If you are building a new residential or commercial structure or remodeling an existing property, NOW is the time to plan for a Music Distribution System. It's easier than you may expect.
All you need to start with is an existing Hi-Fi Stereo System. If it has at least 50 watts per channel of output power, and provisions for 2 or more pairs of speakers (outputs on the back for "A" and "B" speakers) it should be suitable as the heart of an entire residential or small scale business music system.
Speaker cabinets already exist everywhere in your building. Of course, you have probably been thinking of them as Walls and Ceilings. A typical 8 foot tall wall with 16" stud centers has nearly 3 cubic feet of interior space. That is equivalent to a speaker cabinet 1 foot wide, 1 foot deep and 3 feet tall. Speakers need cabinets to develop bass response, that is why speakers in big cabinets are capable of great bass.
When you buy and install In-Wall Mounted speaker systems you are only paying for the Woofers, Tweeters & Frames. In the case of cabinet speakers, the cabinets make up the bulk of the expense; not only in materials and labor to construct the enclosures but in the excess packing materials, added freight, handling and warehousing expenses that large, heavy items dictate.
The walls & ceilings which make up the building serve as terrific speaker enclosures, at no additional expense and furthermore allow you to place the sound source(s) unobtrusively almost anywhere you wish. In the case of new construction, by planning before the drywall goes up, you can easily provide for stereo music in every room. |
