Denon HEOS Whole House Audio Overview and DEMO

[@S.JF_Nikki]

Thank you for this video. This is EXACTLY what I was trying to explain to my husband incorporating the soundbar and subwoofer.

[@edmioz]

hey bud, I am looking to upgrade my home sound system to this (Denon Heos), after I saw it at a friends home and I was impressed, but I have a question... so I already have smart devices such as: Alexas, Ring cameras, light switches, Firesticks, and of course computers, tablets and phones... so safe to say my home is pretty smart... until there is an internet outage, then it becomes really dumb, nothing works, I cant even turn lights on/of as Alexa responds: "Hmm.. I'm having trouble connecting to the internet" will the sound system be a part of that problem as well?, what can I do? or is that the nature of the beast?

[@keepingupwiththejones2933]

Those episode speakers out by the pool really rock😅🤣🤩

[@TheNAVagator]

I have a question. I am in the process of planning wiring for my new home build. I am interested in those extra zone HEOS AMPs, but it looks like Denon has discontinued them. Is there some sort of alternative, since I already have Denon gear I would like to start a HEOS setup, or should I just consider moving to SONOS?

[@dylan-nguyen]

It looks like HEOS amp became HEOS Link Then you need a Denon receiver with HEOS built in Sonos Amp is $650, HEOS Link $350, so big savings. Not sure how well it works tho

[@k_dot_parker6320]

When he says something is really affordable....that typically means like $500 each speaker

[@PrisonMike-_-]

Cause he makes bank from subscribers and likes

[@chrismon1001]

A $500 dollar speaker is extremely affordable in the audio world.

I just bought a very affordable projector for 9k. And after that I bought a new bmw.

[@vonglo4587]

Nice video and explanation. Awesome home..do you need the HEOS amps out to the other zones? I have a Marantz 7015, but find it difficult to pair up the HEOS app.. I may be doing something wrong

[@gjman1972]

Hi great video I’m setting up my surround system as soon as my Sony A90J arrives. My question if you don’t mind is I want to put 502S’s as the left and right rear and I want to mount them on the wall and make them wireless and don’t know which transmitter is the best? Can you recommend a Bluetooth/wireless transmitter I can buy to allow me to mount these on the back wall with no speaker wires? My receiver is the Denon 3700H. Thank you

[@RickyMohar]

Apple Music is not supported the one you pointed to was Amazon music

[@eliancs4072]

i always wanted to have a big house to put speakers everywhere, someday. i love the work you guys do!

[@kfash5198]

I have an question. if the internet is down, can you still use the app to select local inputs from different sources?

[@RaulAndresdelCantoZahr]

Awesome.... wish there were someone giving this service in my country...

[@shockjock35]

Cool video. I didn’t Heos had an amp, how is that compared to Sonos or SVS?

[@chrismon1001]

Please read through my other comments on this video and you'll get a good sense of the differences.

[@arqjavierobregon]

Great video, what Denon model you installed in this project?

[@omarramirez2335]

Do all the exterior speaker get hardwired to the amps or is it all wireless?

[@djsnickatnight279]

Dope! I love the backyard setup. This maybe a silly question but can you put subs in the ceiling? I would want to conceal the set up in common area.

[@Dreamediaav]

its possible. Many in ceiling sub kits are available.

[@drballard33]

Why did you go with 3 of the Denon Heos Amps when you could go with the Denon Heos Drive? Just wondering because I’m looking to replace an old Speakercraft MZC-66 and was thinking the Drive would be better

[@jonathancastor7563]

Hi Zack ! I like the energy you're puttin' for each video ! Very motivating

[@Dreamediaav]

Thanks Jonathan! 😁💪

[@carlpatterson8684]

Does the wireless controller for the sub communicate over Wi-Fi? I have a sub that is in a room that is a pretty good distance from the electronic room.

[@rodneywright9421]

Who would you recommend in the Akron Ohio area to install this product?

[@ganny61]

Have you used the HEOS Drive (4 zones)?

[@jadazzi802]

Can I connect this HEOS to the pre amp out of my Denon AVR for making the surround output while the rest of the speakers are wired ?

