Turn Your Refund into Fun!
We all love that day. A check in the mail from Uncle Sam. I can personally relate because it’s a time for me to look into new projects and discover what’s new in the tech industry. Whether its a 2-channel speaker system which could be used for a variety of purposes, an outdoor speaker system, all the way to home automation, there’s something for everyone.
So let’s face it, the way we watch, listen and interact with our media systems have changed drastically in the last few years. Internet-connected equipment including door locks, temperature control, audio/video, lighting, shades, security and even pool control are sweeping the nation. And don’t get me started on voice control, that’s a topic for a different day! Automation systems like Elan and Control4 are the backbone to connected devices. With an app via any smart device, you can control each device with ease. The beauty of it? It’s expandability. Start with one room and add rooms or devices at your own pace! It’s the best way to build an infrastructure that will house the inevitable rise of connected electronics so they work in harmony.

Multi-Room audio is changing the way we listen to music. It’s never been easier to control what you’re listening to from smart devices most of us have today. Streaming services such as Pandora, Spotify, SiriusXM radio and many more are giving listeners an almost endless amount of music right at their fingertips. TuneIn radio gives you local, national and even international FM/AM radio stations. No static, no white noise, clean clear digital radio. To achieve multi-room audio, there, of course, must be a speaker(s) in the room. There are a few ways to go about it. If you’re framing your house, running speaker wire and other types of A/V wires to have in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, it’s your best bet. If your house is already sheetrocked, our professional installation team will guide wires inside the wall with minimal to no mess. In-wall and In-ceiling speakers’ grill can be painted to match the décor of your room, no wires to be seen. Driven by an amp controlled by a streamer (in which there are many, see below), they can sound as good as the traditional box style speaker and can be used for a complete surround sound system.
The alternate root is to have a plug-in, networked speaker(s) throughout your house. But there is a caveat. These types of speakers still require power to operate, and really are not aesthetically appealing. That said, they can be used in the right situation. There are many Wi-Fi and networked streamers out there, such as Sonos, BluSound, Heo’s and Play-Fi just to name a few. Each has its own sound, operation, and compatibility. Some can support High-Resolution audio with accurate reproduction; some can be used as background music with good sound quality. They all operate from your Wi-Fi system, which vastly increases the amount of data instead of being sent by Bluetooth, giving you much richer sound. There are usually different sizes of networked speakers, some for smaller rooms, some for serious listening. You can group them together, or separately and play music in one room or speaker, and play something completely different giving you great flexibility. You have complete control of your audio, with ease.
So there it is, a brief insight into home audio.
It’s changing the way we live!
Welcome to the JS Audio Video Blog!
By now, you must have heard of at least some of these buzzwords high-end electronic manufactures are using in their advertising. 4K UHD, HDR, OLED, 10-bit panels, quad-core processors, 4:4:4 color, and so many more. But what do they all mean? Better yet, what do they mean to the person who either wants to invest in a whole home automation system, or the person who just wants an amazing picture, stunning audio and an easy way to control everything? In the next few blog posts, I am going to explain the in’s and out’s of most of these features and how they affect the ever evolving world of technology we all seem to find ourselves in. Being informed on these new technologies is going to help you make a smarter buying decision, which you won’t regret in the long run.
