YOUR HOME AS AN AUTOMATED AV WONDERLAND FOR SUPER BOWL WEEKEND

So, you’ve modernized your home theater in preparation for Super Bowl Sunday, and you can’t wait to usher your guests into the room that day to show it off and provide them with a memorable experience.

The room has recently been outfitted with a new SIM2 projector, a top-of-the-line ALR screen from Screen Innovations, and a completely revamped surround sound system featuring in-wall and in-ceiling speakers from the Marquee Collection by Origin Acoustics. In addition, you added an ultra-slim 85” Samsung NEO QLED 8k TV on the wall in the refreshments area in the rear of the room.

But wait - maybe you could make that entire weekend about more than just football.  After all, it is the dead of winter and everyone has been stuck at home a lot due to extremely cold temperatures and dangerous, icy roads.  Perhaps many of your friends and family – not only those who are football fans – would enjoy an entertaining weekend in the AV Wonderland that you have created in your Crestron automated smart home.  All throughout, you have created specialized spaces for the enjoyment of various forms of entertainment – whether it be music, movies, gaming, or simply a cozy, comfortable space for good conversation and lots of laughter.

Last fall, you had your smart AV entertainment technology upgraded to state-of-the-art devices and had them all integrated with Crestron Home.  This allows you to easily  activate multiple systems at once with one touch on the screen of either your smartphone, tablet PC, Crestron TSR-310 handheld remote or any one of Crestron’s stylish TSW-770R wall-mount touchscreens located conveniently throughout your home.  With such a wide array of devices to use in activating your AV systems, it will be a snap to route AV entertainment sources to devices located anywhere in the estate, as requested by your guests.

THE LATEST TECH TO WOW YOUR GUESTS

Sony Bravia XR A75L 4K OLED TVs are the standard throughout your home, chosen for the state-of-the-art lossless video quality that they provide, replicating real-world colors, pure blacks, life-like brightness, and support for Dolby Vision^®, IMAX^®, and Netflix Adaptive Calibrated Mode.  These TVs are great for watching sports and action movies due to their embedded XR Clear Image OLED Motion technology, which reduces noise and minimizes blur, making them your number one pick. And no matter where they’re located in your home, whether in the low light of a den or the bright light of an enclosed patio, picture quality stays the same thanks to the Cognitive Processor XR™.

Providing the perfect match for this superb video experience and flanking each TV is an immersive in-wall surround sound system by Origin Acoustics, in combination with decorative acoustic panels (manufactured by Kinetics Noise Control) placed strategically on each wall to provide perfect acoustical tuning.

Whether it’s your young nieces and nephews watching “Snowtime!” in the Kids’ Activity Room or your mom and her friends enjoying hot spiced cider and “Groundhog Day” in the lounge, they will all be impressed with the experience.

A GAMER’S PARADISE

Being perhaps the most popular entertainment venue in your home, you have gone all-out with AV technology in your gaming room, opting for a Samsung 83” S90C OLED TV, paired with an in-wall surround system consisting of Totem Tribe architectural speakers, acoustical panels featuring popular gaming characters, all topped off with customized D-Box haptic gaming chairs from Jaymar.

TAKE A STEP INTO RETRO TECH

Taking a step back in time to add another AV space to your home, you surrendered to nostalgia last spring and converted a spare bedroom into a decked-out listening room dedicated to 2-channel hi-fi technology.  Vinyl records have made a huge comeback in this age of “everything streaming” and you have amassed a sizable collection of vintage albums, as well as several reissued ones.  For this highly specialized room, you chose a Dark Side of the Moon turntable from Pro-Ject for both high quality output and ambiance, pairing it with an ARCAM Radia A25 Integrated amplifier to effortlessly power your Bowers and Wilkins LRC speakers. 

Your Uncle Harry and teenage nephew Joey will be sure to escape with you often to this divine abode of analog bliss during Super Bowl weekend to chill out with Cat Stevens and “Moonshadow” or rock on with Deep Purple and “Smoke on the Water,” or even get funky with Wild Cherry and “Play That Funky Music.”

AUDIO THROUGHOUT YOUR HOME

Importantly, you wanted to be able to send any selected audio feed to any area of your home, but you didn’t want those speakers to look intrusive.  So you chose to have Origin Acoustics architectural speakers added to all areas that lacked adequate coverage.

You opted for Origin’s MOS36 speakers, which won PC Magazine’s Best of Show Award at CEDIA Expo 2022.  These diminutive powerhouses mimic the appearance of 4” designer lighting, allowing them to aesthetically blend in with any lighting already in place while simultaneously delivering world-class sound. In your experience, they have lived up to their reputation, boosting your confidence that awesome sound can travel flawlessly throughout your spacious home.  

Your guests for Super Bowl Weekend will find sweet and soothing sounds in the sauna and spa areas, honky-tonk tunes in the dance hall, and sweet lullabies in the nursery.  It will be an experience they won’t soon forget.
