Pre-wiring for multiroom audio systems isn’t as common as it used to be. The retrofit dilemma has led to flexible new solutions such as those that employ homes’ existing electrical infrastructure, like NuVo Technologies’ powerline-based Renovia System that recently went into four zones of my house. Features Renovia can distribute six sources up to eight zones.

Over the past 10 years, NuVo Technologies has carved a value-oriented niche in the multiroom audio category. The company’s Grand Concerto, Essentia and Simplese multiroom audio systems offer CE pros some bang for the buck, ranging in some iterations between $1,000 and $5,000 excluding loudspeakers.

Many of those old-school integrators have since changed their minds, and NuVo’s wounds have definitely healed. As the world slowly shakes off the recession, the… View this story
