Music througho ut my house

[watertight]

Guys,

Wonder if you might be able to offer me some advice as to which products will suit my needs.

I would like to have music piped through my house, for example when I am in the bathroom have music played from a central amplifier to that specific room. I have no problems in wiring up such a system however I am stuck on what equipement I will need to allow me to do it, for example do I need some form of selector box that will allow me to turn music on and off in the desired room? If so am I able to get one that is remote controlled or are they generally manual (like the old scart switching boxes).

If so can any of you point me in the right direction as to what I should be looking for.

Hope it makes sense, if you require any further information just let me know.

Google cloud mixer/amp.

They do 4 zone mixer/amps with remote controls wired back to the amp. The remote have source select and volume on it.

We fit these in pubs to allow different zoning in different areas. Have also fitted several to large houses.

JBL ceiling speakers complement them well.

They do a mixer/amp combo, or you can just get the mixer part and use different amps (one per zone).
