Where Audio & Video Reign

Audio and video equipment are the clear protagonists in any home theater, and a properly designed AV system is paramount to achieving a true cinematic experience. To satisfy your video cravings, we could recommend either a TV or projector depending on your needs and available space. Samsung, one of our trusted brand partners, designs both. 

When considering audio options, we often opt for a Sonance surround sound system, given the brands focus on quality, ease of customization, and discrete installation within walls and ceilings. Take their speakers and subwoofers as an example, with 4th generation coaxial drivers, consistent tonal matching, and Klippel II technology to optimize each audio source to its space. 

Don’t Forget About Ambiance

Before deciding on your AV system, it is important to determine the look and feel you want to achieve. If the existing decor is not to be trifled with, we can install in-wall, in-ceiling, and in-cabinet speakers. For a more high-tech look, floor speakers are a great option!

Our team also helps you choose the ideal seating options and layout for the space. Viewing and listening angles are then considered when placing your screen and speakers relative to your seating arrangement. 

With your AV systems ready, the supporting cast must shine as well. At r:home, we will build acoustic treatments tailored to your space to reduce reverberations and echoes. From there, installing Lutron tunable lights and smart shades to manage natural and artificial light. Finally, a Control4 interface or universal controller offers seamless control.

Hiring a professional will be the easiest part of designing or upgrading your home theater. From selecting the brands and products that work best for you to designing and installing your AV system, we are here to help. Best of all, our team of local experts is a screen tap away!
