Explore the Latest Innovations in Home AV

Optimizing Your Home's Entertainment & Design 

In the last several years, home AV has made tremendous advancements, creating immersive, dynamic experiences in nearly every room and outdoor area. At one time, this level of entertainment would require large flat panel TVs, loudspeakers, and under-eave outdoor speakers, equipment that affected a home's aesthetics but was perceived as worth the benefits it brought.

Fortunately, times have changed. 

Today, you can experience lifelike images, surround sound, and outdoor audio video that takes your breath away without seeing the massive equipment when not in use. Keep your New Orleans, LA, home's pristine design. Then, press a button and enjoy the best home entertainment available. 

Let's explore some of today's methods for hiding your AV equipment and what you'll experience when it comes into view.

Home Video Revealed

With self-illuminating pixels that produce incredible contrast, crystal-clear images, and wide viewing angles, today's OLED TVs are finding their way into more homes than ever before. However, with sizes reaching over 80-plus inches, nothing can mar a home's design faster. 

Enter the world of hidden technology, where TVs hide behind paintings and elegant mirrors, revealed with the touch of a button. Today's motorized lifts can also place displays in ceilings, floors, and customized furniture and counters, hidden from view until it's time for movie night or the morning news. 

Audio from an Unseen Source

Imagine walking into your home at the end of a long day and hearing your favorite musician filling your home with stunning clarity. No loudspeakers or audio equipment disrupt your home's peace and tranquility. Instead, the music fills the air from an unseen source, creating an immersive, almost magical environment.

As more homeowners searched for state-of-the-art entertainment that retained their home's beauty, high-performance audio manufacturers paid attention. Many of the leading brands in the industry now produce architectural speakers that blend in with their surroundings or disappear.

Some are installed directly into walls and plastered over. Others are found in ceilings, painted to blend into their surroundings, or designed to resemble small aperture recessed light fixtures. 

Shared Audio & Video Equipment Tucked Away

All your AV equipment is no longer found in every room. Instead, our AV experts at Acadian Home Theater & Automation gather the many devices, from cable boxes to satellite receivers, Apple TVs, Blu-ray players, and turntables. These devices are shared with the entire home and placed in a dedicated closet on custom racks. From there, the AV signals are distributed to TVs and speakers.

Into the Great Outdoors

Another growing AV trend is extending the best home entertainment into outdoor areas. Outdoor 4K UHD TVs provide vibrant images even in full sun, rising from the ground with the press of a button. Satellite speakers that look like landscape lights deliver breathtaking audio in perfectly even coverage. 

Managing Your Home AV

You manage all your devices from a touchscreen or one remote. Select the room, the source, and enjoy the ultimate entertainment in every room.
