NEVER MISS OUT ON THE MUSIC

Are you listening to music, but you need to go to another room or outside? It’s not very convenient to hit “pause.” It interrupts your enjoyment. Instead of missing your favorite song or pausing the playlist, let the music follow you. With whole-home audio, you’ll never feel limited again, no matter when, how, or where you choose to listen to music—even if you listen to music outside.

Your multi-room audio system delivers crisp, clear, and high-quality music. Play the music through your James Loudspeakers in every room in your house. Or select specific rooms. With a high-end audio system with separate channels, you can even play different songs in different rooms. Your home will sound like a music venue by installing premium speakers and placing them in the best and aesthetically pleasing locations. If you’d rather not see the speakers, that’s fine too. James Loudspeaker has architectural and hidden speaker options that can be installed in the walls and ceilings—out of sight.

HOME AUDIO ISN’T JUST ABOUT MUSIC

If listening to music isn’t your thing, then switch over to podcasts or radio. Whether you want to listen to the news, a talk show, comedy, or interviews, you’ll find literally every topic under the sun through satellite radio or by downloading an app. Once you’ve found what you like, it’s easy to hit play on your whole-home audio system.

At the same time, if you and the family are watching a movie in your home theater, but you need to step into the kitchen for refreshments, there’s no need to stop the movie.

Seamless Connectivity

While a reliable network is an increasingly critical component, we continue to put greater demands on it. Today, nearly every device in a house comes with connectivity options. In addition, the IoT (Internet of Things) continues to expand to include an ever-growing list of electronics such as media dongles, toys, appliances, and light switches. 

The demands of constant connectivity can easily overwhelm a network. The result is slow page loads, interruptions, lag, and the dreaded buffering message while watching your favorite show or the big game. Instead, a data network should operate seamlessly in the background, never calling attention to itself. 

The Best of Both Worlds

WiFi gives the freedom to enjoy devices and media without the hassle of wires, indoors or outside. Wireless communication does have its benefits, but its reliance on over-the-air signals has its limitations. 

The frequencies used for wireless networking are prone to interference from other WiFi-enabled devices and even a neighbor's network. Because anyone within the range of a router can receive the transmission, there is a greater chance of illicit access by hacking.

The Domino Effect

All your intelligent systems are connected to your home automation platform and each other. This enables them to work together, creating the perfect setting for various times of the day and activities. For instance, many clients enjoy waking to sunlight filtering through shades slowly rising. Their 'Good Morning' playlist gently nudges them, streaming through nearly invisible in-ceiling speakers. 

As the day advances, the shades on south-facing windows lower, reducing solar heat gain and the strain on HVAC systems. At the same time, the lighting in occupied rooms adjusts, maintaining the perfect level of illumination. Like a domino, one system affects another, creating the perfect atmosphere.

A Home That Welcomes You

Geofencing creates an invisible boundary tripped by your smartphone. This enables your smart home to start preparing for you as soon as you pull into the driveway at the end of the day. In response, it illuminates your landscape and first-floor lights, turns on your ‘Welcome Home’ playlist, adjusts the temperature, and heats the spa.  

A Space for Entertainment

Many clients incorporate distributed audio-video systems that deliver the best entertainment over the same platform. All the AV gear is tucked away in a closet and distributed to every 4K HDR TV and in-ceiling, bookshelf, and floorstanding speaker. These systems deliver superior, high-fidelity sound and stunning video to every room and are effortlessly managed with one touch.

A smart home lets you manage your connected devices with one touch or voice command.

CUSTOMIZED SMART HOME LIVING 

Enjoying smart home living requires a customized approach. Different aspects of home automation are important to different people. You may not want a hot spa, beautiful landscape lighting, and relaxing tunes drifting through your backyard when you get home from a long day at work. Instead, you may want to relax in the living room with a glass of wine, your favorite TV series, and the lights settling into a shade of color that matches the setting sun. 

That’s the essence of a customized smart home. We program your smart devices to respond to your many activities and moods with the touch of a button, creating an environment just the way you and your family like it.
