Wired vs. Wireless

It’s an age-old debate – or at least it’s been going on since Sonos made a splash on the wireless music scene almost 20 years ago: should your multi-room music system be hardwired or wireless? Conventional wisdom has always said “wired,” but new advancements in wireless audio make it a tougher choice.

Those advancements? Sonos Trueplay and Bowers and Wilkins Formation Suite. The former's software allows your Sonos system to sound great in every room, thanks to digital, automatic calibration. The latter offers high-end, high-res playback over an independent mesh network.

If you're planning to connect to a more extensive whole-home automation system, hardwired is the way to go. But if you're looking for an entry-level music system for streaming throughout your property, your options have never been better.

Organizing Your Collection

Organizing a physical media collection can be a fun way to spend an afternoon, especially if you're one for order over chaos. But dealing with an unwieldy digital collection can be a hassle. Of course, technology presses forward, and toward more and more digital playback, so you'll need a way to organize and play your favorite tracks.

Roon does just that. It automatically organizes your collection and adds valuable information pulled from the internet. If you have multiple versions of the same track, it’ll choose the superior format. And it even integrates with popular smart home systems like Control4. Organizing your collection has never been easier.

Outdoor Entertainment

There’s no better time to expand your system to your outdoor space than right now. The Sonos Move makes your music portable, and you’d be surprised at the other ways you can enjoy your Sonos system in your backyard. Plus, you can install high-end speakers like Origin Acoustics’ Bollard line for stunning audio playback outside.

And you can also enjoy incredible outdoor video with a TV installation. Seura offers an ultra-bright 4K experience. The 1000-nit display is easy to see in sunlight and will provide hours of entertainment for you and your family. Combining a robust audio system and the staggering beauty of 4K, you'll want to make every night an outdoor movie night.
