About Multi Room Audio products

ArchiPro has selected trusted suppliers in Australia to bring together a carefully curated catalogue of the highest quality home audio systems. As well as sourcing high-quality soundbars, speakers and amplifiers, ArchiPro features multi room speaker systems that will keep your music in sync as you move around the home.

Multi room audio allows you to listen to your favourite music, podcast or broadcast in multiple rooms. You may choose to have one set of audio running in some rooms and another in others, or you can have the same audio playing in all rooms of the house at the same time. You have various options to achieve the best sound quality throughout all your rooms, including Sonos multi-room audio systems and high-quality speakers. ArchiPro’s range covers products for both sourced from trusted suppliers across Australia.

The advantages of high-quality multi room audio

Lower quality speakers can only play within a set range, and can’t play particularly low or high pitched sounds. You’ll have noticed that your phone or tablet speakers often produce sound that is flatter compared to headphones or speakers. This is due to the lack of an amplifier and the small size of the speakers.

Higher quality home audio systems have a higher quality of multi room speakers, resulting in better sound. In addition to this, the connections between the speakers and the amplifier, whether they are wired or wireless, will have more resistance to interference, which may cause static or lack of quality. Higher quality multi room audio systems may also have specialist multi room amplifiers, which are designed to coordinate music across different rooms. Multi room audio solutions can include dedicated amplifiers and speakers configured for separate rooms, depending on the layout and connection method.

How to choose a multi room audio system that’s right for you

Multi room audio can either play the same music everywhere in the house, or different music in different parts of the house. If it’s just you using the system, it’s likely that you’ll only ever want to play the same music, and so a more expensive multi-zone audio system is not likely to be necessary. A multi room audio controller can manage zones from a central interface, while the system determines whether each room plays the same or different content. For some layouts, a multiroom av system uses a network AV receiver to direct audio to speakers in separate zones.

On the other hand, if you and your partner like to listen to different music, it can be handy to see both audio systems on the same app. As well as allowing different people to listen to different audio, this also enables you to turn down the music in another room when you need to be heard. A multi room audio visual system can also bring sound and picture together in rooms used for television and film.

If you're looking for alternative speaker options, you have a variety to choose from, such as floor-standing speakers that provide versatile placement, home theatre systems for a cinematic audio experience, soundbars to elevate your TV's sound quality, or subwoofers to deliver impressive bass.

How many rooms can be connected in a multi room speaker system?

Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of rooms that can be connected in a multi room speaker system. However, larger numbers of speakers can require sub-amplifiers or signal boosters to maintain the quality of audio. Another factor is impedance, which is a problem when multiple pieces of audio equipment are working together. Impedance is a complicated issue, and it’s best to talk to a professional if you want to network a large number of speakers together.

Can you have different volumes in different rooms with a multi room amplifier?

Yes, you can, though you might require the use of an app or a sub-amplifier.

How do I choose the right size multi room speakers for my room?

This depends on the size of your room. Most speakers are between 50-150 watts, but you’ll want stronger speakers in larger rooms.
