Less stress equals better health, no doubt about it! But did you know that your health is also dependent to a great extent on allowing your body to follow its inborn routines? Your body functions best if allowed to sync to the natural circadian rhythm created by the relationship between the movements of the earth and the sun. Modern societies, however, have moved away from that. Our career-driven lifestyles often disrupt this important cycle of the rising and setting of the sun. Unfortunately, a major result of that is an inability to fall into a deep, restful sleep at night, which interferes with overall good health. Believe it or not, your smart home can help your entire family slip into a more beneficial sleep routine. A major part of this accomplishment is a white-tunable LED lighting system.

Perhaps you have heard a lot of chatter about smart homes and have come away with the impression that it’s all very complicated. Actually, a smart home will simplify and enrich your life.

Welcome to the fourth installment in our AV 101 series. In this post we are looking to educate you to all of the reasons you want and need outdoor audio and video and why you need equipment built for outside use to guarantee performance and longevity.

Here at AV Enthusiast, we understand that many of the terms used in the Audio Video industry are confusing and not always very intuitive. Often this can lead to misunderstanding and miscommunication on what your needs and wants for your home can be. As is often said, “Knowledge is power”, so we want to help all of our readers be more knowledgable of A/V terms. This article will be the first in a series that attempt to explain industry terminology in a way that everyone can understand. To help accomplish this, we are proud to bring you our new blog series, AV 101. Today we kick it off with Session 1 - Surround sound vs. Distributed audio.
