According to varying studies, the average American spends about three hours watching TV and almost four hours listening to music daily. That comes out to nearly half of our waking hours engaged in listening to some form of audio.

For audiophiles, some of this time may be spent in designated listening rooms with high-fidelity speakers immersing them in the best sound reproduction available. For many, its music streamed from their smartphones, laptops, and portable Bluetooth speakers. One survey found that only 8% of the 34,000 respondents listened to music on hi-fi equipment or turntables.

If you’re a music lover or podcast connoisseur, is it time to take your home audio to the next level? Headphones may be handy, but they can prevent you from listening and speaking with family and friends. And whether you own wired or wireless headphones, tangled wires and battery charges can be a nuisance.

Maybe you listen to music out loud on a Bluetooth speaker or record player system. But when you walk away from the speaker into another room, music falls out of earshot, and you can’t hear anymore. Likewise, when hosting get-togethers, a set of speakers in only one room likely won’t reach all your guests.

Thankfully, there’s another approach. Whole-home audio involves using a series of speakers across your home (and outdoors!) that play in unison. Whether you’re listening to the radio, streaming playlists, or playing records, you can enjoy all media through every room.

If that sounds complicated to install on your own, an audio-visual company like Video General is here to help. Learn how multi-room audio works and will benefit your Southlake, TX home below!
