[Coworking] DIY multi-zone audio for playing music?

[Alex Hillman]

Hey gang!

I'm currently doing my homework on multi-zone audio for the system that
plays music throughout Indy Hall, since we're moving into a new space next
month (!!!).

As with most technology, audio is a game of "easy to over-engineer" and I'm
wondering if anyone has come up with a simple setup that they love.

Basic requirements in my mind:

1 - single audio source (in our case, we run a mac mini)
2 - minimum 5 "zones" each with with independent volume control
3 - the ability to put those volume controls in the zone itself, near the
speakers it controls

It does NOT need to be wireless.
It does NOT need to be network enabled.
It does NOT need to be "state of the art."

It DOES need to cost less than the same setup powered by Sonos :)
It DOES need to be simple enough for someone who isn't trained in the
system to walk over to a knob and turn down the volume.

Suggestions? What research have you done? What have you tried? What DOESN'T
work?

Thanks!

-Alex

Re: [Coworking] Introducing Coffice and Chiostrino Artificio, coworking in Italy

[Tony Bacigalupo]

Aw man, I missed you in Como last fall! The fact that you're there now
makes Como that much more accessible a destination for digital nomads.

I got to visit one of your spaces in Milan, though, and really enjoyed what
you had going. Congrats on the expansion!

Best,
Tony

Hey Mahmood,

We've done some of our own 3-rd party qualitative research that answers
some of your questions, and definitely provides some counterintuitive

Re: [Coworking] Introducing Myself

[gaurav]

Hey Tony,

Still exploring as per the industry metrics but major focus is over ease of 
efforts from customer's point of view. Our customers often like processes 
which are simpler and effort less from their perspective. We can connect 
personally to have an in depth conversations occasionally also to make 
things better for each other.
