Home Theater of this quality begins to surpass the experience that even high end movie theaters deliver.
Imaging walking into a room with illuminated sconces hanging on the wall, inviting leather theater seats and curtains extending across the front of the room. You sit down in one of your comfortable theater seats and recline, placing your beverage of choice in the cup holder along the arm rest. You notice the elaborate LCD control panel sitting next to you, with only one button displayed on the screen – “START.” You press the button and the room comes alive. Lights dim and curtains retract – exposing a screen that drops from the ceiling. Once all the movement stops the room thunders as the Dolby and THX introductions appear on the screen.
So begins the magic of a well designed, built and executed Home Theater.
This System Typically Includes:
Projection System
While LCDs are the most popular new TV for the majority of clients, this is the price range where we start to offer front projection systems to our clients. The screens commonly range in size from 84” to 120”+ for this price range.
Blu-ray / DVD Player
Blu-ray has won the war over HD-DVD and is the next generation of media that will replace DVD in years to come. Blu-ray players also play normal DVDs discs, so you don’t have to worry if you have a large DVD collection. Many players even upconvert your normal DVDs to give you a picture quality that is closer to high definition.
Media Server
A media server makes it easy to enjoy all of your digital content – music, movies, photos and more – in your new Home Theater. They are an added bonus to any system.
Room Acoustic Treatment
A Home Theater’s sound is only as good as the equipment and the room’s acoustical nature. More often than not we add acoustical products to help perfect the sound as much as the room will allow. Once your room has been acoustically treated you will be amazed and how much the sound has been improved.
Pre-Processor
Receivers are a “Jack of all trades,” while a Pre-Processor specializes only in delivering perfect audiophile grade sound to your external amplifier. Pre-Processors are typically the “brains” of your high-end audio system and have superior circuitry for audio processing when compared to receivers. The main benefit that a Pre-Processor has, in addition to the superb sound quality, is the ability to be upgraded as necessary while still retaining your amplifier to work with the new pre-amp. Higher end Pre-Processors are built to be upgraded as technology changes.
Power Amplifier
Amplifiers specialize in powering speakers; it’s all they do and they do it very well. With a separate amplifier you gain a lot of sound quality, dynamic range and quite a bit more power when compared to the majority of receivers. High end audio systems use separate Pre-Processors and Amplifiers almost exclusively.
Speakers
This package features a cinema-quality 7.1 surround sound, which includes a center channel speaker, six surround speakers, and a powered subwoofer. In this price range you can pick almost any speaker configuration for your room, including bookshelves, in-wall, on-wall, in-ceiling, or a combination of these. The 7.1 system also gives you a more full surround sound experience than the 5.1 system.
Lighting Control
Lighting control adds extra convenience to your system in many ways. Not only can you automate your lights to dim when the movie starts, but they can be programmed so when you pause the movie to leave the room briefly, the lights raise enough to let you see where you are going without turning all the way up and blinding you and your family. Push Play upon returning and they dim again.
Touch-Screen Control Center
We feature either a wireless hand held touch screen controller or a wired controller that is mounted to your theater seating or a side table. Complete control over your media server, all the components in your rack, and the rest of your automated home. Press one button and everything comes to life!
Theater Seating
A high-end home theater would not be complete without luxurious theater seating to complete the experience. With recliners and cup holders built in, nothing is a better compliment to a great movie.
Rack Mount Media Closet
A rack is a great option for the client who does not want to see all the electronics in the same room as the Home Theater. We have many options for this type of installation, and choose an appropriate universal remote that will work wirelessly through walls with your equipment.
Cooling System
With this level of system keeping the equipment from overheating is extremely important. This system includes cooling equipment that mounts in the rack with your equipment to ensure it stays at the right temperature.
Power Conditioning & Surge Protection
You wouldn’t drive a car without insurance, so why would you plug your home entertainment into an outlet without surge protection? This system includes a power conditioner to protect your equipment from power surges, spikes and AC noise.
Wire & Cable
Every package includes all the necessary cabling and wire to install speakers and hook up components. We use high quality cabling for the best delivery of audio and video in your system.
Professional Installation
Each and every system we install gets our full attention and precise detail. We take care to ensure your system will be properly configured for the best quality entertainment it can provide.
