Systems

Whole-Home Audio

Sonos and architectural speakers through the whole house and out to the dock — one app, every room, no visible boxes.

Whole-home audio is the system guests notice first and the one homeowners use every single day. Done properly it is invisible: speakers flush in the ceiling, amplifiers in a closet, and one app that plays the same thing everywhere for a party or something different in every room on a Sunday morning.

You notice it when

  • Music follows you from the kitchen to the deck to the dock without touching anything.
  • Guests connect from their own phones without you handing over a password.
  • The TV, the turntable, and Spotify all come out of the same speakers.

Scope

What a whole-home audio project includes.

Every proposal is written for the specific house. This is the shape of it.

  • Sonos Amp and Port racks, or in-ceiling Sonos Architectural by Sonance
  • In-ceiling and in-wall speakers, painted to disappear into the ceiling
  • Outdoor speakers for decks, docks, patios, and pool areas
  • Subwoofers sized to the room, not to the box they came in
  • Every service you use — Apple Music, Spotify, Sirius, AirPlay 2, vinyl
  • Volume tuned per zone so the kitchen is not deafening at the same setting

Investment

Projects start at $2,400

A four-zone Sonos system with in-ceiling speakers typically runs $6,000 to $15,000 installed. A single deck or dock zone starts around $2,400.

Questions

Whole-Home Audio questions

Something not covered here? Call (267) 719-3598 and ask.

Sonos or something else?

Sonos for almost everyone — the app is the best in the category and it keeps working for a decade. We spec Denon HEOS or a Control4-native amp when there is a specific reason, and we will tell you what that reason is.

Can I put speakers on the dock?

Yes, and we do it often. It takes direct-burial wire, marine-grade or all-weather speakers, and a run planned around the shoreline. Done right it lasts; done with indoor speakers and lamp cord it lasts one season.

Do speakers have to be visible?

No. In-ceiling speakers with pencil-edge grilles get painted to match your ceiling and effectively vanish. Most people cannot find them in a room they have been sitting in for an hour.
