Custom Audio-Video and Home Entertainment Are The New Design Frontier

These days, it’s not enough to have the right curtains, stylish furniture and a great color scheme. The best dressed homes reach far beyond the visual to present a full sensory experience that includes lighting, networking, security and everything else, both high-tech and low-tech. Custom audio/video and home entertainment systems have become an essential part of home décor. If your home entertainment system is still contained in numerous systems and pieces, it’s time to join the world of custom integrated home entertainment and automation.
Dynamic Entertainment and Home Automation
We’ve come a long way, baby. Not too long ago, a comprehensive music and movie collection required tons of dedicated space to hold your DVDs, CDs and vinyl. The advent of the mp3 player totally upended our concept of portable music, but our home collections remained shackled by space and wiring considerations. The truth is that most people have more advanced access to their entertainment choices on their smartphone than they do on their home systems.
That’s where the cutting edge of home décor and building comes into play. If you’re building a new home, it’s easy to build in automated functionality for your audio, video, lighting and security through a wiring/pre-wire specialist. An experienced audio/visual wiring specialist can work with your architect and builder to lay out a flexible, adaptable wiring plan that will allow you to completely automate all of your home’s entertainment functions.
What Building or Environment Automation Means for You
In the 1960s, Star Trek fans got used to a world where you could walk into a room and, with a few words or a snap of your fingers, dim the lights, start the music and pull up your favorite movies on a flat screen television set into the wall. It’s now star date 2012, and that time is here. With a custom audio/video and home entertainment system, you can easily adjust the lighting, call up your favorite playlists, order the movie or television shows you want to watch – when you want to watch them.
Imagine arriving home from work and having your favorite music start playing as you walk through the door. As the evening falls, your lights come on automatically – and only in the rooms that are occupied. Adjust the level of light in every room from a central LED touch pad, and have your television show play in whichever room you happen to move into as it’s playing.
That’s just a fraction of the possibilities you open when you choose a custom audio/video and home entertainment system installed in your home. Whether you’re building a new home or retrofitting an existing one, make an appointment to discuss your entertainment automation options and take advantage of tomorrow’s entertainment technology today.
