Whole house audio system
« on: 14 Nov 2004, 11:38 am »
Where do I begin to find info on wiring a new house for audio.  I am interested in conecting many rooms to a central system or server.  It can be system based or computer based.  This would be a new construction home and probably installed DIY.

Thanks,

JLM

Pass and Seymour has CAT5 based multi-room audio system that can also try into a whole house low voltage network center (box).  You can have all telephone, computer, intercom, security, television, and audio fed through the box.  Fulton Electronics in Lansing/Jackson sells bundled low voltage wiring (2 CAT5 plus 2 RG6) for $0.39 per foot (half the price if bought separate and less hassle) in any quantity.  (RG6 is HDTV ready.)

Much of this is going wireless.  I'm also building a house and don't know what to do.

Thanks JLM,
I have to find out what he wants to inlclude in the wiring (phone, computer, music, etc) or if he wants to go wireless.  And how many rooms he wants to do.
