What is a ‘Custom’ audiovisual system?
Custom design & installation is the art of matching an integrated system – which could combine music, video, computers, cable or satellite TV, lighting, security and more – to the individual needs of your home or business.
Sydney Hi Fi Architectural Sound & Vision was created to help you enjoy high quality entertainment and information in as many areas as you’d like without the clutter and inconvenience of multiple systems. We work closely with you and your architect / builder to precisely gauge your requirements, then provide a no-nonsense proposal clearly describing what the system will do, all the components, the prices and the payment schedule. Once you’ve accepted, our technicians cable through walls and ceilings, usually during construction or renovation, to install an individually designed system in perfect harmony with your decor.
Music where you want it.
High fidelity music can be ‘piped’ throughout your home or business to as many areas as you wish, with speaker volume adjusted via wall control, electronic keypad, or remote control. We even offer music on wireless network. And with some system options you can enjoy different music in different areas at the same time, with keypad or touchscreen control, so Dad could listen to a CD in the Bedroom, Mum could enjoy the radio in the Family Room, while the kids groove to a DVD with the latest surround-sound effects in the Home Theatre. Through the same system!
Video distribution.
Video can be distributed to any TV in the home from a central DVD player, a cable or satellite box, or digital free-to-air TV decoder.
Virtually invisible speakers, & outdoor speakers, too.
We stock a wide range of the latest speakers, specially designed to hide in walls or ceilings – all you see are discreet, paintable, grilles that practically disappear. Others are tiny cubes that mount on elegant wall or ceiling brackets. There’s a choice of style and size to suit every application and budget, and they sound as good as conventional speakers. Our range of weatherproof models is ideal for the BBQ area or round the Pool, in garden beds, or even underwater.
The Home Theatre Experience.
Just about any room can be set up as the entertainment heart of the home, where family and friends get together to enjoy movies on DVD, sports on cable/satellite, computer games or holiday memories from your video camera. For the ultimate cinema experience, a large screen is essential for involving, dynamic images. Choose a plasma or LCD screen, or (if the room can be properly darkened), a front projection system comprising a videoprojector and a fixed or motorized screen. Features, sizes and prices vary, but we can help with the right advice. The sound system in your theatre is as important as the picture, and careful component matching will enhance your purchase, from entry-level to state-of-the-art systems that electronically optimize their own performance. We can also help with advice on lighting, seating and soundproofing as well as full theatre design.
Bright ideas – lighting control.
Today’s technology allows you to control your lighting more easily and with greater flexibility. Our advanced systems offer sophisticated options of timing, function and mood, and provide remote command of multiple zones throughout the home or office.
‘Smart House’ Integration.
Using cutting edge technologies, we can integrate intuitive control of many functions in your home or business. Our easy to use computerized system is configured to your unique needs and can assume overall command of security, audio & video, lighting, climate control, motorized blinds and much more. The two-way colour touchscreen remotes can be wired or wireless – we program them so you can easily communicate with electrical devices in the home.
Business systems.
Your company’s success relies on the effective communication of information. Professional presentations of multi-media and teleconferencing are important management tools, especially in training and marketing areas. Quality background music creates a comfortable ambience in any commercial environment with the right choice of music shown to significantly increase retail sales. It can also enhance an office environment by masking general noise and creating an inspirational mood. Designed for speech and music in larger spaces, our Public Address systems offer crystal-clear high powered performance for halls, clubs & bars, houses of worship, and meeting rooms of all types.
