Abstract

Home audio systems are constantly improving and gaining new capabilities with the advent of the Internet of Things. New Multi-Zone Audio Systems, which allow users to wirelessly play music anywhere in a house, are becoming common place. This thesis explores the most commonly available setups and proposes a system designed to empower the user’s control over audio. A prototype for a peer-to-peer audio signal transfer network, as well as a distributed user interface are presented. The development challenges, implementation details as well as performance characteristics are analysed. Finally, the overall design of the Multi-Zone Audio System is assessed while establishing the requirements for the next phase in development.