[@JohnVanderbeck]

Funny the bit about wifi. I'm actually the opposite. In my new home I'm building I've planned out the wifi and other network routing like crazy but completely forgotten to deal with the audio! So now I'm frantically trying to get up to speed on what my options are and the tech etc. Right now I'm mostly looking at Sonos/Sonance but not really sure why. They just caught my eye. Ideally I'd have a system that integrates well with Apple & Spotify AND could some how mesh with my existing Homepod and Homepod minis that will be in most rooms. That's probably a tall order though :)

[@AnonymousNobody-k3d]

Can I do this with an echo show mounted in the wall?

[@Dreamediaav]

Absolutely! You would just import the HEOS drivers into the the Alexa app for voice control and other automation features. If you need help we offer free system design and ship throughout the entire country. Dreamedia Team 877-417-9000

[@Vogsler]

Imagine throwing insane party with this type of soundsystem...

[@Dreamediaav]

It would be epic! 😎

[@osen110]

Can you play different music on different speakers? Meaning I want to play Spotify on the living room speakers and tunein radio on the rock speakers? Is that working?

[@surfermsocal]

Why dose the access point need its own router? Does this make it possible to mesh a third party a.p. to service providers router wifi thanks. Been using luxul liking it so far!

[@someolddude7076]

I doubt it’s just a router. For residential use, its common to have a multifunction appliance, like router, WiFi, firewall, and 4 or 8 hub or switch ports, all in one little box. He did say a Mesh, which implies more than 1 access point device, so I’m guessing a combo unit and also a standalone or mesh capable AP. Sometimes, depending on area and internet provider, they will give you a combo FW, switch, and AP unit with the subscription.

[@RMD80GAMER]

What do you think of the Heos App?

[@chrismon1001]

They are fantastic I have 24 zones going into my new house. I got a couple of them back to my current home to start getting used to them and I don't miss Sonos at all, and now can enjoy high res even as background music.

[@RMD80GAMER]

@@chrismon1001 I find the App is not the best Daniel the Heos speake i have in my kitchen sound good but the App need a bit of work i think ;-)

[@chrismon1001]

@@RMD80GAMER I agree, but for real high res I'm ok with that - that said I rarely use the app. I interact with the amps with Josh.ai for the most part or control4 at my current home so that pain is gone.

[@rafaelgomez1619]

Do you need a heos amp in order to do zoning with the denon recievers ? I want to do a separate zone for my speaker and master bedroom.

[@chrismon1001]

@@rafaelgomez1619 Use a HEOS link, not the HEOS amp.

[@fiderweb]

This video is awesome, thank you for posting. I’m trying to replicate something similar. Let’s say I am watching the game inside on the TV and the sound is being fed to the 5.1 AVR speakers. Can I also feed the sound from the game to the patio or rocks speakers?

[@Dreamediaav]

yes you can

[@zavarce83]

How many speaker can you connect in one channel of the heos amp. I have a pair 251 outdoor and a pair of bose 791

[@timeylies]

Can you make a whole home audio system for cheap..... Like $500?

[@raifzakhem]

Great video. I’ve purchased several in ceiling speakers from you guys and I’m going primarily with Sonos in-ceiling speakers/amps and several of the play speakers. How would Marantz HEOS work with the Sonos speakers ?

[@chrismon1001]

can't - you'd need an integra receiver not Marantz if you want it to work with Sonos.

[@raifzakhem]

@@chrismon1001 thank you for sharing that. I’ve not that familiar with that brand. I did have the option of switching out my marantz for a Pioneer elite SC LX-704. The pioneer is advertised as works with Sonos as well. I’m trying to see if that still requires me to get a connect or port? Does the integra work with Sonos as a plug and play or would you need a connect/port with that as well? I would have thought that the marantz would have worked the same way.

[@chrismon1001]

@@raifzakhem Onkyo (avoid that brand), Pioneer and Integra are all the same company. I'm glad you mentioned pioneer I actually like them better than Integra unless you need an HDBase-T connection. Yes, those three brands integrate with with Sonos directly. OR you are right you could use a connect on the marantz and then switch inputs, when you want to use sonos. Definitely not as seamless. I love the Pioneer amps the way they sound is great also they just announced Dirac is coming to the eco system, one of the BEST room correction software.

