FAQ ## Audio Questions Everything you need to know about whole-home audio from Smart Systems. ### What's the difference between distributed audio and a soundbar? A soundbar covers one room. Distributed audio puts music in every room of your home with dedicated, properly powered speakers — independently controlled per zone. The sound quality and coverage are incomparable. ### Can I use my existing streaming services? Yes. We integrate Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, and virtually any streaming platform. We also support turntables, CD libraries, and local NAS servers. ### Will I see speakers everywhere? Not unless you want to. Our in-ceiling and in-wall speakers sit flush with the surface and can be painted to match. Many clients don't even notice them. ### How many zones do I need? A typical home has 4–8 zones: kitchen, living room, master bedroom, patio, office, gym, etc. We'll help you decide what makes sense for your space. ### What does a whole-home audio system cost? A 4-zone streaming system starts around $5K–$10K. Full-home systems with 8+ zones, outdoor audio, and hi-fi listening rooms typically range from $15K–$50K+. ### How quickly does Smart Systems respond to a quote request?
