Whether you are in an existing home or building a new home, we offer affordable, feature-rich whole-house audio systems you can install yourself. In many cases, how your cables can be run will determine your whole-house audio options.

  • Options 1 & 2 - for those who have the flexibility of installing new cabling.
  • Options 3 & 4 - for those who can only use existing speaker cable.


Are you building a new home or are speaker cables AND Cat 5 (or higher) cables already run to a central location? (or cables can easily be installed)