[@raifzakhem]

@@chrismon1001 ok great. Thank you for the heads up. Onkyo did pop when I search for integra as well. I can’t seem to find anything about plugging these in directly with Sonos. It seems like everything says to get a port or connect. I’ll have to do more digging.

[@PhilipWeberAB]

Interesting. Their multi-room audio amps are more expensive than the receiver they're tied to.

[@Dreamediaav]

Thanks for viewing!

[@bigcwastaken2112]

Those Heos links only support 2 speakers per zone, what if I have 4 speakers in say the kitchen, how would that work

[@steventarrayo8875]

you can use 2 zone in your kitchen haha..no problem

[@chrismon1001]

Very good bang for the buck. Far from the best, but they are right there with klipsch. I'd take them over klipsch personally - as they are less sharp sounding.

[@danielruiz5348]

Couldn’t you have done a Sonos system with Sonos Amp for each zone ? Just wondering why you chose this over the Sonos system

[@chrismon1001]

Sonos doesn’t do high resolution, also if they wanted one app for both the TV and outdoor that’s a job for Heos.

[@danielruiz5348]

@@chrismon1001 what do you mean by the Sonos not being high resolution ? Also not sure what you mean about one app for the TV and outdoor ? The Sonos Amp allows for basically the same functionality as the Heos for independent controlling and also grouping

[@markg7963]

That’s my problem with Sonos, an otherwise amazing solution for audio, is that it’s awkward to use it back in the main room. But the heos or yamahas music cast system is already integrated into that receiver. However, all that said, I still put up with the additional complexity of setup in exchange for the control and ease of use of the Sonos. A far superior app, that is way simpler to use.

[@chrismon1001]

@@danielruiz5348 Sonos doesn't do Hi-Res Audio, (24-96, 24-192, DSD 2.4, DSD 5.6). Also they used a Denon receiver on the TV, that doesn't work with Sonos. So if they want to control their music inside and all their outdoor zones with 1 phone app. Heos was the obvious choice. That way you arent using the sonos app for the outdoors and the heos app for the TV zone.

[@danielruiz5348]

@@chrismon1001 got it - I though the S2 operating system with Sonos allowed for Hi-Res audio

[@jamescurnutt1628]

Man...I bought a couple of these HEOS amps last year, in large part because of this and a couple of other KZbinrs, knowing I'd probably need a couple of more at some point as my backyard was finished. And wouldn't you know it...Denon has DISCONTINUED the HEOS HS2 amp. Now I am totally stuck....shoot... I can get HEO speakers, but not a HEOS amp that will drive my wired outdoor speakers around my pool and outdoor covered space.

Your neck will be messed up when you try to watch the TV - at that hight. 2/3 of the TV shall be below you eyes, when you sit in the couch. Those two speakers that are mounted towards the pool. Why didnt you put them on the other side or on top of the wood. Now it looks like... Not nice at all.

[@Dreamediaav]

Thanks for the comment. However the customer probably would have been upset with us putting a tv covering the fireplace. A lot of times we go in after the builder is done and we don’t play any part in the prewire. With that said, most customers just opt to get things hooked up instead of moving things to the optimal location. Thanks for your comments and consideration though 😉

So I have a home full of Heos speakers. When they are working well they are brilliant. However, they are rarely without issues. I purchaed a Heos amp for my theatre in the hope I would be able to then send that signal around the house so we could enjoy a music video everywhere. Typical of Heos nothing works right and there is an insane latency between the theatre hard-wired speakers and the rest of the Heos speakers. Totally useless. I have contacted Heos on so many occasions to try to rectify the issues to no avail. Beyond frustrated. My wife and I have no choice but to laugh at the ridiculous antics of our system as we listen to music around the house. It ungroups, unpairs, repairs, regroups, loses speakers and subs, drops out and in, plays only some speakers at times then all the rest at others. I’ve been told that hard-wiring will fix the issue but wasn’t that the point in buying wireless?? It seems that they had their software just right about two years ago. Today? God only knows. Garbage.

[@gavrildragosdoroftei5401]

Nice video and presentation.. And I'm sure that is a good audio sistem, but is not compatible at all with the house.. The space is way to open and is a lot of echo all around. Bit waste of money in my opinion.
