A conceptual architecture visualization of a multi-room audio system. On the left, a glowing neon blueprint of a hard drive labeled "LOCAL STORAGE CORE" sits on a dark wooden desk. Vibrant cyan and magenta data lines curve upward, connecting to stylized icons of smart speakers labeled "Kitchen," "Living Room," and "Bedroom."
