Im in the process of planning a poor mans whole house audio with Squeezebox[es|en] as the main drivers. I also plan to split some of the audio out to a couple of my accessible rooms using Cat-5 audio distribution, likely something like On-Q/Legrand has here: http://tinyurl.com/2l4syn
>From what I understand, this will essentially take my audio source, split it along multiple CAT-5 runs, each to a volume control. The volume control then outputs the sound via standard speaker wire to the speakers. My question is this: Will synchronization amongst other Squeezeboxes in the house work correctly with output from the Squeezebox Receiver feeding the zones? In other words, should I anticipate any audio delay in the path from the Squeezebox through the CAT-5 controller to the various speakers? This is pretty important, since I plan to have my dining room be fed either by a Squeezebox 3 or a Squeezebox Receiver fed into a small shelf stereo, and the surrounding rooms (kitchen and living room) will be two zones fed by the original Squeezebox Receiver. If there is much of a delay at all, I would imagine that it would create the annoying echo effect. Any thoughts on this proposed set up? Just to be clear, here is what Im planning: Squeezebox Receiver -> Denon Receiver* -> On-Q Distribution Module -> Cat 5 to Four Zones -> Volume Controls -> Speakers The zones in question are this: Kitchen, Living Room, Bathroom, Outside Deck * Note that Im undecided whether or not to put my Denon in the mix here. I would like to include it so I can easily output AM and FM radio to the 4 zones, as well as possibly whats playing on the TV in the basement theater. The other two pieces would be this: Squeezebox Receiver (or SB3) wireless -> Shelf stereo -> Dining room (as mentioned, between the kitchen and living room) Squeezebox Receiver (or SB3) wireless -> Clock Radio -> Bedroom Thanks! -- spedinfargo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ spedinfargo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45111
