Absolutely. We can install a central system that has a wide configuration of speakers in different areas, whether it's a sunroom, a side patio, or the kitchen. We can also devise systems that have different zones (perhaps you want to listen to the latest jazz from New York, while a family member wants New Age in another room).
The Soundwave is expert at this. We can help you with selecting the best equipment (and decide on a base format, such as whether to us a television or projection system). We can also guide you with other important considerations which many people do not realize can make a big difference. One example of this includes using the best video connections available as well as high-quality cables, all properly matched to the capabilities of the equipment involved. Other considerations, like using HDMI connections for proper high-definition, 1080p capable Blu-ray players and gaming consoles, and important as well. There are some excellent alternatives when the equipment dictates it, like component video and S-video, both of which we can help you understand. These are just a few examples of where enlisting experts can make a huge difference in how your system will perform.

We can help you by analyzing the space you have, and help you select a multi-speaker system, crucial to how true surround sound works. In some cases, a pre-matched system may be very suitable, and we can always help with our top-flight professional installation. In other cases, however, for best performance a custom surround sound system that we design for you is the ultimate solution. A custom-assembled system allows greater flexibility, and the ability to "fine tune" (no pun intended) how the components work together and perform in the whole environment. A custom system may may take more time and expertise to design and install, but it is absolutely guaranteed to provide an incredible entertainment experience.
