Whole-house audio · Kansas City.

Music that follows you, and a different song for the kids. IntegrateIT designs and installs whole-house audio across the Kansas City metro from Overland Park, Kansas: matrix amplification, 8 to 24 zones, Sonance in-ceiling and Invisible Series speakers, Coastal Source outdoors and Wisdom Audio where the room deserves it, integrated with Control4, Crestron or Sonos and with Lutron lighting scenes. Daniel walks every project. Call (913) 804-7575.

What’s different about how we design whole-house audio

Architecture, not just speakers. A matrix amplifier (Crestron Sonnex, Control4 Triad, NAD CI 980) routes multiple sources to multiple zones with independent volume, EQ and source per zone. The kid’s playlist in their bedroom, your kitchen music, the patio and the game in the great room — all at once, each on its own zone.
Right speaker for each room. A KC luxury home typically mixes three speaker types: in-ceiling in the bulk of zones, Sonance Invisible Series where the design intent is "no visible electronics," and Coastal Source for outdoor zones. One trade, one warranty, one install.
Lighting and scene integration. Audio is a first-class output of the scene system. "Goodnight" silences every zone except the primary suite and lowers it there. "Movie" dims theater lights and ramps up Atmos. "Wake" plays NPR at 6am.
Room-by-room calibration. Each zone tuned for the actual room geometry and speaker placement — a post-finish tuning pass, not a "set it and forget it" handoff.

Common questions

How much does whole-house audio cost in Kansas City?

It depends on zone count, the speaker tier — in-ceiling, architectural or invisible — and the sources and control you want. Eight zones on Sonos is a different project from twenty-four zones with a reference listening room. A no-cost site walk produces a fixed price, not a range by email.

What’s the difference between whole-house audio and Sonos?

Sonos is a great source layer — a one- or two-zone setup with a Sonos Amp and a few in-ceiling speakers works for a small home. Whole-house audio is the architecture above that: a matrix amplifier (Crestron Sonnex, Control4 Triad, NAD CI 980) routing multiple sources (Sonos, Tidal, Spotify, vinyl, TV audio, microphones) to multiple zones with independent volume, EQ and source per zone. Whole-house lets the kid play their playlist in their bedroom while you play different music in the kitchen, with a third source on the patio and the game on in the great room. Sonos alone gets expensive and tangled past about six zones; whole-house is right from eight zones up.

Do you do invisible speakers and outdoor speakers as part of whole-house audio?

Yes — most KC luxury whole-house installs mix three speaker types: in-ceiling speakers in the bulk of zones, Sonance Invisible Series speakers in the great room and primary suite where the design intent is "no visible electronics," and Coastal Source bollard, in-ground or planter speakers for outdoor zones. We are an authorized Sonance, Wisdom Audio and Coastal Source dealer; the single-trade model means one design, one install and one warranty across all speaker tiers.

Can it integrate with Lutron HomeWorks lighting scenes?

Yes — lighting integration is the move that turns whole-house audio from "music in every room" into "rooms that respond to how I live." Lutron HomeWorks scene presses can trigger audio: "Movie Night" dims theater lights and ramps up Atmos surround. "Goodnight" silences every zone except the primary suite and lowers the audio there. "Wake" wakes the primary suite zone at 6am with NPR. Same pattern works with Control4 and Crestron scenes; the audio is a first-class output of the scene system, not an afterthought.

How long does a whole-house audio install take in Kansas City?

It scales with zone count and whether the cabling is concealed in finished walls or run during framing. An install in an existing home with concealed cabling in finished walls takes longer than the same zone count in new construction, where the wire goes in before drywall. Room-by-room calibration happens at the end regardless of scale, once the finishes are in and the furniture is placed.
