Hi, everyone, just want to let you know this is my first post.
So currently I am having a new home built and need some questions answered on where to go because I'm clueless. I am getting my house prewired (2 speakers and volume control) in the master bedroom, den, flex room, 3 bedrooms. I did some research on the Lync 6 system from HTD and was wondering where and what types of wires I need to home run to the basement where all my equipment will be placed. In the master there will be 1 TV, loft will have 1 TV with 5.1 surround sound system and the family room will have 1 TV with 5.1 system. So my question is how can I have all my speakers (2 speakers plus the 2- 5.1 systems working with the whole-home audio). I also want to know if say in my master bedroom I want to watch cable on the tv, is there any way I can set it up so I can use the 2 speakers for audio from the tv rather than using the TV speakers?
I also am trying to figure out if I can have all A/V equipment in the basement and have video to all the TV's without having individual a/v equipment to each TV? I have been reading about HDMI matrix switches and HDbaseT but am really confused on which one is better and not overly expensive.
Should I run 2 Cat5e, 1 coax with the rooms where the 2 speakers are run to the basement and the same 2 Cat5e and 1 coax from the 5.1 system to the basement?
Any help regarding the equipment I would need for such a setup will be appreciated, I just don't want to see lots of wires running.
I will upload my plans for the house for reference (dunno where I can upload pictures, any help would be great)
Thanks
