Invisible Speakers Are Increasingly Popular in Home Theaters & Multi-Room Systems. Could Your Home Benefit?

Next time you’re in a coffee shop or restaurant that’s playing music, look around. You may see speakers mounted high on the walls. Or you may not see any speakers at all.  

Many restaurants and stores have long used in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, even taking it a step further with invisible speakers (more on those below). But now, more luxury homes than ever are embracing hidden audio in walls and ceilings.

What is hidden audio, and what is it like in practice? In this article, we’ll share how hidden speakers like Sonance’s Invisible Series play into whole-home audio systems. And if you’re interested in audio solutions in the Dallas, TX area, contact Texadia Systems to learn more.

Discover Your Options for Whole Home Audio 

Just like food, the way we enjoy music is a personal experience. Do you prefer intimate gigs or stadium concerts? Would you rather listen to tunes while busy with other activities, like cleaning or jogging? Or do you like to sit and focus on an album with undivided attention? And when friends and family are over, is music a centerpiece of the experience, or just ambient background noise? 

No matter your musical habits, the most satisfying way to enjoy music is with a whole home audio system installed in your Dallas, Texas–area residence. With every room’s speakers connected to one network and controlled from one device, you’ll be able to turn on and off the entire house at once. 

But not all audio systems are the same. If you’re planning on building a new AV system, there are many nuances to be aware of. To create the perfect AV system you will enjoy for years on end, continue reading below!

IT’S NEVER TOO SOON TO BE THINKING ABOUT FOOTBALL SEASON 

Imagine the biggest game of the season is about to start. Your friends and family are gathered at your house, snacks are ready, and cold drinks are in the cooler. And whether your guests watch the Cowboys indoors or chill by the pool, gameplay can be heard in every area, thanks to whole-home audio.  

For homeowners in the "Big D," whole-home audio is the ultimate game changer (pun intended). Whole-home audio, or multi-room audio, is a system that allows you to stream audio to speakers located throughout your house in Dallas, TX. This means you can listen to the game (or music) indoors, outdoors, upstairs, or downstairs—everywhere simultaneously. 

Here's a simple guide to getting started. And if you’d like to start your whole-home audio installation? Contact Texadia Systems here. 

Heard, Not Seen: Audio That Blends into Your Home & Backyard 

Imagine music flowing through every room in your house—and outdoors, too—following you as you go about your day. Maybe it’s soft, acoustic music like Norah Jones in the morning and an upbeat, fun playlist while you’re preparing dinner. Whatever your style is, you can enjoy music, podcasts, radio, and any audio with a whole-home speaker system. 

But many homeowners are unsure where they’d put speakers in every room for a whole-home audio system. If you’re a minimalist, manufacturer James Loudspeaker has the solution for you. 

James Loudspeaker offers sleek in-wall and in-ceiling speakers alongside some unique disguised speaker options. So when guests visit your house, they’ll have no idea where that beautiful music is coming from!

Sync & Listen to Music in Every Area of Your Home 

How do you listen to music today? Maybe you use a portable Bluetooth speaker or voice-activated device that connects to music streaming. Or perhaps you have a turntable system with a pair of loudspeakers on either side of the record player. 

Whichever method you use, that can only fill one room at a time with music. Some people try to spread music by blasting their speaker’s volume, which is incredibly unpleasant for anyone standing close to the speaker and leads to poor quality sound. But there’s a better way to enjoy music, podcasts, and audiobooks at home: a whole-home audio system. 

Whole home audio works by connecting speakers to play in unison across your house. And with weatherproof speakers in the lawn, you can extend multi-room listening outdoors, too. 

How does it work—and what are your options? Here’s how to get started with whole-home audio in your Dallas, TX home. And to learn more about multi-room audio installations, contact Texadia Systems here. 

The Ins & Outs of A Multi-Room Speaker System

Perfect for hosting parties or listening to a podcast while you walk across the house, music enjoyment is now possible in every area.
