System Overview
How would you like to listen to your favourite music throughout the house? With this multi-room audio system you can!
The system is designed to distribute music to 4 rooms in your house.
We've taken the guess work out of which streamers, amplifiers, speakers and cabling are required and combined them into one simple package. 3 zones are for indoor rooms (living / dining / bedroom / office or kitchen) and 1 zone is for an outdoor alfresco area with a flat ceiling.
Need more than 4 rooms? No problem, because this system is modular and can be expanded up to 64 zones!
The system is comprised of a 4 zone multi-room streamer that uses Bluesound technology. Bluesound gives you access to popular audio streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Deezer or TuneIn Radio, just to name a few.
The streamer will let you play 4 different types of music, in 4 rooms of your home, at different volumes, at the same time! Having a party? You can set the system to play the same music everywhere in the house, at the volume levels you want, all from the convenience of your smart device.
The streamer is the brains of the operation and tells the amplifier what to do. Included in the system is a 4-zone amplifier that will power the speakers in your 4 rooms.
All of the speakers for your indoor rooms are the in-ceiling type and have round white magnetic grills. The speakers blend in seamlessly with your décor and you won't even notice they are there. That is until you turn them on and hear the clarity of the sound!
Ceiling not white? No problem, because the grills are paintable to match the colour of your room.
The speakers for the outdoor alfresco are also in-ceiling but are all-weather speakers that are designed to live outside and deal with the elements of moisture, temperature and humidity. Don't have a flat ceiling in your alfresco? Not a problem, we can substitute the in-ceiling speakers for surface mount ones.
Finally all the cabling required to connect the entire system, is also included.
Note: Please ask us about Professional Installation. We have an in house audio installation team who are available to make sure your system is installed correctly and will set up the app on your smart device for easy system control.

3 Pair of B&W CCM-382 In-Ceiling Speakers
Better in-ceiling speakers like the B&W CCM382 serve very different needs than traditional, freestanding speakers. The CCM382's will serve customers who want very good quality for either multi-room or rear surround sound speakers but at the same time don't require super high-end performance.
Hide the hardware and reveal the true quality of the music. From two-channel hi-fi to multi-room audio and home theatre B&W Custom Installation speakers are capable of delivering sound that is, quite simply, out of sight. Each model in the Series is designed to be installed neatly into wall or ceiling, fitting virtually flush to the surface. The only visible evidence of each speaker is its slimline grille and frame, which can be painted to blend perfectly with your interior style, or even covered with co-ordinating fabric.
So forget cabinets, forget cables and focus all your attention on the pure aesthetics of your living or work space. While B&W Custom Installation speakers are made to disappear from view, they produce a sound that's anything but shy and retiring. Harnessing the same Bowers & Wilkins technologies found in recording studios around the world, the speakers will fill a room with stunningly lifelike, three-dimensional sound. The result is a series that's near invisible to the eye. But infinitely pleasing to the ear.

1 Pair of B&W Marine 8 All Weather In-Ceiling Speakers
When the going gets tough the B&W Marine 8 In-Ceiling Speakers offer peace of mind. Whether it's out on the high seas or just around the pool area at home the Marine 8 speakers are designed to take a soaking, extreme heat and cold, shrug it off and keep offering excellent sound no matter the weather or conditions.
Marine 8 is a two-way loudspeaker with a 25mm (1") tweeter and a 200mm (8") polypropylene mid/bass driver. It boasts an IP66 rating for incredible ruggedness when installed, and although it is the larger of the Marine loudspeakers it fits into a shallow depth of 93mm (3.7") with a cut-out of 249mm (9.8").
Of course, any Bowers & Wilkins speaker must sound brilliant. So these marine speakers were first designed to match exacting sound quality standards, then the necessary toughness to survive the harsh marine environment was added. Both models boast IP66 ratings when properly installed, and the metal grille and all screws are marine-grade stainless steel. The driver chassis uses a non-corroding rigid polymer and the tweeter dome has a rear support to prevent permanent deformation when hosed down.
