Spend More Time Outside with Audio and Video Designed for the Great Outdoors 

We've recently discussed the incredible world of home entertainment spaces and how smart home technology has transformed these areas. In this, our third installment, we’d like to take it outside and cover one of our great passions—outdoor audio-video. 

There’s something incredibly relaxing and almost life-changing when your outdoor area becomes an extension of your home. You spend time enjoying nature with friends and family, watching movies under the stars, or listening to your favorite musicians as music fills your landscape. 

We know it's February and the chilliest of days are not yet behind us in Salt Lake City, UT, or our neighboring communities. In fact, snow may very well be in the forecast. However, spring is approaching, and, really, what better time than now to dream about what the summer might bring.

Learn How to Turn Any Room into a Media Room

When compared to home theaters, the media room is a relatively new concept and owes part of its popularity to the rise in smart home automation. Today, homeowners can tap a button on an in-wall keypad or remote control and watch as their fine art painting transforms into a large 4K or 8K HDR TV and sound fills a room from speakers hidden from view. Now, any room in your Park City, UT, home can become a media room.

Fortunately, with the advancements in audio-video systems, a home theater can surpass the images, acoustics, and ambiance found at your favorite movie theater.

Let's look at how the latest technology transforms rooms into cinemas in Salt Lake City, UT, and the surrounding areas.
