To get $550 off the Soundavo WS66i Whole Home Audio amp, use code TKMZ at checkout! To get 15% off of their ceiling speakers use code TKMZ15
This is the ribbon cable I used: amzn.to/37HtaOp
The 18 pin connectors I used: amzn.to/37DAMBE
The whole reason this project is not done yet, is because of my STUPID CEILING FAN that has not arrived yet. I decided to replace the ceiling fan while I rent the scaffolding so I could hit up the speakers and that at the same time and only have to rent it once. BUT unfortunately that means this whole home audio is getting dragged out :)
Enjoy the videos👌fresh into the hobby, a video suggestion for you: terminating cables to put onto the amp and keypads and maybe also a schematic of your set up.
You can rent a 14 or 15 ft ladder, much cheaper than scaffold.
Hi all, i need help from anyone who has installed ws66i. I just got around to it, connected everything,.network, speakers, tried the streaming zones, 3 and 4 playing music from amazon audio, track is progressing.... pressing play lights up the light in fron next to zone 3 but there is no audio coming out of speakers
Can you let me know where you bought the bulk ribbon cable, connectors, and any tools needs to put them together? I am doing a somewhat custom install with 3 units and 18 zones in my house. I was just about to do connect a couple of cables together as recommended previous video and then saw this one and stopped.
I also used your idea of the custom wall mounts and made 3 of my own yesterday, painted them last night and plan to install today. Thanks for the idea and replying to my other comments.
This was the ribbon cable amzn.to/3sgUkpg and these were the connectors amzn.to/3kL1uOq
I still have ribbon cable and connectors left over, let me know if you want to just have me make one and mail it to you for like $10. Thanks for watchin!
Did you have to use a rca to coaxial adapter for any of your sources, T.Vs
I made custom RCA with coax cable in my other house yes.
Hello, one question.
Did you connect a 5.1 surround speakers for your TV? Or is this all only audio? 🤔
I talk about 5.1 channel setup scenario in this video ruclips.net/video/dVjiZeCCnqA/видео.html
Hello there nice work and clean setups 👍🏻👍🏻 .... question i seen other installs were the switch has Bluetooth source available is that a different brand or is it available for the monoprice as well? Thanks 👍🏻
These wall controls don't have bluetooth built in, but in fact this new upgraded amplifier (the soundavo ws66i) has 2 wireless streamers built in. They run on your home network which is far better than bluetooth. If you want more info check my channel on the soundavo ws66i, I have a discount code. But to answer your question, they do make a bluetooth receiver for these if that is really what you want www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13358&gclid=CjwKCAiAz4b_BRBbEiwA5XlVVpRQOxBSNWiiJh-iPvRC-4y-JSr1c0qF3T0KQ6Nw7eWwZwqLOWLj0RoCqe4QAvD_BwE
@@TheKMZ1 ok cool thanks 👍🏻👍🏻 got you on a cup off coffee
does connecting those two amps with the ribbon cable mean that technically you would have 12 zones (if both amps are 6 zones) and you could use the app to stream on not only the first amp but the one you added on as well and seamlessly?
Yes connecting them together means you get 12 zones, but you still only get 6 sources. So the slave amplifiers share the sources from the main amp
Is there any way to add more sources? I’ve maxed out at 6 with 9 zones.
Technically you wouldn't have to link the 2 amps together. You could run 2 amps independently but then, each amp could not tune into any sources on the other amp
You are done with the cable runs... unless you find a solution for your dining room and use the 12th channel available :-)
Actually, I think I have TWO available channels! I was thinking..... we have a private porch deck off our master bedroom. We should get a hot tub, and then put speakers out there, and then i still have ONE more left for something else!!! lol all I see in my eyes are $$$$$ lol
Did you use surface mount raceway type boxes for the ethernet / controller connections?
I used legrand metal extra deep electrical boxes amzn.to/2KIxP9T when they are mounted on the wall like this, it makes the ethernet connectors a little tight on the back side, but it works. If they had an extra extra deep box it would be a little better haha
And thank you for the coffee's, I really appreciate it! You are a good fan of my channel and I hope to grow the channel a lot more. Looking to get some new camera gear and better setup. So hoping to see some video production quality increases!
@@TheKMZ1 Actually have that box up on the screen from Home Depot so we are on the same page.. My next thought then would be a junction box with a single gang faceplate for the single cat connection. That may provide more room and since it will be in my server closet, not worried about how it looks...
@@TheKMZ1 Bouncing around the thought of building out a small channel myself (more devoted to gardening on my end) but as another channel states, "I have a face for radio and a voice for print!" so we will see. Besides, we tech nerds need to stay together!
@@NavyCopMA1 Yeah if you can find one that is deeper than the "extra deep" ones by legrand, then it will probably work a little better. But, if you can't, those legrand ones do work, it's just that as you are pushing it in, you will start to think, uh oh this isn't going to fit. But it does fit and work.... i've used these in about 4 installs (so far no connection issues) It's kind of one of those things, that once you put it up, I doubt you would ever remove it
I bought the Soundavo 6 zone amp. I have the amp plugged into the modem in the basement My router is centrally located in the house. is there a way to wirelessly stream and utilize the wireless functionality when the amp is not plugged into the router but is connected to the internet?
I think the 2 wireless streamers can connect to your wifi network. I think you'll need to have it plugged into your LAN at first, then configure that and then i think you can unplug it.
@@TheKMZ1 thank you very much for the advice. Love the videos.
@@connormwalsh thanks for watching I appreciate it!
Did you use cat 6 or cat 5e cable for wall key plates ?
In this house i did cat5e. In my previous house I did cat6 because that is what I had leftover. It does not matter if you use one or the other, i would say use whatever you can get for cheaper!
@@TheKMZ1 did you have any issues with the 2 streamers? If I reset the WS66i the streamers show up on the network but then after a few hours or the next day, they disappear and the soundavo app doesn’t pic them up. Have you run across this issue on yours and have a solution? Currently I have a workaround by wiring up a cromecsst into one of the inputs but would really like to use the streamers reliably. Any ideas?
@@farazcurrimbhoy1002 what kind of wireless network are you running? I assume you have 1 router only? 5ghz or 2.4ghz? Are they on a separate SSID or broadcast through the same
@@TheKMZ1 i have a UniFi network with 1 router but multiple SSIDs. One broadcasting 2.4ghz and the other 5ghz. As a troubleshooting step, I combined both bands into 1 SSID but I cannot tell which one the receiver is connecting to. Nor can I force it onto a specific SSID
@@farazcurrimbhoy1002 the only reason I mention that is because the streamers as of now are only 2.4ghz . There are working on upgrades to make it better and 5ghz compatible
What brand RCA cables are you running?
These are monoprice that I'm using amzn.to/38M7kZw
hows it going,
how do i make this system become wireless through the whole house so i dont need to be around the Amplifier ?
This system is not a wireless system
You can use an app to control the zones though
if hook the system up into my network can i play music as long as im on the wifi ?
@@thomasmoore1208 yes you can stream wirelessly to it from your phone as long as you are on the network
@@TheKMZ1 perfect, can you also have multiple zone on the same input ?
Hey great videos, can the sources be controlled via google home like you would with a Chromecast Audio? Eg. Hey google play my spotify playlist called x on zone 1"
Can you show us what the zone list looks like on spotify? Thanks.
Watch this video at this point in time and I think it'll answer your question in detail I think! ruclips.net/video/jY1eTjkCwcE/видео.html
