Audio

When selecting audio for your home theater, we’ll ask you about your preferences, the types of entertainment you want to watch, and your budget. Then, we will consider all of your responses and advise you on the best solution for you.

Audio options could include a multi-channel surround sound system or a customized 3-D sound experience with Dolby Atmos, THX, or a similar immersive sound system. All are great options and will make your movies come to life.

Video

Next, we’ll look at your video options. We’ll ask you about screen size preference and whether you prefer a large-screen TV or a 4K or 8K laser projector. We can direct you in the direction of TV brands we prefer for the best performance and help you understand the best display screens to use for projection. We want you to be happy with your video choices, so we’ll ensure you have an opportunity to learn about the most current trends and options.

Lighting

While not part of the main feature, your home theater lighting is part of the excitement. Lighting has a way of setting the stage with the excitement of going to the movies.

We’ll also want to explore your room to see how much ambient light is coming in from outside, and we can help make suggestions regarding motorized blinds to reduce the glare from any windows.

Smart controls

Of course, if you’re going high-tech, you will probably want automation of critical features, including your audio, video, temperature, lighting, and perhaps motorized shades. With the power of a smart control, you can press one button and bring your movie magic to life. We are a fan of smart control and automation, and they are a must in the modern home theater for the best entertainment experience.

Acoustics

One area that is often overlooked by home theater shoppers is acoustic treatment. Acoustics can make a significant difference in the quality of the sound in a home theater. We can assist you in optimizing your space for enhanced audio quality. These options include carpet installation, special acoustic wall or ceiling panels, or even the right curtains to use. A proper analysis of your room acoustics and calibration of your audio system are essential to get the immersive sound you expect in a home cinema.
