for different people, at the same time, that is distributed audio.
At the very least, this includes the ability to select and distribute music from an audio source to any room in
the house simultaneously and independently.
Multi-Room Audio FAQ's
Terms to Know:
Multi-Room Audio Distribution
Allows you to listen to one selected source at a time throughout the house. Your own home stereo system is the controller in a multi-room distribution system. Whatever audio sources you have connected to it (such as tuner, CD, tape, DVD, etc.) can be listened to throughout the home simply by selecting that source on your stereo receiver or pre-amp. That signal is then sent to system components where it is amplified and distributed to all the speakers in your home. In-wall volume controls allow you to independently set the listening level in each room. Infrared receivers can be added in multiple locations throughout the house to allow control of source selection from just about anywhere you may happen to be.
Multi-Source/Multi-Zone Audio Distribution
Allows you to listen to different sources in multiple listening areas, or zones, throughout your home. The hub for a multi-source/multi-zone audio distribution system is a pre-amp controller. All of your audio sources are connected to the controller: keypads and LCD touch panels in each zone, allowing you to select any of these sources. The pre-amp controller then routes the source you have selected to the proper zone. Infrared receivers in each zone can complement keypads and touch panels to allow you to control the system from the comfort of your favorite armchair.
User Interface
Devices such as volume control, in-wall keypad and LCD touch panel that allow control (to varying degrees) of your home’s electronic systems. 
System Integration Amplifiers
While traditional power amplifiers work well in traditional "stereo" systems, home theater and multi-room systems require an amplifier to do more than just drive speakers. These systems require a more modern approach, one that offers greater flexibility and performance. Look for amplifiers that deliver exceptional sound quality, tested reliability, and are designed to integrate many different components into a cohesive system. These amplifiers help with common custom installation problems and make exciting new system configurations possible.
Audio Distribution Amplifier
These amplifiers distribute input from a single audio source to multiple audio outputs or destinations.
Infrared Extender Systems
Infrared extender systems control virtually every aspect of an infrared controllable A/V system from any location. These systems are comprised of three fundamental building blocks: IR Keypads/Sensors, IR Main System Units, and IR Flashers.
In-ceiling, in-wall, on-wall and outdoor speakers
Depending on the particular needs of a consumer, as well as the configuration of his/her home, speakers could be installed in ceilings, walls, floor and even outdoors.
