Autonomic
Intelligent Audio Distribution — Streaming & Multi-Room Audio Engineered for Integration
Request System DesignOverview
Autonomic, now part of SnapAV (Snap One), designs multi-room audio streaming and distribution hardware purpose-built for the custom integration channel. Their MMS (Mirage Media Server) platform combines local music library management with cloud streaming services into a single rack-mount appliance that integrates natively with Savant, Control4, and Crestron automation systems.
What separates Autonomic from consumer streaming devices is the depth of integration. MMS servers present album art, metadata, and transport controls directly within the automation interface — not through a separate app. Combined with eSeries amplifiers, Autonomic delivers a complete, rack-mountable audio distribution solution that disappears into the equipment room.
At Peters Audio Video, Autonomic provides the streaming backbone for multi-room audio installations where clients want Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, and local library access unified within their Savant or Control4 interface — no separate apps, no switching inputs, no compromises.

Specification Review
Choosing Autonomic for Your Home
Compare the specific equipment proposed for your rooms, not the brand name alone. Autonomic families discussed on this page include MMS Media Servers, eSeries Amplifiers, Streaming Sources, Accessories. Availability, model specifications, firmware and third-party integration support need confirmation before a final design.
- Room fit: Request a model-level schedule showing where each component will be used, its mounting and power requirements, and any architectural compromises.
- Integration evidence: Identify the supported connection or driver for each required function. Separate physical compatibility from actual command support and test behavior when internet access is unavailable.
- Complete scope: Compare equipment, infrastructure, configuration, commissioning and documentation together. Confirm subscriptions, licenses, warranty terms and ongoing support separately in the proposal.
Useful project details: Your listening areas, preferred music services, ceiling details and whether speakers should be visible or concealed.

Architectural Coordination
For new builds and renovations, our team coordinates directly with architects and builders during the design phase — ensuring Autonomic infrastructure (conduit runs, power, equipment closets) is properly planned before walls close.
Professional Installation
Installation requirements depend on the selected Autonomic equipment: mounting, cabling, ventilation, power and configuration are coordinated with the project scope. Documentation records the installed components and relevant connections.
Calibration & Commissioning
After installation, we verify the specified Autonomic functions and system connections. Applicable audio, video or control settings are commissioned for the room, with owner orientation and documentation appropriate to the equipment.
