Summary of Services:
Distributed Audio (Music):
Distributed audio allows you and your family to listen to music throughout your house without having equipment in every room. We are essentially filling your house with sound. You can choose from radio, CD, iPod/mp3, even audio from your television. The centralized components can even be hidden away in a closet. Our systems range from volume controls to full control and feedback on a keypad. Systems can be designed to play one music source thru the whole house to playing different sources in each room. For example, you can be listening to the Satellite radio in the living room while another family member is listening to a CD in the kitchen.
In addition to listening to music throughout the house, video can be sent throughout your house. You could watch a DVD, DVR or TiVo, or any video source in any and every room in your house. You are able to pause the movie and pick it up in another room, giving you unimaginable flexibility. All of this also allows you to put all of your cable/satellite boxes in a closet or in the basement and keep your house clean of clutter.
Home Theater / Surround Sound:
Your home theater can be as simple as a television in your living room with surround sound or as big as a dedicated room with a front projection television and 7.1 surround sound. Either way, Davis Audio & Video can help you design and build a system that is intuitive and easy to use. We will help you discover the perfect solution for you home.
Structured Wiring & Pre-Wiring:
The single most essential item is wiring. Structured wiring refers to the telephone, cable/satellite, and network wiring. Pre-wiring refers to audio, video and control wiring. A properly wired house gives you the maximum number of options for your home into the foreseeable future. Over a decade of experience has taught us that proper locations and wire paths are essential components to wiring.
From a handheld remote control to an an in-wall touch panel, the control is what you and your family will have the most contact with. This is why it must be intuitive and easy-to-use. From babysitters to grandparents, guests should have no problem using your system (turn on the TV and/or watch a DVD). Based on your needs and budget, Davis Audio & Video will find the best solution for your home.
A lighting control system will allow you to control the lights in your house in a way like never before. It will help you set the perfect mood for any room. A lighting control system, if installed during construction, will allow for minimal banks of light switches. Instead of having banks of light switches, you can have a simple keypad.
At Davis Audio & Video our philosophy is if you can’t use it or figure it out, we did not do our job. We design all of our systems to be as simple as possible. Remotes are one button operation. We do the thinking for you. There is no need for all of the extra remotes that come with all of the equipment. When you come home and want to watch TV, there is no reason you need to think about all of the steps to turn the system on. We do the thinking for you. So sit back, recline in your chair and enjoy.
