Discover the Secrets of One of the Valley’s Top Audio-Visual Companies

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 Ultimate Outdoor Oasis

As people embrace outdoor living, backyards have become much more than a patio and lounge chairs around the pool. Today, they are extensions of the home, incorporating similar comforts. One of the experiences at the forefront of today’s backyard transformation is the outdoor entertainment system.

Do you remember the outdoor movie screens that were barely visible in daylight and delivered grainy images at night? Those have transformed into 4K UHD displays that offer brighter and better picture quality than many indoor TVs. How about the one-directional outdoor speaker that brought uneven coverage throughout the outdoor space? Today, concert-quality music in your backyard is a reality.

Today, the possibilities in outdoor entertainment are virtually limitless. Here, we’ll explore the top five features to consider when choosing an outdoor entertainment system for your Scottsdale, AZ, home.

Awe-Inspiring Music and Sound from an Unseen Source

One of the most popular systems we install at Audio Video Excellence is whole-home audio. These systems deliver breathtaking, high-fidelity music throughout homes in Scottsdale, AZ. Press a button, and one room or your entire house fills with crystal-clear, detailed sound.

One of the main traits our clients share is the desire to experience this transformational audio, but they are apprehensive about its effects on their home’s design. Does it require unsightly speakers in every room, along with bulky audio equipment? 

The good news is that you can enjoy awe-inspiring sound throughout your home, whether listening to your favorite songs, tuning into a podcast, or enjoying Friday movie night with the family. Sonance, the creators of architectural speakers, developed Sonance Invisible Speakers, allowing pure, high-performance music to fill your home from an unseen source.

Let’s see how it’s done.

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.
