If you’re in the music industry, or just a fan of music in general, chances are, you’ve probably heard of multi-room speaker systems. Just like the stereo systems, boom boxes and record players that preceded it, multi-room music systems are designed to broadcast music for your enjoyment but they do so in a much more technologically advanced way.

For starters, multi room music systems are, as their name suggests, conducive to multi room playing. What this means is that you’ll never have to miss your favorite song again because multi room audio systems are designed to equip any and every room in your home with on-demand music entertainment. You can simply place a speaker in any room you’d like to hear music, and play the songs you’d like to hear in every room with a speaker. This of course, would be a real plus for parties, but is also truly useful and welcome on a day-to-day basis. In fact, you can even purchase a multi room music system that will actually play different songs at the same time, in separate rooms of your choosing!

In our society, it is no secret that we revel in and celebrate the onset of innovation within technology. That mentality is universal within the music industry as well. As a music professional or enthusiast, it isn’t at all difficult to appreciate the progress that has been made with music players. Today multi-room speaker systems are the most technically advanced home audio systems available - and they sound better than ever!

If you’re ready to experience a whole new dimension of audio enjoyment, then you’re ready to own your own multi-room music system. Here are some tips and tricks for purchasing the best option possible!

-Know your budget

There are many multi-room speaker systems available, for example the one from HEOS by Denon, and the price for any quality setup can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Knowing your price range upfront will help you navigate the market and get to your best option quicker.

-Do your research

As a music lover, you’re most likely already acquainted with speaker and stereo components like tweeters, subwoofers and amplifiers. What mix of these components however, will get you the best sound? Would you settle for any system without Class D amplifiers? Are multiple mid woofers on your wish list? Or do you think you’d be okay with just one? Listing your preferences ahead of time will easily narrow your search!

-Check out your space

Don’t make the mistake of purchasing an audio system without planning its destination in your home. As we all remember from the stereo days of the nineties, a home music player will need its own space. Luckily, we no longer have to settle for the ginormous eyesores of the past, but still, multi-room music systems will require a place in your home. Where will you put your speakers? How much room and what size will that space accommodate? What’s your décor like? There’s no sense in getting a black audio system if your room is furnished in white.

By following this simple guideline, purchasing a multi-room speaker system that fits your budget, requirements and home will be a breeze. Welcome, music lovers, to the future!
