Connect All Your Indoor & Outdoor Speakers to One Sophisticated System

Here’s an experiment to try at home. Next time you’re preparing dinner, whether that’s in the kitchen or at the grill, put on some feel-good music at a comfortable volume. You’ll likely notice your family’s mood brighten, and they might linger nearby longer, talking and possibly laughing together.

Music always has the power to lift our spirits. Whether your Gallatin, TN, household listens to Fleetwood Mac or The Weeknd (or both), there’s no better way to enjoy music and podcasts than over a multi-room speaker system. And to easily group and control your speakers, a Control4 smart home controller unites them all.

Control4 is one of the leading smart home systems worldwide and can automate everything from lighting to heating and cooling. In this blog, we’ll highlight how to use Control4 for whole-home audio systems.

Connect Your Speakers & Group Into Zones

Imagine the same song playing across your entire Tennessee home—just like a restaurant or bar’s sound system. With Control4, we’ll wire your high-end speakers to the same smart home hub, so you can adjust the volume, skip tracks, and choose the perfect playlist for every room—and outdoors too!

If you’re new to whole-home audio, it’s time to get creative. Do you want to install hidden in-wall or in-ceiling speakers? Weatherproof outdoor speakers by the patio or pool? And a subwoofer to deliver rumbling bass notes? We’ll program them all so you can select “Living Room” or “Patio” to play music there instantly.

Control Via Dedicated Keypads, Wall Panels, or Smartphone

Control4 manufactures custom wall keypads with buttons that can connect directly to your sound system. In the same switch you’d use to control smart lights, you can turn on music or lower the volume.

Some homeowners use touchscreens mounted on the wall to select audio zones and choose music. Pick up your smartphone, select a music station, then carry on with your day. Alternatively, use your voice assistant to control audio wherever a smart speaker is nearby.

Listen to the TV in Any Room

Music and podcast streaming aren’t the only things you can listen to over your speaker system. Your TV can be connected to Control4 as a media source, so you can still hear what’s on screen even as you walk away. Whether it’s game day or movie night, you and your guests will always be within earshot, even if you leave the theater or living room for a drink refill in the kitchen.

Create an Instant Party Setting

Ready to set the mood for some fun? Custom Control4 smart scenes make it easy to transform your home’s ambiance in one command. A “Music” setting can automatically turn speakers on, dim the lights 30 percent, and adjust the lighting to nightlife colors. Outside, music can connect to patio lights, pool jets, and more, making it easier to set the scene when friends visit.
