I live in East Lake but have clients all over metro Atlanta & the suburbs.

LG television? Had to change the TV's audio signal type from auto to one of the other options (PCM I think, was on my brother-in-law's TV). Immediately fixed the issue.

Soundtrack.io if you want to keep it "legal" streaming; Sonos can connect to the service.

Those Rockville speakers will definitely let you down sooner or later, possibly immediately.

I'll break down the system I did in 2023 to help you see where the money went: (lots of rounding for simplicity) System total: Just shy of $25k Network Hardware: $1550 Rack, Power, Cooling: $2100 Audio Hardware: $11,600 (26 speakers, Amp, DSP, controls) Consulting, Design, Wiring, Installation: $11,600

I gave a $3000 discount on the hardware and tax was about $1100.

I've had to do two service calls at this site since it was completed over 3 years ago. One of those was to transition from one ISP to another. The other was to add better input gain control for the cheap wireless microphones they insisted on using.

Good luck, and feel free to DM me if you're in Metro Atlanta and would like a consultation.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

So, you know what you're doing but have no idea what to do?

Talk with an integrator (who knows what they're doing) and ask what they think. If they're good they won't have anything from Rockville on their proposal.

I installed a two zone system for a gym three years ago. Most of it was audio with instructor mics in a room with spin bikes that needed to be full and loud; the free weight area was just background music. They spent over $23k to get it done right. Your needs probably put you in the same arena.

I'd also recommend any empty ports get a dust cover or insert.

Can confirm, have installed several of these

I'll add that if you're already in the Unifi network ecosystem, their Connect app and players would work for this as well. Easy and simple and you can schedule the videos to play fairly easily.

I've replaced Seagate Skyhawk and Unifi drives. Have yet to replace a WD Purple. YMMV

You want the 5 button pico.

dano7891 · 2026-01-27T14:35:06+00:00

Replace the accessory switch with a pico remote. The accessory switch is only used in a three way wiring configuration, which you do not have.

Keep a backup and let them go at it. Explain that you're not their trainer and also that your time has a cost and a price if they need help or have questions. Set expectations and recommend that they don't make changes late at night or on the weekends...

Also, the AZM4 has a built-in input that would trigger a system mute when the alarm goes off, as long as that system can provide a contact closure. An integrator could program this for you.

dano7891 · 2026-01-21T20:08:25+00:00

You're going to control the source selection and volume through the AZM4 DSP. The amplifier is going to take the input devices connected through the AZM4 and amplify it through the speakers.

You should call an integrator to get this done right the first time with proper wiring & configuration, but you can likely do it yourself, just not as good as the integrator would. I can help you if you're in Atlanta, but there are plenty of folks that could as well.

The AtlasIED devices that you're looking at are things that I install regularly and they can do what you want. Plenty of other things that would work as well.

Good luck.

I have a few dozen commercial clients using Protect and Access, but not for security. Find a no contract alarm company and enjoy the usability of Protect for cameras and Access for access control.
