Smart” devices and components with Ethernet, data, or WiFi connects are able to receive content over the internet; giving you access to an endless supply of music and movies through services like Pandora, Spotify and Netflix to name a few. Many devices will also stream music and movies from your computer to dedicated end points as well.

One of our core beliefs at TK Audio Video, and one that we share with our clients and audiophiles all over the world, is that reproduction of musical recordings through an audio system should be faithful to the original and the artist’s intent. This means that when listening to a song through an audio system, it should sound and feel as if you’re in the room with them while they were playing. We want to bring the music to life. It’s a simple concept but not easy to do. Designing a performance audio system is a delicate balancing act of components, speakers, room acoustics and budget.

The custom installation process typically starts with an onsite consultation. During the consultation we will discuss your needs, the system budget, and the overall goals of the project. Because every room is built differently, our installers need to evaluate how to properly integrate the equipment with your room’s construction characteristics. This step includes everything from evaluating technical considerations (such as wiring and room structure) to studying a room’s aesthetic and acoustic environment. Ultimately, this information allows us to custom design the system and put together a proposal. We often demonstrate much of the equipment in the proposal here at the store.

For clients who are building or have new and open construction - the next step is usually the rough in/prewire portion of the job. During this stage of the process, we install wiring, rough-in brackets, and any necessary infrastructure. The finish work gets scheduled once all other construction has been completed. We are typically one of the last companies to be on-site. The finish work includes installation of any remaining equipment, system calibration and optimization, as well as a tutorial for the client.

A home theater provides a theater-like experience in your home. But what exactly does that entail? The quick answer is, there's no quick answer. A home theater can be as simple as a few AV devices in your living room or as complex as a completely renovated basement designed to look like a Theater. At its core, a home theater system should provide a high-quality video experience and an immersive audio experience that breathe life into your favorite movies, but a number of roads can lead to that destination. This primer offers a general overview of the basic home theater ingredients--from the AV equipment to the seating to the other room elements that can shape your perfect home theater.

A Home Theater sound system starts with the most basic surround sound speaker system consisting of 5.1 channels. The "5" stands for speakers in the front left, center, front right, rear right, and rear left positions, while the ".1" belongs to a subwoofer that helps flesh out the bass for explosions and other low-end effects. Some home theater installers recommend the use of multiple subwoofers to help deliver smoother bass response across a wider listening area. It's also popular to go with a seven-channel speaker system, which uses two side-channel and two rear-channel speakers for a more complete surround experience. The latest trend is 3D audio, in which formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X add an overhead sound element that provides an even more immersive audio experience.
