The "Future Proof" infrastructure of tomorrow's homes.
STRUCTURED WIRING SYSTEM
Most homes are wired for only basic services
like electricity, telephone, and limited cable TV. One cable wire and one phone
wire is NOT enough to take advantage of new technologies now and in the future.
DYNAMIC AUDIO VIDEO can install a home wiring network that connects all the
rooms in your home to a central location. From there, services like telephone,
fax, cable TV, satellite TV, and high speed internet can be routed to any room
at any time. Conveniences like satellite, cable, and closed circuit TV can be
enjoyed wherever you choose. And because the home wiring systems we install have
the future in mind, new technologies like interactive TV, digital television,
and video-on-demand can easily be made part of your home and your lifestyle.
WHAT STRUCTURED WIRING DOES FOR YOU:
|
DOES NOT limit you to just basic TV and phone in each room |
|
Lets you watch antenna, cable, satellite, surveillance cameras, or even DVD in any room in your home. |
|
Gives you access to multiple telephone lines for voice, fax, or modem in any room. |
|
Lets you link home computers to share files, printers, and access high-speed internet...from any room. All the convenience of the office—at home! |
|
Increases the resale value of your home. |
|
Make your home more attractive to potential buyers by offering a home that's ready for future technology! |
HOW DOES A STRUCTURED WIRING SYSTEM WORK?
|
Multiple high-speed cables are run from wall plates in individual rooms to a central location in your garage, utility room or basement. |
|
Incoming services such as telephone, high-speed internet, cable TV, and satellite TV are brought to the central location. |
|
An equipment panel at the central location houses all the distribution hardware and allows services to be routed (and reconfigured) to each room as desired. |
|
The wall plates in each room have connectors for telephone, data, and video — just plug and play! |
Please Note: COX COMMUNICATIONS is currently
installing new digital fiber optics around the New Orleans metro area to
provide future enhancements and technology for Digital High Definition
Television, High Speed Internet, Telephone, and Data Services. Will your
home be ready for their new and future technology? If wired incorrectly or
with outdated cabling, the answer is NO. Please contact us to see how we can
"Future-Proof" your home with our
Structured
Wiring System.
Would you build a home without plumbing or electricity?
80 years ago it was still optional to add electricity or plumbing to a new home. There were very few products that required electricity at the time and indoor plumbing and telephone were luxuries. Not today...BE PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY!
TODAY:
| Many families have more than one computer or will in the near future. |
| Everyone is in the process of connecting to the internet in one way or the other. |
| The internet connection will need to be shared with all computers. |
| Printers and scanners need to be accessible from each computer. |
| Homes have a mixture of satellite and cable. |
| Most homes have more than one telephone line. |
| New homes are larger now and will need a way to communicate from room to room. |
| More and more new appliances are being developed with Ethernet interfaces. |
| More and more people are working at home. |
| With multiple TV's, entertainment equipment can be shared throughout the home. |
| Who knows what the next few years will bring. |
We could sit back and wait to see what happens, but then what are our options as new technology arrives? We then run wires along the outside of the house and around door frames, as it was done in the past.
OR
We can pre-wire with the industry accepted cabling system that new products are being developed to work with, so we are prepared for whatever might come in the future of technology.
Another major reason for pre-wiring your home is resale value. Many of today and tomorrow's home buyers are professionals that work with computers and need access to the internet and multiple computers. A home with a structured wiring system in place adds to the attraction and value of your home.

