What Is a Multi-Room Audio Setup?

In today’s world, multi-room audio is coming in trend and are becoming very much popular. It’s nothing but the ability to play the same audio source in a synchronized way on speakers that are present in different rooms. It lets you perfectly listen to music when you go from room to room to hear the music playing seamlessly. The complete functioning can be controlled from a single controller or application, thereby providing you full command over the music playing in your home.

Earlier, it wasn’t easy to do and required specialized hardware. But after some difficulties, Sonos got success in offering multi-room solutions. After a few years, both Amazon Echo speakers and Google Home speakers added multi-room capabilities on their systems as well.
