3 Ways to Enhance Your Home with Innovative Audio-Video Design

Escape, Entertain, and Energize with Audio and Video

We live in the real world, but you might say that the virtual one is coming up fast. While the past year’s pandemic had most of us spending far too much time looking at screens, the reality is that those screens connected us to the rest of the world. While there’s no substitute for the real thing, video calls, immersive entertainment, and escaping to a different environment can make your Southampton, NY home a more comfortable and connected environment when you can’t get out or simply want to disconnect – but not completely!

Keep reading below for three ways smart audio-video design can make your home an oasis of comfort and wellness in a busy world.

MORE IMMERSIVE ENTERTAINMENT

Two of the latest audio and video technologies are designed to immerse you more into whatever you're watching. Dolby Atmos sound, and its competitor DTS:X, are three-dimensional sound formats used in movies and top shows that envelop you in sound. By adding height channels through ceiling-mounted speakers or upward-firing ones, you get the sensation of being right in the scene. One of the best things about these new formats is that even with movies and shows that aren't specifically authored for it, the audio equipment simulates the effect with stereo and other multichannel signals. The net result is a better aural experience with most entertainment and amazing experiences with Dolby Atmos or DTS:X content, including surround music!

On the visual side, IMAX has come out of theaters and into the best TVs, projectors, and sound systems. Like immersive IMAX films, IMAX is a tuning and certification program for equipment that assures you of the highest level of performance from your entertainment. With immersive sound and visuals, you can escape into your entertainment and forget the stresses of life for a while!

YOUR MULTI-SCREEN SPORTSPLEX

If you're a sports fanatic, you probably want to track it all. Why settle for just one screen for your Saturday and Sunday game-watches? Whether it's college or pro, basketball or football, or whatever other sport, it's more enjoyable with a multi-screen setup. We can install a video wall with multiple Samsung smart TVs or even a seamless LED wall with Samsung's The Wall for an incredible large-screen viewing experience with numerous sources. It's a great way to escape into one of your favorite pastimes or entertain friends. 

AV WELLNESS

How about a Zen space where you can meditate, exercise, and otherwise commune with nature when the New York weather is not hospitable? Escape to a view of a beautiful forest or a serene scene of the Sedona Red Rock country. Do it all with dual projectors and wall-to-wall screens or a 98-inch TV in a smaller space and add surround sound. Listen to the sounds of nature and do yoga or meditate. This isn't your home theater; it's your wellness happy place. Your AV can transport you to another environment where you can relax and recharge for the day and week ahead.