Choosing a TV for Today ... and Tomorrow
Truly top-notch
picture quality continues to become more affordable — thanks in part to
technologies that weren't even available five years ago! If your home is like
most, the TV is the audio/video component that gets the most use.
Whether you're looking for a 20"
model for the bedroom or a 70" HDTV for a family-room home theater, you want
your TV to do a good job displaying your primary programming source, whether
that's an antenna, cable, satellite signal, high definition, or DVD. Based
on your room size and viewing habits, DYNAMIC AUDIO VIDEO will choose and
professionally install your HDTV. We sell only the best flat panel televisions
with the absolute best contrast (black level) and resolution.
Because
when it comes to TV, black level is everything. Black is the canvas. Black is
the foundation. Black gives each color greater definition, additional shades,
more depth and the sharpest details. In red. In green. In blue, and everywhere
in between. A truly black black breathes life into color and forever changes the
way you think about TV. For the deepest blacks possible, be sure to inquire
about our Pioneer KURO flat panel televisions... the absolute best!
If you are considering a Digital Satellite System or a High Definition Television in your home? There are some special considerations that go into wiring your home for the new digital signals. Again, the wire quality is one of the most important factors. All Digital Television System Manufacturers recommend that you use a high quality RG-6 QUAD (quad shielded) cable for their systems. Our installers have extensive knowledge of these systems and can explain all of your options to you.
For more information on HDTV, please visit out FAQ's page.
Multiroom audio is home entertainment
Inside, outside and everywhere in between, our whole-house
entertainment systems distribute fun throughout your home.
Imagine all your bulky electronics out of the way, hidden in one location, like
a media closet, completely out of sight.
Now
think about coming home, pressing a button and music fills the air. What will it
be? Classical for relaxation after a stressful day; rock to get the blood
flowing; or how about a favorite satellite radio channel while cooking dinner?
Meanwhile your spouse is working out to his/her top CDs in the other end of the
house. Your kids are in the home theater room with five of their friends
watching the latest high definition DVD. All this from one system, easily
controlled from keypads, touchscreens or remote controls.
(Click on the keypads above for a demonstration)
Gone are the stacks of stereos littering each surface. Say goodbye to big box
speakers that look alien, no matter how modern your furniture is. This is what
you see. What you get is so much more.
How multiroom audio can work in your home
The diagram below shows a home divided into six rooms or zones,
with speakers in each zone. The core audio components can be located out of
sight in a closet or basement. Or they can be located neatly in a rack wherever
your family often gathers together. It’s your choice.
Multiroom audio allows you to select rooms or zones in your home where you want
music. A zone can be one room or many rooms—it’s up to you. It makes
entertaining easy. No matter which room your guests are in, the music surrounds
them.
Hear
what you want where you want it.
Each zone has full access to the equipment through keypad interfaces. You and
your family can instantly hear AM/FM Radio, XM Radio, SIRIUS Radio, CDs, Ipod,
Music Server, and Television audio independently at the same time.
While gardening in the backyard, you can select music from the porch’s
convenient keypad. At the same time, your family is listening to their choice of
audio in other rooms and zones.
Put the joy of music back into your life!

The Ultimate Music System from RUSSOUND
|
The Russound Smart Media Server stores
and manages your music, providing easy retrieval from virtually anywhere
in your home. It supplies three different streams of music
simultaneously, making it ideal for use in a multiroom audio system.
When used with a Russound RNET® system, the artist, album, and song
information is delivered directly to your UNO keypad or touchscreen
display. |

