Ask The Booster Boys About Multi Room Audio And Intercoms

What You Need To Know About Intercoms

Today's intercoms put their crackling, ugly predecessors to shame.

What comes to mind when you think of home intercom systems? How about tinny-sounding speakers that are cut into the wall with clunky buttons for paging? Fortunately, those primitive setups have given way to new and much improved intercoms that work with whole-house audio systems. You can have music throughout the house—and locate and call everyone. Once a whole-house audio system is installed, the infrastructure is also in place to provide a whole-house intercom system—and not one that sounds like Charlie Brown’s teacher.

These intercom systems have small microphones in each room and the ability to select individual rooms to page. Our state of the art system lets you page or communicate with someone in any room from in-wall keypads designed to have the same look and feel as the company’s in-wall audio controllers. The light-switch size plate contains a pinpoint microphone and a display, so you can choose to page by room or throughout the house. You simply walk up to the wall keypad, press the PAGE button and talk directly to the person in that room. If music from the whole-house system is playing there, the page automatically suppresses the audio and gives the person up to seven seconds to respond without having to get up and go to a wall plate.

Say you’re in the kitchen, and it’s time for dinner. You page your daughter’s room from the kitchen, and her music is automatically interrupted so she can hear you. She can respond with “In a minute” or “I’ll be down right away” or “Whatever.” Other features allow you to set a “Do not disturb” function so no one wakes up the baby, for example. Or you can set up a “Listen” mode to hear the goings-on in a certain room, such as the kids’ room. (A privacy function prevents you from spying on your teenagers and their friends!) You can add your front doorbell to the intercom system, so when it rings it chimes over the house speakers.

Wiring for an intercom system is very simple and economical during the building stages of a new home. Even if you’re not interested now, by pre-wiring your home you can always have a system installed at a later date. It will also make your home more marketable.

The enjoyment of multi-room audio

Todays smartest trend • Music at your fingertips in any room!

If you are having a home built, this is the perfect time to think about multi-room audio! Not only can multi-room audio increase the value of your home, but it brings enjoyment and value to your life by providing music, in any room, at your fingertips.

Imagine each member of the family being able to listen to the music of their choice or enjoy the home theatre system, all at the same time, without having shelves and shelves of obtrusive stereo equipment in each room! Flush mount or hidden speakers, wall mounted audio equipment, central control panels, touchscreens, keypads, remote conrols, and low profile equipment all combine to add convenience, comfort, and style to your new home. And let's face it: no matter how expensive or high-end your audio equipment is, it always looks a bit foreign amongst your home furnishings.

Any remodel or construction event can be a good time to consider adding mutli-room audio:

• New construction
• Remodeling one or more rooms
• Automating your home
• And more!
