Discover the Power of NAD and B&W

Home entertainment has exploded in the last few years, along with its quality and options. From home theaters to media rooms and outdoor entertainment meccas, the latest audio-video technology has transformed how we integrate today’s music, movies, and podcasts into our lives.

One of the possibilities growing in demand is home music systems, whether whole-home audio or a dedicated music room. These systems are designed for the ultimate listening experience—the kind that makes you stop, listen, and breathe.

At Audio Video Excellence, our AV experts custom-design luxury home entertainment systems using the latest audio-visual technology. As an audio-visual company serving Scottsdale, AZ, we’ve been fortunate to be in this remarkable industry for over 25 years, watching the landscape transform in ways once unimaginable.

Recently, we had the pleasure of designing and installing a whole-home audio system for one of our clients. Here, we’ll lay out the groundwork and some of the details that go into delivering high-quality music to every room. 

Creating the Ideal Lighting for Every Occasion 

Lighting affects nearly every aspect of our lives. Sunlight entering our eyes in the morning initiates the production of serotonin, the neurotransmitter largely responsible for enhancing our moods and, in conjunction with melatonin, regulating our sleep/wake cycle. 

In our homes, the lighting temperature and intensity significantly affect our energy and productivity levels. It also impacts the atmosphere in a room, creating a space that feels energized, relaxing, or uninspiring. The right lighting affects every occasion, from entertaining, dining, or working, enhancing or detracting from the moment. 

With today’s technology, lighting has become an essential interior design element. From full-spectrum illumination that offers every color in the visible light spectrum to fixtures that mirror the shifting sunlight outside your windows, the light within our homes has become a work of art.

But how do you manage this level of illumination? That’s where the latest lighting control system comes in. Let’s explore how it’s redefining the light within our homes in Scottsdale, AZ.

Seamless Connectivity and Convenience for Your Lifestyle

Smart homes are everywhere these days, incorporating everything from thermostats you control with your smartphone to lights that you can adjust with just your voice. Have you ever wondered what makes all those smart devices work so easily together? The secret is in having a strong home network that keeps everything perfectly connected.

A professionally installed network ensures that your smart home operates seamlessly, offering convenience, security, and strong, reliable connectivity. Keep reading to learn how networking solutions benefit smart homes in Paradise Valley, AZ, and why having a professional set it up is so important.
