Araknis WiFi access points, switches and routers make for a fantastic Internet experience

"AAAAARGGH!" Here's a quote we hear a lot lately from people that hate their wireless networks.  In actuality, wireless Internet is NEVER the preferred medium and you want to go with a hard-wired connection when possible. However, the convenience of wireless is tough to beat and has become more and more popular. To ensure good wireless performance in your house:  

1) CHOOSE A QUALITY WIRELESS ROUTER

The wireless router supplied by the cable company is rarely a good choice. Selecting a better router from companies like Apple, Luxul or Ruckus will make a BIG difference in your range, speed and capabilities. Our client Marlena had us change out her cable-supplied router for a better one yesterday and just e-mailed us with "Having WiFi all over the house is amazing". Quality routers make for a quality network as long as they are optimized correctly. Read on.

2) OPTIMIZE YOUR NETWORK

As more and more devices become wireless, all of these competing devices make it increasingly difficult to get a quality wireless signal. This can cause websites to take a long time to load, streaming services like Netflix or Amazon to drop out or other computer issues. Did you also know that your neighbor's network and devices can affect how things work in your home? Sound scary...no problem! Our technicians are trained to delve deep into your network to ensure that issues such as competing wireless channels, 2.4 Ghz noise, insufficient network speeds from the provider, etc. are dealt with promptly and accurately so that your wireless network ROCKS!

Martin Logan Motion 50XT center channel - San Diego home theater installation

Have you ever been watching a movie and asked the person next to you, "What did the guy say?" The way that movies are mastered in the studio and then transferred to DVD/Blu-Ray can make it hard to hear voices unless you have your surround sound system turned up to 11. Here's what we did to improve a client's audio/video system so it sounded MUCH better.

1) ADD A CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER

This client had an existing stereo set-up with a pair of speakers. They didn't opt to go with surround sound initially as there was nowhere in the rear of the room to add speakers.The room is open and has lots of echo so voices on TV/Blu-Rays were bring distorted. Our team added a center channel speaker from Martin Logan (Martin Logan Motion 50XT) to focus the vocals directly to the listening area. This speaker is characterized by extremely clean treble and mid-range and we felt it would do well to enhance the clarity of voices, speech and center effects.

2) OPTIMIZE THE SYSTEM

Many of today's audio/video receivers have multiple ways to calibrate the audio settings. This is VERY important to provide better sound. In this home theater installation, we had to tweak the volume to match the existing system in addition to adjusting the EQ for the center channel to match the tonal balance of the left/right speakers. NOTE: Many surround sound receivers don't have this feature. Choose wisely or talk to our salespeople about what receiver is right for your application. Once we adjusted the center EQ, the difference in sound was mind-blowing.

Our client could now hear vocals clearly and it seemed like there was an entire wall of sound across the front of the room. The difference in sound was night-and-day and it only took us about an hour. PROBLEM SOLVED!

San Diego Dolby Atmos Home Theater

Today at Aire Theater Designs we had the privilege of giving one of our customers an awesome theater room.  We installed a 100” Dragonfly projection screen, three on-wall Definitive Technology Mythos XTR-60 speakers (for front left, front right and center channels),  four in-ceiling Definitive Technology DI 6.5S ( for surround and front presence channels), two on-wall Definitive Technology XTR-20BP bipolar surround speakers (for surround back channel) and a Definitive Technology Supercube 2000 (subwoofer).  We powered the system with a Yamaha RXA-2040 audio/video receiver that comes with the ability to do Dolby Atmos. This surround format is the latest and greatest in today’s surround sound.

There are only a few movie theaters in San Diego that have the ability to accomplish Dolby Atmos. Having it in your house where you can watch movies in complete comfort is the best! Dolby Atmos provides a level of realism that previous formats can’t duplicate.  For example, when watching a movie with gunfire you can literally hear the bullets flying by your head and passing over behind you.  The sounds in a film that you should be hearing above you…….you actually do!  It makes the whole movie experience incredibly immersive.

Don’t feel left out if you have a 5.1 surround sound system.  With a few modifications we could get your surround sound system upgraded to Dolby Atmos quality. We love movies so we will be retrofitting our showroom for Atmos shortly to let you hear the difference that Atmos can make in your home. Love movies too? Come visit San Diego's home of the latest technology (and soon Dolby Atmos) at Aire Theater Designs.

What would you call two Sonos PLAY1 units? Sonoses? Sonosii? Two Sonos PLAY1s? I'm not sure what to call them aside from good sounding! Here's a couple lines from our installer Shon who just set up a couple. P.S. Sonos is running a special where you save $50.00 if you buy a bundle pack of two PLAY1 units. Ask Shon or a member of our sales staff for details.

"Today I installed two Sonos Play1’s in a 10’x10’ kitchen.  It sounded good as usual. With the Sonos phone app I was then able to change the two speakers to stereo and WOW...it really changed the sound by separating the music and really filled the room. I demoed some jazz and the horns and the drums seemed to come from opposite ends of the Kitchen! It sounded REALLY fantastic.

The client then asked if I could put one of the speakers in another room. With the app I was able to easily remove the mode for one room (two speakers simultaneously playing in stereo) and change it to a mode that is best if you want music in two separate rooms. What a cool feature!  Sonos: Easy to move, control volume and pause with app, group all or some rooms and get all the music streaming you can imagine. Sonos: Easily add more speakers like the Playbar, the Sonos SUB for BIG BASS or 3 different sizes of speakers in a good/better/best set-up. Yep, I’m a fan and will have Two Please (in Stereo)."