Most of us plan on spending at least some our leisure time outside of our homes; whether it is for a simple weekend barbecue on the patio, a sunny day around the pool, or an extravagant garden party. Our aesthetically pleasing "ROCK" speaker (above right) will disappear into almost any landscaping while our surface mount speakers (above left) are perfect for under your patio. Now imagine being able to listen to your favorite music or even the big game while your enjoying the great outdoors. No more dragging the stereo and speakers outside, or changing batteries in the kids’ portable radio. Our expert installers can install your outdoor music system no matter how large or small your needs.
INTRODUCING THE FIRST TRUE WEATHERPROOF IN-WALL &
IN-CEILING SPEAKERS -
Symphony Extreme speakers from Sonance are designed to fit into every aspect of
your leisure lifestyle while
providing you superior audio performance. Symphony Extreme speakers are made to
withstand high humidity and are built to survive temperature extremes from
-30 degrees up to 220 degrees while maintaining superior sound
quality. Symphony Extreme
speakers are also shock-resistant and can withstand the pelting of the high seas
and salt air, making them excellent choices for marine applications. Use them in
the sauna, in the ceiling of your shower, install them on your yacht or anywhere
outdoors. Choose from three different styles depending upon your application –
the XTR and XSSTR are round speakers designed for in-ceiling installations, and
the XT made for in-wall installations. All Symphony Extreme speakers owe their
weather resistance to a very innovative design. All exposed plastic parts are
made of durable, high temperature plastic, which has a substantially
higher melting point. Finished with grilles made of stainless steel to weather
the elements of time, a baffle O-ring and a frame neoprene gasket that makes
them watertight and enhances the moisture barrier.
From the Death Valley dry heat of a sauna to the
Amazon rainforest humidity of a shower stall, Symphony Extreme knows no
placement boundaries and they deliver the same Sonance Symphony sound quality
that you’ve come to love.
The
phrase "Home Theater" strikes different people in different ways. Some may
envision an entertainment system that is artfully integrated into their living
room casework. Someone else may imagine a Flat Screen display rising out of a
cabinet at the foot of their bed.
We have a system to meet your exact needs and budget from a simple surround sound system to a dedicated home theater with a large projection screen, high performance audio system, movie theater seats and décor, curtains, candy counter, and custom lighting. Whichever version is your vision; choose DYNAMIC AUDIO to make it a reality.
Kick back. Settle into your favorite chair. Pick out a film. Press one button. As the flickering image fills the screen, the soundtrack fills yours senses. From the subtlest sounds to room rattling effects you hear everything. Pride of ownership takes on new meaning when guests view the startling film-like images and sounds that they never imagined were possible in a home.
For experienced home theater designers, proper equipment selection is the easy part. Our designers address challenging acoustic and aesthetic elements to guarantee system performance and enhance the overall movie-viewing experience. Room dimensions, acoustical wall treatments, ambient noise control, seating type and configuration, light control, equipment and speaker placement are among the important considerations. Please view our HOME THEATER section for information.
Many homes now are installing flush mounted in-ceiling speakers for surround sound. The problem with most in-ceiling speakers is that they are NOT fully "aimable" to direct the sound at the seating position as opposed to the floor. We have the answer! DYNAMIC AUDIO VIDEO proudly carries Sonance speakers, who not only initially invented the in-wall/in-ceiling speaker and first to offer a lifetime warranty, but was the first to produce a fully pivoting in-ceiling speaker. As seen above, you can now enjoy a flush mounted ceiling speaker that accurately images for Home Theater applications, thus experiencing both the sonic advantages of a high performance traditional loud-speaker and the aesthetic advantages of a flush mounted architectural speaker. Homeowners are now liberated from the speaker placement restrictions that have long plagued audio and home theater.
Most of today’s new homes have several areas that need to be monitored by surveillance cameras. The nursery, front and back doors, pool, parking area, and kids playroom are all examples of areas that could use camera monitoring. Our surveillance camera systems are state of the art and can be digitally recorded and monitored from any TV in your home or from a remote location, such as work, via the internet (see picture and demo below). Now when your doorbell rings you can see who’s at he front door by simply changing to a designated channel on any television in your home.

Imagine being able to speak with a guest at the front door by simply picking up any telephone in your home and the ability to view them on any television by changing to a designated channel. Peace of mind and security is right at your fingertips with our DoorPhone Camera System (above right).
Turn your existing multi-room audio system into a full featured intercom system with Élans Communications System. The concept is simple. Instead of walking up to a bulky intercom box mounted on the wall, all you need to do is pick up any telephone to communicate throughout the home. Easy-to-remember key presses initiate features such as Whole-House Paging, Phone-To-Phone Intercom, Two-Way Door Station Communications and Caller-On-Hold. Pages are heard over the same speakers that were installed for music distribution. If a caller is on hold, the Music-On-Hold feature will keep them entertained. View the brochure here.
Additional features let homeowners control door/gate latches and activate relay-controlled devices such as lighting and garage door openers from any touchtone phone. Add up to two ELAN Door Stations and digital door chimes broadcast throughout the home.
Getting SMART about safety, energy, and convenience.

Integrating the home’s security, lighting, climate control, and audio is easy and does not have to cost a lot.
Let us show you how to save 10-30% on your electricity bill. Routine actions, such as arming the security system for “Away,” can save energy by automatically turning off lights and setting back the thermostats. Once we set it up it happens automatically!
Reduce wall clutter by eliminating banks of light switches. Hide thermostats and use our Aegis/HAI control center.
Increase security and safety. In the case of a fire alarm, DYNAMIC AUDIO VIDEO's integrated systems automatically illuminate a pathway to safety, flash exterior lights to help authorities quickly locate the home, and turn off the HVAC system to prevent it from fanning the flames.
