I have a vacation house that happened to come with a whole-house audio system (Russound). I would never have done it that way but since it was already there I added a sbr that essentially functions as another audio-in (it sits in the cabinet along with a bunch of ridiculously over-priced components--the 6-zone amp, cd changer (never used), tuner (never-used), power conditioner). The controller works just fine. It is a bit counter-intuitive though since the controller can't control (no fault of the controller!) the on/off, audio-in or individual volume of each zone; there are proprietary in-wall units that do that. In actual practice what happens is that the in-wall units are all set to the squeezeebox as the default audio-in. People will turn on the music in a given room/zone using the wall unit and then use the controller to select music. Seems to work, quests think its cool.
(I should note that I was already an sb devotee and have internalized all of the sb quirks. It was/is great to be able to get my rhapsody library, pandora stations, access to mp3 tunes locker in the second house. It's also mildly amusing to be able to change music remotely when guests are staying at the house!) -- cshaida boom sb3 + Rockit5s (powered) speakers sb3 + AudioEngine 2s (powered) speakers sb2 + Sony receiver + klipsch bookshelf speakers sb3 + Sonic TAmp + Cambridge SW speakers sb3 + m:Audios (powered) speakers (decommissioned auditron w/ late, lamented 'knob') ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cshaida's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1981 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58449 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
