Home Theater w/Acoustic Panels and Dolby Atmos

 

"Best Home Theater in San Diego"...That's a lofty title, isn't it? We want to bring up a point about today's home theaters and smart homes. In most cases, the best home theater doesn't necessarily have as much to do with the quality of the components as much as it does the actual set-up, calibration and then the reliability. We're going to focus on the reliability and follow-up aspect here. When you add a home theater or smart home solution to your house these days, we feel that it is VERY important to go with a company that will be around in the future and that has methods to help you remotely. Here's a couple quick points about us that address this.

 

"Are you going out of business" - Our recommendation for a home theater company would be one that has been around locally for a long time AND that has some form of brick & mortar presence or established showroom. Without either of these factors, it is very likely that these businesses won't be around for the long haul. We have seen dozens of these home theater companies go out of business over the last decade. If you opted to go with one of these audio/video "businesses", you may now be lacking crucial support or warranty options.

With us...no such issues. We've been around since 2006 and have a by-appointment showroom here in San Diego.

"My XYZ stopped working" - Today's systems and devices are amazing in what they provide but unfortunately aren't anywhere as near as reliable as they were in the past. There are two components to this. First, most devices today rely on your wired or WiFi network. For this reason, insufficient network strength, WiFi drop-outs or provider issues can make it where your audio/video/home automation equipment just won't function. For this reason, we only install WiFi systems that let us see remotely what is going on with your system. Netflix won't work...we know why. Remote control stopped functioning...no problem. iPad won't connect...here's the solution. This eliminates all of the guesswork and normally lets us address isssues in minutes...not hours or days.

We also have the ability to either power-cycle components automatically or we provide a simple way for you to reset the power simply to all of your components. The biggest issue we see from day-to-day is certain components locking up due to power issues. This includes cable boxes, satellite boxes, DVD players, remote control processors, Smart TVs, etc. Without knowing what cable to pull out, this can turn into a total nightmare. Our automatic or self-managed solutions make this a breeze! See link below.

100" projection screen with Definitive Technology speakers: Multi-purpose media room in Del Mar 

 

You know what is very cool? A dedicated home theater. It's a great place for the family to get together to watch movies, sports and to enjoy each others company. Did you know that you don't need to have a specific, dedicated media room to do this? Many of our home theater set-ups look like the above...these are multi-purpose rooms that families utilize all day long for activities other than theater viewing. Here are some of the basics:

Sony on wall TV

 

Some of our clients just moved to a new home and they needed our help. They needed to move all of the equipment from their old house, get updated wiring in the new house, add a mixture of their old toys and some new ones and make things easy to operate. Sounds difficult but this is what we do every day. Some of the aspects include:

Sony on wall tv with speakers

70" Sony LED TV with speakers on a cinder-block wall? No problem! This multi-purpose room has surround sound (featuring Yamaha receiver, Artison speakers, Monitor Audio speakers), video games, pool tables and hidden electronics.

Sony XBR55X850B r

In this area the client wanted an AWESOME picture and great sound. They also didn't want to see the audio/video equipment. A Sony 55" 4K TV, Definitive Technology on-wall speakers, Sunfire in-wall subwoofer and gear hidden in the closet did the trick.

To make all of the surround sound equipment and home automation gear behave, some form of control was needed. The above URC Total Control universal remote with iPad control is an elegant way to operate all of the systems. This allowed for the equipment to be hidden away and to use just ONE REMOTE to control everything!

Projects like this are fun and it's what we do every day. If you're interested in enhancing your life with music, movies or home automation, give us a call and let San Diego's home automation experts show you what's available today.

Would you rather have GOOD stuff or BAD stuff? Sometimes our budgets dictate that we have the latter. However, here at Aire Theater Designs it is our job and mission to save the citizens of San Diego from BAD audio, video and home theater. If your budget determines that you have BAD audio/video equipment but you want GOOD stuff, follow this blueprint to build the home theater of your dreams by buying it in steps.

STEP 1: Choose a quality audio/video receiver and a pair of speakers: You want to choose a home theater receiver that allows you to hook up EVERYTHING that you want to connect today in addition to components that you may want to add tomorrow. You don't want to scrimp on your speakers as they make more of a difference, dollar-for-dollar, than anything else in your system. If you have just been listening to the TV speakers or an all-in-one home theater in-a-box, you will be BLOWN AWAY at the realism that your new system offers for music and movies.

STEP 2: Add a subwoofer: The subwoofer will add the lower bass frequencies that make an on-screen Tyrannosaur scare you and really gives you the UMMPPH of the theater. What many people realize once the subwoofer is in the system is that music sounds SO MUCH BETTER once you add this speaker. You will literally hear notes and nuances in your favorite song that you have never experienced.

STEP 3: Add a pair of tower speakers:  Now you are stepping it up a notch in your theater. Adding better speakers to the front of the room will give you more presence, realism and impact for your music and movies. Move your existing speakers to the back of the room and listen. Movies will come alive as scenes with objects hurtling front-to-back will now become a reality in your room! Don't forget to duck!

STEP 4: Add a center channel: This last addition will provide you with vocals that seem to come out of the TV. This final add to the system will help to "build a stage" so when scenes play out on-screen in front of you, a tapestry is built where the sounds, vocals and action on-screen come alive right before you. This last piece will put you directly IN the movie.

Now you have the recipe for building a home theater on a budget and we're the company that can provide you with the ingredients. With decades of experience, quality brands like Yamaha, Definitive Technology, Martin Logan, Monitor Audio. Denon and others, we can help you to do this right. Call us up if you're interested in enhancing your life through music and movies with a little help from San Diego's leading dealer of audio/video and home theater.
