Audio

Audio storage and distribution is one of the most popular and fastest growing areas of home control.

There are two major considerations here:

• How music is stored
• How it is distributed throughout the home

Until recently, most music was stored on CDs and distributed throughout the home using receivers, with speakers and volume controls throughout the home.

Now, music is increasingly stored centrally on a PC or Media Center, and in a digital format. This enables easy indexing and retrieval for all of your music. No more searching for that elusive CD; just a couple of button presses on your remote or mouse clicks and you are listening to the music that matches your mood.

"My Music" (above) within Microsoft Media Center offers an excellent interface to manage your music collection. Select by song, album, artist or genre, or play a pre-defined playlist, all within seconds.

Now to the distribution of music throughout your home: With Capstone Audio Control it’s a snap to manage audio distribution throughout your home. Our system provides instant control of multi-source, multi-room audio.

You’ll be amazed with the flexibility of the system in its ability to play different audio sources in different rooms, all controlled from the Capstone My Home system.

You can even configure simple events to have music come on throughout the house, from pre-determined sources, at desired volume levels for each room. From relaxing classical to the rowdy party, it’s all there for you at the touch of button.
