For those of you who have been to an IMAX theater, you know it’s one of the most immersive cinematic experiences available. The images envelop you with unparalleled brightness, clarity, and detail. The sounds are more realistic - from the rumbling bass in action sequences to the delicate rustling of leaves.

If you haven’t yet been to an IMAX theater, you owe it to yourself to visit one. And if you want to experience that enveloping true-to-life cinematic experience at home, check in with the premier home theater company serving Fountain Hills, AZ. At Wipliance, we take the time to understand our clients’ visions of their home theater, throw in some ideas they may not have known about, and then make it a reality. Let’s explore the possibilities.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has provided the largest global stage for innovative new products and technologies for over 50 years. A few of the categories we pay close attention to every year include audio and video, home entertainment, and smart home and appliances. This year’s 2022 event was once again filled with incredible inventions in these areas and others. A few of the mentionable items include Cambridge Audio’s high-end turntable, a Smart kitchen faucet by Moen, and Mark Levinson’s first headphones. 

It was a solid year for the audio-video industry, with high-quality, or should we say “higher-quality,” TVs and large displays taking center stage. As a premier home theater company and automated solutions provider serving Seattle, WA, we partner with the top companies in the industry. To say we were excited to see the remarkable technologies unfolding, especially among two of our favorite brands, is an understatement.

Let’s look at what the two leaders in electronics and entertainment are offering the world in high-end, cinematic-quality TVs and sound in 2022. 

Based in France, Focal has been known for audio innovation and its dedication to acoustics since its beginnings in 1979. They design, manufacture, and assemble almost all of their products at their Saint-Etienne factory. Because of their attention to detail and dedication, they’ve created what many consider one of the best high-fidelity loudspeakers in the world—the Grande Utopia. 

In 2021, Focal came out with their new 1000 Series—a customized audio solution for home theaters and hi-fi setups that takes audio to a whole new level, producing an unrivaled level of performance. As a home audio specialist, Wipliance is excited to share what this means for home theater and hi-fi enthusiasts in Seattle, WA.

When planning for a home theater installation, it’s easy to spend most of your time thinking about the display and speakers. After all, you can’t have a home theater without picture and sound. But these elements are only two of a multitude of others that make a home theater truly epic.

The truth is that even the biggest display and most powerful speakers can’t outperform a poor home theater design. If you want an awesome theater room in your Phoenix, AZ home, don’t overlook the following design elements that are critical to the comfort and performance of your home theater.

Home theaters and media rooms have been around for a long time, and the technologies powering them have seen significant change. Video, audio, and control technologies have made significant improvements, and sometimes we forget how far they have come.

The home theater of a dozen years ago might be equipped with a Blu-ray player as a primary source of high-quality movie content. Today, while many still use this, it’s more popular to stream video in excellent quality from Netflix, Amazon Video, Vudu, and a host of other online services. In audio, surround sound was just beginning to go beyond the standard 5.1 surround setup with a front stage and two surround speakers. And with video, high definition 1080P was the standard resolution, just entering its growth phase as people replaced older standard definition TVs and projectors.

Fast forward to today, and we now have not only 4K but 8K resolution available, immersive Dolby Atmos audio, and supremely intuitive control systems. Let’s explore how you can update your media or home theater design in your Scottsdale, AZ, home to elevate your entertainment experience.

You’ve wanted a dedicated space in your Seattle home for movies and shows for a while, and you’re finally ready to take on the project. Maybe you’ve purchased some gear, picked out couches online, and already have a lineup of films you’re going to enjoy once the setup is complete.

But before you get started on your media room or home theater design, be sure to steer clear of the following common design mistakes if you really want a high-performance and immersive entertainment room. And if you begin to feel overwhelmed, don’t worry—our home theater experts are here to help.
