AUDIO & VIDEO
Custom integration of audio & video can enrich our lives in ways that make living a joy and a pleasure.
Going to the movie theater used to be the only way to experience a movie the way the studio intended it, but today's home theater systems have evolved to allow an even better experience from the comfort of your own home. While a dedicated home theater room can truly recreate the movie-going experience, today’s technology can bring the theater experience to nearly any room in your house and even outdoors. Enjoy 4K high-definition video and enjoy the simplicity to control all of your content such as Netflix, Hulu, satellite, cable, and more all from a single remote. We can even dim the lights and start the popcorn!

Distributed Audio With multiple zones of audio throughout your home, visitors and family members can each listen to the programming of their choice. But then when it’s time for the party, you can tie all the zones together and fill your house with sound. Using either local volume controls or integrated control through a smartphone, listening to your music has never been easier. You can access streaming services like Pandora and Spotify, or listen your own music library and playlists through a networked audio system. Speakers in the distributed rooms are carefully coordinated with their surroundings to provide an appealing visual presentation and can be placed strategically for maximum audio enjoyment.

Performance Audio The sound, the song, the roar, the whispered word… Audio. It’s what takes you there. Call us old-fashioned, but we believe in a time when you listened to music laying on the floor in front of a pair of high fidelity speakers, not through two teeny, weeny little ear buds. We believe in watching a movie with the sound quality the director intended you to hear, not through tin-like computer speakers. If you believe in quality audio, we have several options, at several price points, to fill your home with sound as it was meant to be heard.

Audio/Visual Calibration Audio/visual calibration involves fine-tuning the video processor in your television and sharpening the sound issued by your audio system, to levels that perfectly match the acoustics and the visual dispersion in your room. This generally involves test equipment for each system, used to produce the crispest color from your television, and the sharpest sound from your audio system. Since A/V equipment is rarely factory-set to optimum levels for the environment they will reside in, audio/visual calibration can be extremely beneficial for equipment, and thus for the people watching and listening.

Hidden Audio/Video The great thing about a hidden A/V system is that it allows your television and sound system to become the featured component in the room only when you want to use them. When you're not watching television, playing games, or entertaining neighbors with a movie, the press of a remote button can conceal the TV screen behind some artwork or inside a cabinet.
-
Outdoor Entertainment Audio/Video The current trend of extending household living to the outdoors can be easily accommodated with an outdoor entertainment system. Music, video, and lighting systems can all be configured to blend in optimally with outdoor surroundings, and the equipment itself is able to withstand the elements without damage or degradation. There's nothing quite like relaxing in an outdoor setting, with the perfect music system set up right within the confines of your backyard, on your patio, or around your swimming pool. You can also watch movies or television while enjoying the fresh air.

Universal Remotes If you've been in the same house long enough, you have probably accumulated a collection of remotes for controlling your television, stereo system, CD player, DVD player, and heaven knows what else. It can get to the point where you don't know which remote controls which system, and you're frantically pressing buttons on a remote that has no effect on the TV you're watching or the music you're listening to. With a universal remote, you can integrate all of your electronic systems, so that your video, audio, lighting, and more are all working together and controlled by one set of buttons. Nothing could be easier.

Acoustics Generally speaking, acoustics refers to how sound waves interact with all the objects in any given room. By this definition, it's easy to see that the acoustics will be different in every single room of a house, and in every house in the neighborhood. One of the most important practical considerations of acoustics is the placement of speakers, in terms of room location and the height at which they're positioned. The furnishings of a room also have a big impact on acoustics, because objects like draperies tend to absorb sound, whereas glass objects tend to reflect sound and disperse it fairly well. We make it our mission to position your speakers for best acoustic experience in any specific room.

Structured Wiring In order to meet the present and future standards in technology, Louisa's can wire your home or business to ensure the proper infrastructure is in place to support a wide array of evolving technology systems. We believe that just as every place must have electricity and running water, modern homes and buildings must be constructed with the fundamentals of technology in mind. We typically install a central "home run" structure panel in an appropriate mechanical area, out of the way. Cables supporting a variety of television and audio options, security, surveillance and networking configurations are run from the structure panel throughout the home or business, creating more reliable performance and cost-effective technology configurations.
