Music players may be kept
right next to the Controller and plugged directly into its audio
inputs. However the Ennovah multi-room audio systems also allow any remotely located music
source to be brought into the Controller via one pair (mono) or two
pairs (stereo) of wires out of the premise phone wiring or with a
dedicated cable instead. Both audio sourcing equipments may so be
located anywhere in the home: media room, bedroom, utility room,
computer desk, home theater room, etc.
Therefore the location to
place the music player for whole house multi-room music conveniently remains at the owner's
discretion. For instance the Telephone-CD-Radio appliance may be
placed in the master bedroom (or elsewhere) inside the home quarters
while the Radio-Cassette-CD player may placed near the Controller in
the utility room (or elsewhere). From any home phone set the user is
able turn on the whole house multi-room music, switch the music from one
multi-room
player to the other, or stop the whole house multi-room music altogether.
Naturally,
at the equipments (or from their remotes) he or she may directly
switch the sources contained within the player itself, to provide an
even greater selection of multi-room music to choose from.
In addition to whole house
music, these multi-room music distribution systems offer the outstanding capability for every
household member, in any number, to play in their private quarters
or bedrooms the music of their choice at background level or
entertainment level instead of the whole house multi-room music.
In-Wall Speakers with Mural Pads and Desktop Speakers with built-in local ports, will play music from any iPod, MP3 player or other
conventional mini player with an audio output.
Volume is adjusted with the player. These multi-room audio/music systems are capable
enough to momentarily disconnect the local source when a whole house
voice page or a selective voice page is in effect. There lies the
great benefit of integrating local players in private areas with the
overall system. Keep in mind that somebody playing independent music at entertainment
level in his/her private quarter may virtually be out of reach for
communication purposes! The system will momentarily break the music
for announcements or communication requests to be broadcast. Mini players like iPod and MP3's may not
directly be used as is as whole house music sources but only
as local sources.
