Add to Your Home’s Aesthetics with the Latest Hidden Tech Innovations 

Many of our clients in Plymouth, MN, get excited about the possibilities with the latest audiovisual and home automation technologies. They are elated about the whole-home audio-video systems that bring high-fidelity music and soundtracks into their homes. Media rooms, home theaters, family rooms, and outdoor entertainment spaces come alive with sounds that surround the viewer and images that pop off the screen. 

“But wait,” says one of the family members, “I don’t want to see our home invaded by bulky equipment and massive TVs and speakers.” A few of the household members look down at the floor in disappointment. 

That’s when we get to put a smile on everyone’s faces—a moment we cherish. We explain how today’s hidden technology lets you enjoy the best the audio-video and smart home market offers while keeping it tucked away and hidden until it’s ready for use. To accomplish this, we partner with best-in-class brands that have transformed the hidden technology sector. 

Let’s look at what this latest technological marvel offers homeowners. 

McIntosh, Sonus faber, and Rotel Deliver High-End Audio for Home Theaters and Two-Channel Listening

Some of the brands we incorporated into the final project included McIntosh, Rotel, Sonus faber, Sony, Screen Innovations, and AudioQuest, brands we routinely use in our customized home automation projects for our clients in Wayzata, MN, and the surrounding areas.

Let’s take a look at the results.

Did You Know that Light Plays a Major Role in Your Overall Well-Being? 

You’ve probably heard of the circadian rhythm being referred to as our internal clock. And it works just like a regular clock with an alarm that our body sets off to stay in tune with natural light from the sun. Its most important function is to let us know it’s time to wake up or wind down for rest, based on the amount of light in your environment. 

Striking a good balance is essential to achieving a healthy circadian rhythm, and lighting control plays a key role. Read on to learn about the benefits of bringing circadian lighting into your Wayzata, MN home.
