What Do You Need for an Epic Media Room?

A World of Display Options

Because media rooms often pull double duty as living rooms, installing a projector and screen isn’t always practical. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck when it comes to an immersive picture. Ultra-short throw projectors are a great alternative for a life-size picture in a flexible space. These compact projectors sit just inches from the wall atop your media cabinet and project an impressive 100+ inch display. Enjoy 4K HDR models that produce a super bright picture for rooms with lots of ambient light.

TVs are undoubtedly a common choice for media rooms because of their ease of installation and ultrabright displays. The latest 4K and 8K models offer impressively large and detailed images from 55 inches to 86+ inches to bring your movies, sports, and TV shows to life. Choose a display that transforms into artwork to blend with your décor when turned off or make it the center of attention with custom-color LED backlighting. Motorized mounts can also adjust your TV to the most comfortable viewing position.

Discreet Yet Powerful Audio

If you want serious audio to go along with your display, you’ll need a better solution than the speakers that live inside your TV. Consider a soundbar to install below your display. Avidia delivers high-fidelity soundbars that feature Dolby Atmos surround sound, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth compatibility, auto-tuning and speech-enhancing technology, and voice control. We can also expand your soundbar with a wirelessly connected sub and surrounds for an even more immersive listening experience.

For powerful audio that stays hidden from sight, consider architectural speakers that install flush with your walls and ceilings. These barely-visible speakers feature independently pivoting tweeters so that they can be installed where they look and fit best while directing perfectly balanced, high-fidelity audio for all your media. You’ll hardly notice these small aperture speakers that blend right in with your downlight fixtures.

Total Room Control

A media room can’t be truly epic if it’s a hassle to control. Instead of messing with a pile of remotes for all your electronics, let Avidia integrate all your technology within a Control4 home automation system that puts total-room control within a single platform. Command everything in your media room using just a mobile app, a universal remote, a wall touch panel, or voice commands.

Custom scenes like “Movie Night” or “Game Time” can adjust your media room accordingly. Not only can a button tap power on all your electronics and call up your favorite streaming service, but it can also adjust your lights, motorized shades, and thermostat. Tap “Movie Night” and watch the lights dim, shades lower, and temperature cool down as you get comfortable on the couch. Even after you’ve left the media room, you can use the Control4 mobile app to quickly check that everything is powered off.

Have more fun at home this winter and in every season with an epic media room that offers the perfect entertainment escape for the whole family.
