The Vision

Some clients know what they want to the very last detail. Others know they want the immersive cinematic experience but are uncertain if that means a home theater, media room, or outdoor entertainment. And that’s what we’re here for. 

We'll determine what you want to get out of this ultimate entertainment space, whether the designated movie room designed for immersive cinematic viewing or an area that also doubles for sporting events, video game marathons, and a wellness room. We’ll explore room options, design, audio-video equipment, seating, lighting, acoustic paneling, and the means to control this equipment. 

Some of our clients are visual by nature, which means scouring through lots of pictures. Others want to start with the specifications and engineering details. By the time we're done with the initial assessment, you’ll be more than excited about the process and, more importantly, the joy you’ll experience when it’s complete. 

The Sound & Image

We’ll explore the possibilities in the latest AV technology, from large 120”-plus movie screens and 4K HDR projectors that deliver lifelike images and brilliant colors to large 4K HDR TVs. If ambient light exists, we may recommend specific screens and blackout shades or QLED TVs with high levels of built-in brightness.

Dual-Bandwidth Routers for Seamless Connectivity

Standard home network installations consist of a router and modem. Often, the two are combined and referred to as a gateway. While a router is able to connect your home devices, your internet speed can suffer if many devices are used at once. 

Most smart homes have many internet/Wi-Fi-dependent devices, requiring extensive home networks that not only provide high-speed internet but can also connect home technology for seamless operation. To accommodate your extensive data requirements, professionals will use dual-bandwidth routers that can connect as many devices as you want without any signal drops. 

These routers use two different frequencies (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) simultaneously to prevent traffic congestion, resulting in a network that can support all home devices without impacting the speed of your Wi-Fi connection. 

A Combination of Wireless and Hardwired Solutions

Relying too much on wireless solutions is a mistake that homeowners often make. It can lead to loss of signal and inadequate signal coverage throughout your home.

Centralized Control

If you have several home technologies installed - without a smart home system - they all come with their own control options. But operating home technology with individual remotes can get confusing and create clutter. Fortunately, a fully integrated home automation system allows you to connect all devices to one platform and enjoy centralized control with a single button press. 

Whether you want to schedule scenes for one or more devices or adjust a specific technology, such as the lighting in a room, both options are available to you.
