What’s Multi-Room Audio All About?
The concept behind multi-room, multi-source music is the ability to listen to different music in different areas at different volumes. The number of areas will vary dramatically depending upon the size of each installation. A system that requires different music sources to be sent to different zones will need a matrix switcher, which co-ordinates what source is routed to each zone. A zone however, may consist of more than one amplifier, like in a bedroom and ensuite where the same music would be played into the two areas but individual volume control is required. This
would be configured as a single zone but with two amplifiers, with each of the amplifiers having individual control. Each matrix switcher can support up to eight zones, with the ability to
cascade up to three matrix switchers offering as many as 24 zones.
