I am buildling my own house and am now at the low voltage stage which I am doing myself. I have a number of questions. I have read lots and lots and my brain hurts but I want to check a few things.
my plan with respect to audio is to have a multizone multisource system. I expect to want to be able to play 5 to 6 sources at max at a time probably off a central server, and send to up to 11 or 12 different zones, most likely independent songs in upto 5 or 6 zones at any one time.
My plan is to probably put a russo amp in the wiring closet and from there run 2 wire 14 gauge speaker wire to each of the speakers. I know I require the media server, and playback equipment as well and that will be connected to the amp.
I will be using android equipped tablets with poe injectors at various locations around the house as well as I want to be able to use my android based phones, or portable tablets.
If I do this will I be able to control volume, audio etc from any and all of the android based tablets to each zone independently (i.e. loud in one room, quiet in another). I do not want to put independent volume controls in addition to the wall mounted tablets. Does anything I mentioned pose any problems, or am I missing something. I have not specd out my speakers, amps, etc at this point. Right now I am more interested in making sure I have the proper wiring in place and I can spec out my materials later.
I want to keep this as home brew as possible and do not want any commercial solutions that I cannot change. I will also be put in home automation, security, and cameras, and may want to read data from i/o sensor connected to a server or other computer.
Please advise.
Thanks and I apologize for the newbie questions but gotta start somewhere.
