Control Multiple Zones with Ease

Audio systems can sometimes be complicated. You don't want to remember what is Zone 1, 2, or 3. With Control4, you have all the power of the company's expertise with customized smart home control. Every room will be clearly labeled with its location, like Master Bedroom, Patio, and Living Room. With Control4’s latest software, OS 3, managing media is simpler than ever. You can start playing music by choosing a source like a Pandora station or Spotify playlist. You can set the volume you want for the room in which you start playing.

Now, do you want to make it play in other zones as you do things around the house? With Control4’s new media sharing features, you will see a list of different zones that you can check to synchronize playback - and set the volume individually for each one as well. It's so intuitive; anyone can pick it up.

Seeing is believing, so one of the best ways to see how easy it is to use Control4 audio zones is by watching this video below.

All Your Audio, Anywhere and Everywhere

One of the best things about Control4 multiroom audio is its flexibility. Do you have a curated vinyl collection from many decades of listening? You can listen to those records anywhere. Just plug your turntable into your system and select it as a source through the Control4 app on your smart device or a dedicated Control4 touch screen or remote. You will have to change the record and flip it, however.

Of course, modern digital sources will provide hours of music, and control is effortless. Control4 features popular music services like Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, and more. You can also link your digital library of MP3 music or your iTunes music into the system and access it through the same simple interface. With the latest OS 3 update, high-resolution music is also supported, so you can stream hi-res MQA format tracks through Tidal or play downloads from sources like HDTracks.

It's not all about music either. Do you like to listen to the news that may be playing on cable or streaming? You can play the video in one room but continue listening without missing the latest as you move about the house. Below, take a look at how Control4 media session functionality makes it easy:

 

The best thing about Control4 multiroom audio is that it's more than whole-home audio - it's the foundation of a total smart home automation system. You can start with audio, and add other smart home features like lighting, climate, motorized shading, and security.
