I am looking to integrate the SB into an existing home distributed A/V system. It is a Niles system with 5 zones. Speaker cables all go back to the a/v closet. There are no local inputs in the different zones (like the Russound system can do with the Abus local source inputs). There are also no stand alone recievers in different rooms. Ethernet and Wireless capabilty is good every where so that is not an issue.
I would like to be able to have different music streaming to different zones at the same time. I would like to do at least two different simutaneous streams. This is the solution I have come up with, but it seems hardly ideal: Install 2 SBs in the A/V closet ( called for example, Main-SB1 and Main-SB2). These would be on different audio inputs on the Niles reciever. In each zone I would have a SB (or at least two or three wireless ones that could be moved around, as needed). To listen to one stream in the kitchen I would synch the kitchen SB to Main-SB1 and select the appropriate audio source on the Niles local keypad; at the same time if someone wanted to listen to a separate stream in the media room, that SB would be synched to the Main-SB2 and they would select the appropriate audio source on the Niles keypad. I think it would work, but the downsides are: a lot of SBs, and possible confusion as to who is listening to which stream in which zone. I suppose one could be fixed (like ktichen always synched to Main-SB1) and the other the 'floater'...still not ideal. If anyone has another solution or ideas I'd greatly appreicate it. Thanks.,
