"Oh...we can do that."

In our industry, these are famous last words uttered by many contractors, electricians or "expert friends" regarding their ability to complete home automation projects such as:

1) Giving you the capability to view your front door camera from your iPad or any TV in the house.

2) Giving you one-touch control of your home theater.

3) Turning on your lights when you get home from the safety of your car with a dedicated Lutron lighting system.

4) Adjusting the temperature in your home from your iPad, computer or even from the office.

Why do we call these "famous last words"? It's because we have talked to countless clients that have had nightmares with other companies regarding home automation projects and smart home installations. The problem typically involves two things:

1) The amount of training that this field requires (see below).

2) Businesses that don't specifically do audio, video and home automation but say they do. These typically include contractors, electricians, plumbers and others.

At Aire Theater Designs, we understand training. Three members of our team will complete 72 hours of training this week on just ONE BRAND of our home automation line-up (Elan g!). We are sending another member of our staff to 20 hours of training next week on get master certification of another new offering (URC's Total Control Line). This ongoing learning ensures that we know our stuff and that we won't be giving you any famous last words.

Would you go to a dentist to get brain surgery? Of course not! Following this logic, it makes sense to go to a specialist when you are looking to enjoy movies, music and today's home automation or smart home technology in your home. If you're looking for plumbing help or need a fence built, don't call us. However, if you want to enhance your life through music, video and technology, give us a call and let us show you what's available today.

We are typically hesitant to bring on new product lines as we want to make sure that any equipment we offer to our clients sounds great, is reliable and represents great value. Ladies and gentlemen...we have found another partner. We'd like to introduce SUNFIRE to you.

Sunfire is what happens when you mix equal parts of a 190 I.Q., a physicist and a guy who loves music. The end result of this cocktail is Bob Carver, an audio genius that has created amplifiers and speakers that offer world-class performance at a fraction of the price of competitors' offerings (see write-up on Wikipedia for his audio challenge in the 1980s where he created similar sound to amplifiers that were considered the world's best at 1/40th of the price). Bob's creation of the Sunfire company has allowed us to experience these products for ourselves.

Aire Theater Designs wil be carrying Sunfire's subwoofers, speakers and amplifiers. A break-down on some of these products follows:

True Subwoofers

Use these subwoofers where you want the best theater experience possible. This line offers incredible performance that will transform your Living Room into a dedicated home theater. These are one-of-a-kind subwoofers. These encompass the TSEQ12, TSEQ10, TSEQS12, TSEQS10 and TSSJ.

These models are priced from from $1000-$2500. P.S. Check out the TSSJ if you want fantastic bass out of a 9" cube!

HRS Product Line

Subwoofers: This series focuses on providing an amazing movie experience without the need for giant speakers all over the room. These speakers and subwoofers offer BIG performance in a little package.

These encompass the HRS12, HRS10 and HRS8. These models are priced from $850-1050.

Speakers: These offer features like ring-radiating tweeters, high-back EMF woofers and sealed enclosures. What's all this nonsense mean? It means that these speakers sound amazing and that the only nonsense here is the fact that these high-end designs shouldn't cost so little.

These encompass the HRS-SAT4, HRS-SAT4C, HRS-SAT4BIP. These models are priced from $475-650 each.

Amplifiers

The difference in performance by adding an amplifier to your system is stellar. Your speakers instantly sound fuller and more dynamic. There is a sonic crispness that makes it sound like you just upgraded your speakers in a BIG way. These Theater Grand amplifiers offer the most power in their class (up to 2800 watts!) and will give you unrivaled sound. Don't invite your friends over unless you want to see them leave your house with sad looks on their faces as they go home to their inferior systems.

These encompass the  TGA-7401 and TGA-7201. These models are priced from $2500-3500.

Your problem:

a) You've just moved into a new house that has speakers in all of the rooms and you are wondering how to get music to them easily with a system that isn't complicated.

b) You have an existing home with speaker pairs on upper and lower stories and you are tired of going upstairs/downstairs to change sources or volume levels.

Your answer:

a) SONOS and an iPad!

What this system offers is:

a) Instant access to many of your favorite music sources including iTunes, Pandora Internet Radio, Rhapsody, Sirius XM, local AM/FM (with no static), iHeartRadio and many more!

b) Two-way graphic feedback from any of these music sources: This allows you to choose whatever music you want from anywhere in the house and to see what you are choosing on the iPad with cover art, song titles, etc.

c) Independent volume control for all areas: Depending on the configuration you choose, you can control all areas of music independently right from your iPad or iPhone. Great for outdoor speakers or large homes!

d) More money in your pocket! Systems that offer this type of experience sold for up to 5 figures just two years ago. You can now get this convenience starting at $400/room plus installation.

Music enhances our lives, improves productivity and provides great atmosphere for entertaining. If you'd like to find a new way to enjoy music, give us a call and we'll demo the system for you at our San Diego office.
