Is 2021 Your Time to Upgrade Your Entertainment?

Most people agree: 2020 was a pretty tough year. So, as we approach 2021 with optimism for new experiences, we’re looking at the AV industry to see what exciting changes homeowners can expect.

Whether you’re interested in a new high-end sound system, home theater, or updating your living room display, let these recent trends inspire your audio-video installation. As a high-end AV installer based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and serving clients worldwide, we’re tracking the pulse of what’s best in today’s AV. 

For rumbling bass and realistic sound effects, you’ll need better audio.

People are drawn to soundbars for many reasons. For one, they’re a one-piece audio solution that’s quick to install under the TV or projector screen. And they provide more robust sound than a TV’s built-in speakers. They can look cool depending on the TV, final design, and installation aesthetic.  However, it’s best to avoid using one in a high-end home theater design.

While soundbars improve upon TV audio, they won’t provide the immersive wow-factor you desire in a home cinema. It’s best to use a soundbar in the bedroom, kitchen, or other non-primary viewing spaces.

For a home theater, you’d be cutting yourself short not to use a receiver, proper loudspeakers, and a subwoofer for a Dolby ATMOS surround sound setup. As a luxury home theater designer based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and cities worldwide, we’ll share why you should avoid soundbars and how to experience high-end Dolby ATMOS surround sound in your home.

Why You Need an Experienced Studio Contractor to Design Your Recording Space

Whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer or a professional with some experience in mixing tracks, it’s crucial to design a sound studio the right way, using the best equipment.

How Your Fort Lauderdale Home Can Use Both

Imagine lights that shift colors for the perfect atmosphere; motorized shades that grant you instant privacy; and whole home audio controlled right from your phone. With a smart home system, it’s all synched at your fingertips

But when researching smart technology, you’ll often see the terms ‘home control’ and ‘home automation’ used interchangeably. What do they mean? While there are similarities, the phrases do not mean the same thing.

We’ll explore the differences below so you can envision what a complete home automation setup will be like for your Fort Lauderdale, FL, property.  

Feeling Minimalist for Your AV Installation?

Nothing can turn a tough day around like music. Once the first notes of your favorite songs start, all stress begins to fade away. We enjoy whole-home audio for countless reasons: hosting parties, workouts, or soundtracking our morning routine. The way you listen to music transforms when you can hear it through every room of the house including outdoors. Suddenly, you feel connected to the feel-good atmosphere no matter where you are at home.

But finding a location for multiple speakers in every room can be a challenge. If you feel like you don’t have room for floor-standing or bookshelf speakers (or don’t want the clutter), what are your options?

We’ll point you in the direction of in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, also known as architectural speakers. To understand how an AV installation like this will work in your Naples, FL, home, read on below.
