1. Hide Everything

Buy a basic speaker from a store, take it home and then you have to figure out where it goes. First, you locate an outlet to plug in the speaker but if you don’t have a table or a shelf you have to re-arrange your furniture. Then there are those ugly wires. You saw an ad online for this cool, hip speaker but it doesn’t look the same in your bedroom. When it comes time to have friends over for a party, you discover you can’t play the same song in every room at the same time to provide the music at the same level throughout the house. All of these issues are confronted with a whole house system.

One of the best features of a professionally designed system is the ability to make your speakers disappear. We can install invisible speakers in the walls, or place them in the ceiling so they save space and get those wires out of the way. Either style will eliminate clutter and enhance your home design.

2. Control Your Music Anytime, Anywhere

Most individuals make convenience a top priority when it comes to music—that's why digital music sales have skyrocketed over the past decade. However, our team will work with you to connect all of your music sources whether your library is entirely digital, you're a die-hard vinyl collector, or simply can't let go of that coveted CD collection. The beauty of using an integrated music system is that you can easily switch music sources using a mobile device or touch screen. Stream internet radio, like Spotify and Pandora, then switch over to your iTunes account or turntable. All you have to do is select the source, playlist or artist, the room, and then press play using your smartphone, tablet, or smart touch screen.

3. Fine-tune Your Listening Experience

Have you every walked into a room and got blasted with sound in one corner, but then barely heard the song when you took five more steps in another direction? If you want evenly distributed sound, you need a professional to design the right layout for your North Carolina home. The benefit is you'll be able to walk from the front door to your bedroom and the song you are listening to will be playing at the same volume and clarity the whole time. With no design limitations, you can install speakers throughout your home. This allows you to build distinct music zones so each member of the family gets the most out of their favorite entertainment without disrupting others. The Integrated Home combines sound masking and acoustic treatments to create a space primed to get the most out of your audio setup. For example, your daughter can watch a movie in the media room while you listen to your favorite singer in the kitchen and neither soundtrack will interfere with the other. Each of our installations is customized to your unique needs and home dimensions, so the audio will be fine-tuned to each space.
