Combine Quality and Convenience in Your California Home

There are a lot of ways you can play music throughout your Petaluma, California home. One way is an integrated system from Elan or Savant that consolidates all your home AV equipment and content under one easy-to-use control interface. But for those who aren’t ready to commit to a fully integrated solution, wireless home music systems are a great first step in getting convenient access to your favorite albums and artists at the press of a button.

What is a Wireless Home Music System?

This ‘wireless’ concept can be a little misleading. While some wireless speakers are completely standalone and can be carried around (many of these relying on Bluetooth technology), most are actually plugged into the wall. What the wireless aspect refers to are your source components. Your audio files are transferred from their source—whether it’s a media library, computer or streaming service—to your speakers through your Wi-Fi.

What Are the Benefits of a Wireless Music System?

Wireless music systems let you eliminate the need for extensive wiring throughout your home. You can reduce clutter for a sleeker feel to your décor. Since less wiring is required, they’re also ideal for outdoor music. The biggest benefit of a wireless music system, though, may be convenience. These systems come with a mobile app to manage your music at the touch of a button. You don’t have to walk back to your speakers or computer to find the music you want. As soon as inspiration hits, pull up your smartphone to find the song you want. Have it play on one speaker, a specific room or multiple rooms.

Which Wireless Music System Should I Use?

Right now, the best system on the market is still the original: Sonos. Sonos offers three different speakers and a soundbar, so you can find equipment for every room. Each of these speakers is designed for high-quality sound, the latest models including technology that automatically calibrates the speaker to your room acoustics.

From the Sonos App, you can access music on media libraries, laptops, smartphones or thousands of streaming services including Pandora and Spotify. You can also create distinct audio zones within your system. So if you want to have music playing in your kitchen and living room when hosting a party, choose the “Living Area” zone. There’s no need to choose each speaker individually.

Why Should I Go With a Professional Installation?

The experts at Lavish Automation help you find the best layout for your speakers to create distinct audio zones within your home. We ensure zones don’t interfere with each other, so when one family member is playing music in the living room, you can enjoy your own playlist on the patio.

We also help you boost your home network. Your network is the foundation of your wireless system. You can invest in the best speakers on the market, but if your signal is always cutting out, your system is not going to be a lot of fun to use. We make sure your network is up to the task, even when you’re using your system outdoors.

Enjoy your favorite music at the touch of a button in every corner of your home. Contact Lavish Automation for a consultation!
