Daniel walks every project. Call (913) 804-7575.

What\'s different about how we design whole-house audio

  • Architecture, not just speakers. Matrix amplifier (Crestron Sonnex, Control4 Triad, NAD CI 980) routing multiple sources to multiple zones with independent volume + EQ + source per zone. The kid\'s playlist in their bedroom + your kitchen music + the patio + the football game in the great room — all simultaneously, all on their own zone.
  • Right speaker for each room. Most KC luxury homes mix three speaker types: in-ceiling in the bulk of zones, Sonance Invisible Series where the design intent is "no visible electronics," Coastal Source for outdoor zones. One trade, one warranty, one install.
  • Lighting + scene integration. Audio is a first-class output of the scene system. "Goodnight" silences every zone except the primary suite + lowers it to 20%. "Movie" dims theater lights + ramps up Atmos. "Wake" plays NPR at 6am.
  • Room-by-room calibration. Each zone tuned for the actual room geometry + speaker placement. Standard install includes 2-3 days of post-finish tuning, not a "set it and forget it" handoff.

Common questions

How much does whole-house audio cost in Kansas City?

An 8-zone whole-house system (typical 5,000-7,000 sqft home — kitchen + great room + primary suite + 2 bedrooms + 2 baths + patio) with Sonance in-ceiling speakers + matrix amplifier + Sonos source routing runs $14,000-$32,000. A 12-16 zone system with mixed in-ceiling + invisible (Sonance IS) + outdoor (Coastal Source) speakers + Control4 / Crestron integration runs $35,000-$85,000. Estate-scale 18-24 zones with reference speakers (Wisdom Audio LS3 in the listening room, Sonance Cinema in the theater, Coastal Source in the landscape, mixed in-ceiling everywhere else) runs $95,000-$235,000.

What's the difference between whole-house audio and Sonos?

Sonos is a great source layer — a 1-2 zone setup with Sonos Amp + 2-4 in-ceiling speakers works for a small home. Whole-house audio is the architecture above that: a matrix amplifier (Crestron Sonnex, Control4 Triad, NAD CI 980) routing multiple sources (Sonos, Tidal, Spotify, vinyl, TV audio, microphones) to multiple zones with independent volume + EQ + source per zone. Whole-house lets the kid play their playlist in their bedroom while you play different music in the kitchen, with a third source on the patio + audio from the football game in the great room. Sonos alone tops out at ~6 zones before getting expensive + tangled; whole-house is right for 8+.

Do you do invisible speakers + outdoor speakers as part of whole-house audio?

Yes — most KC luxury whole-house installs mix three speaker types: (1) in-ceiling speakers in the bulk of zones, (2) Sonance Invisible Series (IS) speakers in the great room + primary suite where the design intent is "no visible electronics," (3) Coastal Source bollard / in-ground / planter speakers for outdoor zones. We're an authorized Sonance + Wisdom Audio + Coastal Source dealer; the single-trade model means one design + one install + one warranty across all speaker tiers.

Can it integrate with Lutron HomeWorks lighting scenes?

Yes — lighting integration is the move that turns whole-house audio from "music in every room" into "rooms that respond to how I live." Lutron HomeWorks scene presses can trigger audio: "Movie Night" dims theater lights AND ramps up Atmos surround. "Goodnight" silences every zone except the primary suite + lowers the audio there to 20%. "Wake" wakes the primary suite zone at 6am with NPR. Same pattern works with Control4 + Crestron scenes; the audio is a first-class output of the scene system, not an afterthought.

How long does a whole-house audio install take in Kansas City?

8-zone install in an existing home: 3-5 days of on-site work (1 electrician + 1 programmer). 12-16 zones with concealed cabling in finished walls: 8-14 days (more patching labor). New construction whole-house (rough-in during framing, finish + commissioning at trim): 3-5 weeks across multiple GC phases. Programming + room-by-room calibration happens in the last 2-3 days regardless of scale.
