The Multi-Room Speaker Solution for Remodels and Retrofits
How Builders, Architects, Designers, and Smart Home Integrators Team Up for Audio Solutions
With homeowners looking to enjoy the many benefits of home automation, builders, architects, and designers are adding another professional to the team—the home automation expert. These professionals work in tandem with the build team, installing the necessary pre-wiring that’s the brains behind many smart home solutions as well as all the equipment and connections that enable smart home devices to connect to the internet and to each other.
By including networking, security, automated lighting, and distributed audio and video, builders stand out from their competitors and enter a field that’s expanding exponentially. In 2022, about 43.8% of houses in the U.S. are expected to be a part of the smart home revolution. By 2026, that figure is projected to rise to 62.7%.
One of the most popular smart home features is a multi-room speaker system. Let’s look at what this system offers and how it can add value to your new and retrofit projects in Lake Winnipesaukee, NH, and southern Maine.

New Builds Versus Retrofits
Working with builders, designers, and architects in the build phase offers the opportunity to accommodate the wiring and design elements. While an ideal situation, remodels and retrofits don’t fit into this category. Fortunately, smart home integrators offer solutions that limit costly tear-outs and redoing drywall while providing builders and homeowners with entertainment solutions that offer unprecedented ease of installation and use.
In the world of smart home audio, one of these solutions is a multi-room speaker system by Sonos.
The Sonos Multi-Room Audio Solution for Retrofits
Unlike distributed audio systems that involve wiring cables through walls and ceilings to the numerous speakers, Sonos offers a high-performance wireless speaker solution. With over 2100 patented innovations, the company has made its mark in best-in-class acoustics from a multi-room wireless system.
Sonos combines custom tweeters, woofers, and proprietary software to create speakers that preserve the artist's intentions and reproduce sound as close to the original piece as possible. In addition, their spatially-aware Trueplay tuning technology allows the speaker’s microphones to determine your room acoustics and adjusts the equalization for the purest listening experience.
Users can listen to their favorite audio entertainment selection, whether music, podcasts, audiobooks, vinyl, or TV. They can listen to one melody throughout their home or tune into different sources in varying rooms. The Sonos App also supports high-resolution audio formats for movies and music.
For outdoor audio solutions, Sonos came up with Move, the first portable, battery-powered Bluetooth speaker in the Sonos system. This speaker projects a wide soundstage while delivering the premium sound associated with Sonos.
