Spouse and Child-Approved Whole Home Audio for the Family

Once upon a time, audio was fairly simple. You turned on the radio, tuned a station, and adjusted the volume. Or perhaps you put a record on the turntable, pressed a button, and the arm lowered to play the music. While those simple pleasures can still be had, it seems like the digital age has brought more complexity to the listening experience. Now, it’s Pandora or Tidal? TuneIn for radio? How do I get the speakers in the living room to play?

Granted, we have far more capable audio systems today. And if you have a Control4 whole-house audio setup, you have a world of sound at your beck and call. However, the trouble is that some whole-home sound systems can be a little complicated to use. We know of a few people who would rather listen on a Bluetooth speaker (gasp!) because the fancy whole-home system is just a bit too hard to fathom.

Control4, the smart home company, set out to change all that. With the latest Control4 OS 3, they reimagined how a whole-house audio system should operate – in other words, they designed it for actual humans! Read on to see just how easy a house-wide audio system in your Charlotte, NC abode can be with Contro4.

Build the Best Home Speaker System for Your Charlotte, NC, House

What makes certain speakers superior in quality than others? Why do audiophiles adore some brands while others aren’t worthy of being touched by a ten-foot pole? Don’t all speakers do essentially the same thing?

No, not all speakers are the same. Like a fine wine or new iPhone model, some speakers deliver far more excellent results than others. The best speakers can play an even frequency response, which means low, mid, and high-range frequencies are balanced, and each sound frequency recorded can be reproduced. This is actually very difficult to achieve.

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on the impressive home speaker system brand James Loudspeaker. Their soundbars, subwoofers, and architectural speakers can blend into your Charlotte, NC, home interior. And controlled through one smart system, you’ll access and enjoy music more often than ever. Read on to learn what sets James Loudspeaker apart.
