Enhancing your Super Bowl Experience

The Super Bowl is almost here. Have you considered what it will take to enhance your Game Day experience? As the countdown to America’s biggest annual event in the world of sports continues to shorten, will you have the ability to experience all the sights and sounds that it offers? From the crashing and banging of helmets and pads, coaches yelling from the sidelines, and the fans cheering throughout the stadium to a halftime show like no other in the history of the NFL. It would be a travesty to ignore your home entertainment system!

19 Days, 04 Hours, 29 Minutes, and the countdown continues. February 7, 2016, will be one of the most historic events in the history of the NFL. This year’s Super Bowl marks the Golden Anniversary of America’s most anticipated annual NFL event. With music legends from Beyoncé to Coldplay, you cannot afford to go without a home entertainment system to enhance an experience like this. It is a once-in-a-lifetime-only event.

Retrofitting your Home for Entertainment

Reinvent your world with audio visuals that will transform the way you live. Whether you are looking to add the experience of listening to music anywhere in your home, transform an extra room into a dedicated home theater, or simply want to discover what it is like to have the impact a dedicated home theater delivers in the comfort of your own living room there is always a way to retrofit new technology into your existing home.

Home Wiring: Technology and Infrastructure

Taking the proper steps to plan for tomorrow’s technologies is the right way to focus your attention during a retrofit. Your home can be a space with ultra-high definition video interactive gaming and a built-in outdoor entertainment system ready to rock your block, depending on your needs. Creating your home’s infrastructure will include everything you want today and everything you might add in the future. With the proper infrastructure, your home will have the latest in home networking, entertainment, automation, and control, giving you the comfort and enjoyment you deserve.

Distributed Audio: Music, Anywhere

Distributed audio can be considered a way to fill your entire home with music. Whether you are building a new home, embarking on a renovation, or simply want to add a whole-house audio system to your living space, it is important to understand that no two systems are alike. Home audio can be distributed via a single-source single zone, single-source multiple zone, or multiple-source multiple zone, depending on your unique needs.

Single Source, Single Zone Home Audio System

The single-source, single-zone audio system distributes audio to only one room from the same source. This is a very basic system in that it only allows music in one room from one single source and, when installed properly, only requires one single amplifier to power the speakers in one room. This type of setup is very limited and not optimal for music lovers and those who enjoy entertaining guests.

Single Source, Multiple Zone Home Audio System

The single-source, multiple-zone audio system distributes audio similarly to the single-source, single-zone system, given that music is distributed from only one source. However, unlike the single-source, single-zone system, this allows you to play the same music in multiple rooms. For this type of system to work correctly, separate volume controls are installed in each room to allow for volume control or simply turning the speakers on or off.

It is essential to note that each volume control needs impedance matching to ensure the amplifier never gets overloaded. While this type of system differs from the single source, single zone system, the designs are very similar. For example, all rooms must still listen to the same music. That means there is no control over the type of music you listen to in each room unless you move to a multiple-zone, multiple-source system.

Multiple Source, Multiple Zone Distributed Audio System

Simply the best design for rocking out anywhere in your home from any source your heart desires. Entertaining guests? Start with music where you dine, then move it to the spa for a glass of wine. The multiple source, multiple zone system is the most flexible and advanced system for listening to music where you want and when you want.

With a multiple-source, multiple-zone system, you can distribute different types of music to every room in your home using various sources. To fully understand why this type of system differs from the others mentioned, imagine it like this: Sources consist of many different devices, and zones consist of many rooms. Depending on your lifestyle, you may have children and your parents living with you in a casita built for them. The chances of you listening to the same music could be better!

With a multiple source, multiple zone system, everyone in your home can play the type of music that suits them. They control their sources and volume; you will never have to hear someone say to change that music again. It sounds the way you want it, where you want it, and when you want it.
