Multi-Zone Audio

One of the most valuable benefits of the integrated home is the opportunity to enjoy multi room audio. Multi room audio systems enable home owners to listen to their favorite audio everywhere around the house and also in the garden. A multi room audio system can deliver music from one central source (media server) or from distributed sources (such as iPods that can feed music in various rooms). Since each person in the house is going to have his or her own tastes and preferences, a multi room audio system will be able to deliver different sources simultaneously to different rooms. Conversely, when you're entertaining or just as you're moving around your house, you might want your system to be playing the same synchronized source to every zone in the house. The following are the benefits of the Multi-Room audio system such as the HiFi by HAI system:

• Very easy to use. The Volume-Source Control (VSC) has a routed IR repeater. The main unit is mounted on a closet wall for a neat professional installation.
• Enjoy Music Anywhere In The House. Instead of taking sources from the audio rack, this is designed to take sources from all over the home such as a PC in the office, a TV in the kitchen, iPods etc. All the sources can be scattered around the house as they normally would be, but you can enjoy them anywhere in the house where you have a keypad and speaker.
• Affordable high fidelity performance. It has three times more power than "amplified keypad" systems at similar cost. In addition to this power, there are two variable outputs (Zones 1 and 8) for connections to external power amplifiers and a page/mute input.
• Plug and Play with HAI's Omni home control systems. The Hi-Fi system can be controlled by the user through the Omni Touch touchscreen or through automation programming. The home control system can select the source and set the volume for each zone to coordinate the audio system with your activities.
