More Than a Screen & Speakers

Sure, you can watch a movie with a big screen and surround sound speakers, but there’s much more to incorporate into your home entertainment space than a basic TV and speaker setup. A movie experience combines audio, video, light, and seating to create an experience that places viewers into riveting movie and TV show scenes once they press the play button.

Imagine a large-format projection screen descending from the ceiling or unveiling itself from behind motorized drapes. Then a 4K ultra-high-definition laser projector whirs to life as you cue up your AV system with the tap of a button. The lights in the room dim to the perfect setting - off near the screen and dimly lit along pathways and near the back of the room. You and your family can safely navigate to the snack bar for refreshment refills mid-movie. Acoustic treatments camouflage as conversation-starting pieces of artwork, and the speakers are perfectly positioned, so every seat offers a truly immersive soundscape with sound emanating from every direction. It’s all possible with a professional home theater installation!

The Process

At our initial meeting, our team will ask several questions about your viewing habits, look at the size and shape of your potential entertainment space, and discuss your budget. After this discovery meeting, our design and engineering team will start drafting your future entertainment oasis. We’ll present every detail to you - down to the wiring, wall plug locations, and the hardware and labor requirements. Once you sign off and approve the project details, we’ll coordinate with other trade professionals, including architects, builders, interior designers, and contractors, to create the perfect home theater space for you and your family. We also offer comprehensive maintenance and support plans to assist if devices go offline or for critical system updates.
