Distributed Audio

Music follows you. Room to room.

Same source, same volume, no app-juggling. Whole-home audio designed around how you actually move through your house — kitchen, patio, primary bedroom, and the spaces in between.

Why distributed audio

Built into the house. Not stacked on a shelf.

A great home audio system disappears. No visible speakers on a stand, no cables draped across the baseboard, no “which app is the kitchen on” moment when guests arrive. Speakers in the ceiling. Amplifiers in a closet. One interface that just works.

We design for the way music actually lives in a home — lower volume in bedrooms, more headroom on the patio, the same playlist following you from the coffee maker to the back deck.

  • One source, every zone. AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect — or all three at once in different rooms.
  • Per-zone control. Adjust kitchen volume from your phone without changing what's playing on the patio.
  • Built-in, not bolted-on. In-ceiling and in-wall speakers tuned to the room. Outdoor speakers that survive a Texas summer.
  • Future-proof wiring. Speaker runs are pulled to a central rack — upgrade the amp in five years, keep the speakers.
  • Plays nicely with your smart home. “Good morning” routine starts the kitchen at 30%. Movie scene mutes everything but the theater.
What we install

Zones, sources, and the gear that ties them together.

In-ceiling speakers

Sonance, James Loudspeaker, and Origin Acoustics for most installs. Round or square grilles, paintable, flush to drywall. Tuned per room — bath, kitchen, and great-room each get different drivers.

In-wall & bookshelf

For media rooms, offices, and front rooms where ceiling height doesn't work. James SA-series for slim openings, Sonos Era 300 for shelf placement, full Atmos-capable options for media spaces.

Outdoor & landscape

Sonance Landscape Series satellites and buried subs, or rock speakers along the pool deck. Hidden, weather-sealed, and loud enough to compete with the cicadas.

Matrix amplifiers

For homes with 6+ zones we run a rack-mounted matrix amp — Russound, Sonance Sonamp, or NAD CI — so any source can play to any room. Replaces a wall of separate amplifiers.

Streaming & sources

Sonos for most homes. Bluesound when hi-res streaming matters. WiiM for budget-conscious zones. AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect on every endpoint — no proprietary lock-in.

Keypads & touch control

Wall keypads by the door for quick volume + source. Touch panels in the kitchen for full control. Or just your phone — whatever fits how the household actually uses it.

A typical layout

The zones most homes end up with.

You don't need speakers in every room. We help you pick the zones that actually get used, then leave wiring stubbed for the ones that might come later.

Kitchen & great room
Primary suite
Patio & outdoor
Office / home gym
Pool & spa
Guest rooms
Media / theater
Garage / shop
System tiers

Start with the rooms that matter most.

We design the wiring once, then add zones over time. Same hub, same app, more rooms as you want them.

Starter

A few key spaces — kitchen, primary bedroom, patio.

  • 3–4 audio zones
  • Sonos or WiiM streaming endpoints
  • Paintable in-ceiling speakers
  • App control + AirPlay / Spotify
Estate

Matrix-distributed audio across every zone, integrated with the rest of the house.

  • 10+ zones, fully matrixed
  • Russound or Sonamp rack-mount matrix
  • James Loudspeaker reference rooms
  • Touch panels + Control4 / Home Assistant tie-in
How we work

Walk the house. Listen first. Then design.

1

Listen

Where does music actually play in your house today? What gets used, what doesn't, what frustrates you. We build around that.

2

Design

Zone map, speaker placement, amplifier sizing, source plan. You see it on paper before a hole gets cut.

3

Install

Clean speaker cuts, hidden cable runs, neat rack work. Drywall patched, painted grilles, no exposed wire.

4

Tune

Per-room EQ, volume curves, group presets. Then we come back after a week and tune again with how you actually use it.

Pairs with our Structured Wiring, Home Theater, and Smart Home systems.

Let's wire your home for sound.

Tell us how you listen. We'll design a system that disappears into the house.
