Discover the Difference in Surround Sound for Your Home Theater or Music Enjoyment

When you’re in a movie theater, you never have to strain to hear what’s happening. In fact, the sounds of the film may be so powerful that you’re moved to tears or goosebumps.

And at a concert, music will fill the hall or stadium, bouncing off walls with a crowd around you, bass notes buzzing the floor. That might be too loud for your home enjoyment—but what if you could bring that immersion and sound quality to your Texas house?

At home, to experience movies and music like they were intended to be, a surround sound system will envelop you in sound. But how do you get started? What speakers do you need? As Dallas area’s top AV consultant, we’ll share all you’ll need for surround sound below.

Hide Your High-End Audio Behind Fine Art—Powered by the Sonos Amp

Whether you love folk-rock or low-fi electronic, imagine your favorite music wafting through every room and hall of your home. With a multi-room audio setup, you can sync your tunes across the house, selecting songs and raising the volume right from your phone.

But adding enough speakers for powerful sound can become cluttered, and perhaps there isn’t a good place for multiple devices. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers are an option but require an installation. Luckily, there’s a new approach to hidden audio by Leon, the renowned speaker manufacturer.

Leon’s new Ente SoundTile series combines fine art with 2-channel audio for a piece that looks more like a decoration than a speaker. Powered by the Sonos Amp, the speakers are concealed by an artwork grille that enhances any room. Read on to learn how the Ente SoundTile will work in your Dallas, TX home.

How the Right Microphone and Room Acoustics Can Improve Meetings

“I’m sorry, what was that?”

“Could you repeat that last part?”

No one wants to hear these comments during an important client call—and especially not more than once. Miscommunication, confusion, and stalled meetings occur when your conferencing technology is not up to par. Just as it’s crucial to use a secure network and high-quality webcam, you also need a microphone that records every voice for virtual calls.

Understanding Home Power Management to Protect Your Devices

We don’t usually give much thought to the energy that powers our homes. We flick on the lights, open the refrigerator, and turn on the TV without a thought. But there are several reasons a home energy control system can be vastly beneficial to homeowners. For one, it will make your AV and automation technology last longer, protecting your devices from surges and problems when the power goes out. If you’re planning to ‘go solar,’ you can store solar battery energy to use when power is down or to supplant the grid.

But how? We’ll break down all you need to know about surge protectors, battery backups, and energy control, so your Dallas, TX-area home stays safe and powered with ‘clean energy.’
