Enjoy control of your listening environment from any room you are in. You can experience quality sound without Bulky Speakers. In-Ceiling and In-Wall Speakers produce Superior Quality and Sound. There are many products on the market today, some of which are detailed below. We use a wide variety of professional line of products because every installation is custom engineered for your home.

Whole House Audio - One of the hottest products in the new construction market is distributed audio. Finally there is an alternative to the low fidelity of an intercom system. Today's in-wall or in-ceiling speaker options allow the distribution of audio throughout the home in high quality stereo sound. Because speakers are mounted flush in the wall or ceiling they can be easily camouflaged. If desired, the grills can be painted for a truly custom look.

Single Source, Multiple Rooms The most economical way to distribute audio to multiple rooms is to add volume controls and/or a room selector box. This provides the most cost effective solution that will often allow a customer to use their existing audio components.

Amplified Volume Controls This popular solution provides quality audio to be distributed throughout the house over Category 5 wire. This requires dedicated audio Category 5 runs that are separate from the standard voice and data cables. The limitless flexibility makes controlling a large number of rooms cost effective and easy to use. In addition, when IR (infrared) keypads are used, it is possible to use a remote control in one room and control the audio components on the other side of the house. You don't have to walk across the house to choose the next CD in a multi-disc player anymore! The amplified volume controls also have the added benefit of using an in-room audio source.. During the day the audio in an office could play from the whole house source. Drop a CD into the PC or fire up an MP3 player and the volume control will automatically begin to play the audio from the PC, using the quality built-in room speakers. The Local Source Module is a great way to share a single set of speakers.

Multiple Sources, Multiple Rooms For families with different audio tastes it is often desirable to listen to different audio sources simultaneously. Today's modern systems allow you to push clearly marked keypads in different rooms to choose your audio source. In addition, whole house paging, doorbell, and door answer features can be added for the truly integrated home. No one is forced to listen to the same music at the same time. Now everyone can hear what they like, when they like, and in rich stereo sound!

Intercoms have long been popular and can still be found in many quality older homes.  HomeSmart Central does service and replace home intercom systems.  We carry Nutone as well as other major brands of home intercom systems.

Home Theater A major source of entertainment for HomeSmart Central customers is the home theater. Years ago this meant large towering speakers in all four corners of the room with huge bass speakers intended to rattle the walls. While this is certainly still a great way to set up a home theater, it often does not fit in with our customer's lifestyles. Often the home theater is installed in the family room, which has to serve as a multi-purpose room. Large towering speakers may be out of place during a cocktail party or while entertaining guests.

High Efficiency, In-Wall speakers for the front and in wall or ceiling speakers for the rear have changed the way a home theater fits in with a room's décor. All HomeSmart Central speakers feature grills that can be painted to match wall color. Just because a speaker is in the wall does not mean it does not sound great. HomeSmart Central has researched a number of speakers and has selected on a variety of products that among the best name brands in the industry. Looking for bass? We can install 8" driver front speakers that will rock the house! For those looking for a more tame system, the 6 ½" speakers sound fantastic. Add a sub woofer with a pair of 6 ½" speakers and you have a great sounding theater. The pre-wire package provides all of the necessary wiring for 3 front speakers, 2 rear speakers, and a connection for a powered sub woofer. Standard wiring is for in wall speakers; however, speaker jacks can be installed for traditional speakers for a nominal charge.

If you are building a new house or addition, any location that may be utilized as a home theater should be pre-wired for video feed, satellite feed, telephone, data, and audio. Behind the components should be no less than 2 Cat5s and 2 RG6s. It is always recommended that this be doubled. In addition to the home theater applications, it is recommended to run a Category 5 to the structured wiring enclosure for control of home automation, audio/video feeds, etc. via IR. Since home theater criteria and components are changing rapidly it is recommended to consider running a conduit pipe from the structured wiring enclosure to the A/V location. A second conduit can be run to a possible projector location.
