Your home is your one reliable escape from the outside world, and your favorite entertainment plays a big part in that. Once upon a time, that meant families congregated around a radio to listen to the latest show; now they come together for Netflix marathons. Seamlessly escape after a tough day at work with a home audio video system that makes it easy for you to enjoy movies, music and TV shows. From easy access to discreet systems, check out the many benefits a custom solution can bring to your Highland Park, Illinois home.

Make Access Easy with Multi-Source Rooms

A home audio video system lets you centralize control of your entertainment through the use of multi-source rooms. These rooms have access to multiple audio and video sources, even those not physically in the room. We install matrix switchers within your AV system that transport your audio and video content from its source to the room of your choice.

Settle in after a hard day of work then pull up a tablet or smartphone to find the show or movie you want to watch. Through an intuitive user interface, choose the room you're in and the source component you want to use. Finish up the show you were watching, then pick out music to play in the background during dinner. You can do it all from the same menu. No need to shuffle through different remotes or deal with a confusing universal remote.

Your Living Room

Many rooms in your home serve multiple functions.

For a party, have your favorite playlist streaming from discreet KEF in-wall speakers. This way you show off both your beautiful décor as well as your technology without having them clash. When you want to watch television, have your TV emerge from behind a piece of art at the press of a button. Access the music, movies or TV shows of your choice from a touchpad, tablet or smartphone.

Blog-How-Can-You-Get-The-Most-Out-of-Your-Streaming-Services_1b37010ecd363566f442b9d0472f2f19

The convenience of streamed content has changed the way we interact with our favorite entertainment. You don’t have to sift through a DVD or CD collection to find something to enjoy with the family. Through services like Spotify and Netflix, you have thousands of options at the touch of a button. But even with convenience being its biggest calling card, streaming can come with its own set of drawbacks from limited outlets to slow loading. Want to learn how to get the most out of these services in your Lake Forest, Illinois home? Find how a home audio video system can do the trick.

Simplify Access to Your Entertainment

The reason we enjoy streamed services is that they give us instant gratification. Why not take it a step further by putting all these services under one roof? Through an audio/video distribution system that incorporates all your services, you can easily play your favorite song or movie anywhere in your home from your phone, tablet or touchpad.

The Crestron App, for example, allows you to incorporate third-party services such as Netflix and Pandora. Pull up the Netflix App within the system to pick which movie you want to watch and where you want to watch it. You don’t even have to be in the same room! Take control of your children’s entertainment. Remotely play cartoons in their room and turn them off when it’s time for bed.
