Professional Home AV Installations Remove Clutter
A top AV technology frustration many homeowners have is clutter.
DIY solutions and novice companies will often incorporate several brands, components, and software solutions into each room. Each requires a different remote or app so even managing the basics like volume and song selection becomes overwhelming.
A centralized whole-house AV system solves that issue. A remotely located closet or cabinet area houses an AV rack to store components. Every source component and its related wiring are out of sight and out of mind. Everything simply works with ease!
A single smart remote, your smartphone, or a voice command makes your AV system respond. You can control all the details, from adjusting the volume to changing TV channels, without fumbling for the right remote. All your favorite entertainment is at the ready for whatever you feel like enjoying in that moment!
You Can Watch and Listen to Anything Anywhere
A whole-house system distributes all your audio and video sources to every room you want to listen or watch in. Architectural speakers blend discreetly into the wall or ceiling, ensuring no speakers or cables infringe upon your aesthetic. You could also opt for floor-standing speakers that add style and bookshelf and tabletop speakers that add intrigue to living spaces.
There's no need to choose just one type of speaker, though. With so many available options, you'll undoubtedly find something to suit your listening and stylistic preferences.
For video, you can share DVRs and cable boxes across several rooms, reducing clutter and complexity. More importantly, all your entertainment is available through a single intuitive interface. Play jazz in the home office while your partner listens to rock in the kitchen. The kids can watch YouTube in the playroom, too, all using the same AV system to manage it all.
Enjoy Consistent Audio and Video Quality Everywhere
A professionally designed and installed AV system blankets the entire house with high-quality lossless audio and native 4K video signal distribution! Satellite or cable TV, streaming sources, and personal vinyl music collections all have superior quality regardless of where you choose to listen or watch.
Everyone can enjoy their favorite entertainment at the highest quality, so no one feels left out. Listen to riveting podcast episodes while gardening, enjoy an audiobook chapter while preparing a meal, and experience an immersive family movie night in the home theater.
It's all possible with a residential AV installation, which simplifies entertainment options without requiring you to toggle through various apps or a pile of remotes to adjust settings.
Easy Access to Equipment for Maintenance and Upgrades
A centralized AV rack can solve a number of issues. Of course, an AV rack in a nearby closet reduces visual clutter, but the centralized location will provide adequate ventilation for equipment like amplifiers to increase long-term system longevity.
A single place for the gear makes access easier and simplifies troubleshooting. Just think: there's no need to search in walls for cables or stick your head behind the TV to add a new device! Everything becomes easier to connect and configure when components are in the same spot.
The Dream AV Experience: Smart Home Integration
AV distribution is taken to the next level of luxury and convenience when it's part of your smart home automation system. Sound + Image works with best-in-class platforms like Control4 to incorporate whole-home control of your entertainment solutions, lighting, climate, motorized window treatments, and more.
Not only can that one interface simplify device management, but it can also bring incredible convenience. With the touch of a button, you can set customized scenes that include music or video entertainment for cooking, exercising, relaxing, or watching movies. For example, "Movie Night" will fire up the AV system, lower the projection screen, and dim the lights. All you need to do is select a movie, sit back, and enjoy yourself!
