stuff your control panel or speakers into inaccessible corners or cabinets. Leave sufficient space behind the components to adjust cables or antennas.

Leaving this space will make maintaining and upgrading your whole house audio easier in the future.

Do you have to hire a professional to install whole-home audio systems?

Some whole-home audio systems allow for self-installation, but we do not recommend it. While installing your speakers yourself may seem straightforward, almost every installation will bring unforeseen challenges.

Working with home audio professionals will deliver a better-sounding system. Thanks to professional installation techs, it will also integrate seamlessly into your living space and look fantastic.

Our audio professionals have the knowledge and experience to assess the sound needs in your home and design a system with all the correct components. Then, they can install it in your home with little invasiveness. They test all of the components to make sure they work correctly before showing you how to work the system and helping you troubleshoot.
