The genisis of pas (perry’s audio server) was the purchase of a home in which several rooms had in-wall speakers. These lead to a central point at which the previous home owners mounted a rack of receivers.

(In honor of this, the minty color in the pas logo kind of matches the minty color of the house.)

The rack of receivers proved to be entirely unnessary because the in-wall speakers are driven by a cool line-level audio distribution system called A-bus.

First, because I didn’t know _____ existed.
