Control4 versus Sonos: What’s the Best Multiroom Home Audio System?
A Control4 home audio system gives you the power to listen to incredible sound while watching movies or listening to music, and you can also control your entire integrated home automation system with the tap of a button on a touch panel, smart remote, or your smartphone. You can also listen to different audio sources in various areas of your home—the kids can stream the big game on your outdoor patio speakers while relaxing music is playing throughout your kitchen and dining areas as you finish preparation on all of the game-day snacks.
Many people ask why they should consider Control4 instead of merely adding Sonos speakers for audio throughout their home in a DIY fashion. In this blog, we’ll cover how Control4 provides more value per audio zone within your home, perfect for distributed home audio in your Phoenix, AZ-area home.
