Sony 4K HDR Projector

Our team at Wipliance loves Sony home theater products. For decades, Sony has been creating professional-grade electronics for the home that truly connect content creators to their audience. Homeowners can enjoy their favorite movies and shows the way they were meant to be enjoyed with Sony’s premium line of receivers, 4K HDR projectors and TVs, and more.

We’ll focus on Sony projectors for now, but you can learn more about our Sony offerings here. Sony’s lineup of 4K HDR projectors sets the standard when it comes to vibrant color, dynamic detail, and pristine picture definition. Their proprietary 4K SXRD™ panel and Reality Creation technologies ensure spectacular brightness and the highest possible contrast ratio, and their compatibility with IMAX Enhanced content makes them ready to deliver bigger, more breathtaking IMAX visuals in compatible content. No matter the size of your home theater, Sony offers a flexible solution for any space.

Dolby Atmos Technology

Dolby Atmos technology has revolutionized content makers’ creative freedom to design movie and show soundtracks with unprecedented realism and precision. With Dolby Atmos, sound escapes from channels, allowing it to be precisely placed around you, including overhead, to create an immersive and multidimensional listening experience.

You can bring this revolutionary auditory experience to your home with a Dolby Atmos-enabled receiver and Dolby Atmos-compatible content. A surround sound system consisting of a subwoofer and five or more speakers should be sufficient, but we can always assess your speaker installation to make changes where needed. Because overhead sound is a vital contributor to the Dolby Atmos experience, it’s critical that your surround sound system include discrete ceiling-mounted speakers. Dolby-enabled up-firing speakers that reflect sound off the ceiling could be an alternative where built-in speakers are not feasible.

Control4 Room Control

A truly impressive home theater system is made up of many parts that need to be turned on and adjusted when you’re ready to watch a movie. What’s the point of having a stellar home theater system that’s a hassle to control? A Control4 home automation system solves this problem by integrating all the technology in your home theater to work in harmony with a single controller.

Walk in and press a button on your preferred Control4 device to dim the lights, adjust the thermostat, lower the shades, and power on your home theater system. You can use a voice command, the Control4 Neeo remote, a dedicated tablet, or your smartphone. Control4 will even respond appropriately to distractions by pausing the movie for you when someone rings your doorbell. Want to get a snack? Pressing pause will automatically brighten your lights too so you can exit safely.
