The Dedicated Home Theater
If you and your family are dedicated movie buffs that head to the theaters every chance you get, a dedicated home theater may be the right choice for you. With today’s current technology, you can experience the same, if not better, acoustics, picture quality, and comfort as the top theaters in the area.
Did someone say CMX Cinébistro? The same elevated movie-going experience such as oversized leather seats, Dolby Atmos surround sound, and Ultra HD 4K digital projection can all be experienced in your own home.
And that’s what a dedicated home theater is all about—the ultimate movie-watching experience. It’s dark, soundproof, and acoustically designed to absorb sound waves instead of letting them reverberate and bounce off the walls. So leave the smartphones in the kitchen; it's movie night like you've never experienced it before.
The Media Room
Is it difficult for your family and friends to sit through a whole movie without extended kitchen breaks, long conversations, and a simultaneous game of Uno, backgammon, or Jenga? In that case, a social media room may be your answer. This multipurpose room has all the makings of great entertainment with the same high-end home theater equipment but without the reclining seats and dark, windowless room.
Do you have a sports enthusiast at home or a video game aficionado? They’ll appreciate the flexibility found in a media room.
Because a media room is used for different gatherings and activities, the equipment may not be so bold and in your face but hidden from view until the time arrives for movie or game night.
For instance, a dedicated home theater may have large beautiful speakers installed throughout the room. In contrast, superb sound in a media room may come from invisible speakers installed in walls and ceilings. When it's time for movie night, your large flat-screen TV descends from the ceiling, or the framed painting that looks like fine art morphs into a smart TV before your eyes.
When combined with smart home technology, the possibilities are truly startling. With just one touch of the button on your tablet or smartphone, the motorized blackout shades descend, the picture of mountains and streams turns into a 4K smart TV, the music turns on, and the lights dim. Now, all you need to do is get the popcorn.
Are you wondering which entertainment solution might be right for your home? Our personal and professional technology advisor will be happy to look at your unique situation and come up with a plan that is just right for you and your family.
