HTE designs structured multi-room audio systems powered by Sonos Amp Multi. Our rack-based multi-zone audio solutions are built for scalability, clean installation, and long-term reliability in new homes and renovations. Multi-room or whole-house audio systems perform better and sound better. Here’s why you should upgrade today.

If you own Bose SoundTouch equipment, an important change is coming. Beginning February 18, 2026, Bose will shut down the cloud servers that power the SoundTouch platform. When that happens, core functions many homeowners rely on—multi-room audio, app-based control, and direct streaming from major services—will no longer work.

What remains are only basic, local inputs such as Bluetooth or auxiliary connections, leaving systems that were once designed for whole-home audio functioning as little more than standalone speakers. For homeowners who invested heavily in SoundTouch for its connected experience, this marks a significant loss of capability—and a reminder of why long-term platform support matters when designing home technology.
