Choose Equipment Designed for Your Space

There’s a delicate dance to having a great viewing experience in a commercial theater: choose a seat up front and you spend the entire movie straining your neck looking up at the screen. Choose a seat too close to the edges and your focus is interrupted by flashes of light and slamming doors from people exiting and entering. And any spot is a gamble if the seats are uncomfortable or the movie is playing too loudly for enjoyment. 

In a dedicated home cinema, you won’t have to worry about any of these problems. The purpose of a custom home theater installation is to design and build a system that fits your space, which is why we recommend hiring a professional integrator like WSC Home Audio Video. Our experts can help you choose the right display type, sound system, lighting fixtures and theater-style seating for the size of your room.

Most importantly, our techs will calibrate your audio and video equipment to deliver the highest-quality performance because most video equipment isn’t calibrated for optimal brightness, contrast and color right out of the box. Additionally, we’ll apply acoustic treatments in the room to ensure even, high-fidelity sound performance.  

Watch All Your Favorite Media Sources

You’ll have access to several media sources in a dedicated home theater, including streaming services, digital libraries and Blu-ray discs. One of the major perks of having a home theater is that movie accessibility is at an all-time high. Major streaming companies like Netflix and Amazon are dedicating huge budgets and talented people to producing original movies that you can enjoy in top-notch quality on the big screen.

And for those of you who are bummed about missing this summer’s newest flicks in theaters, you may still be able to see them as they were meant to be seen — many production companies are releasing new movies straight to digital download.

Integrate an Intuitive Control System

Integrating a home automation system like Control4 gives you effortless control over all the functions in your home theater. You can adjust the climate, lighting and audio/video to your preferred settings from a smart device of your choice. Need a snack in the middle of the movie? Pause the movie on your smart device and turn the overhead lighting on to a soft, dim glow to find your way in and out without ruining the mood (and your eyes) with a bright, glaring light. 

You can also build automated scenes that set multiple actions in motion with one button tap on your smart device. Tap the “Movie Time” scene and the speakers turn on, the projector screen rolls down and the lights dim slowly as the movie starts playing.   

At WSC Home Audio Video, we can help you design, build and integrate the home theater of your dreams, tailored to your exact preferences and lifestyle.
