Bring High-Performance Audio and Video to Every Room in Your Home

At Fusion Home Systems, we specialize in high-performance audio, video, and smart home automation. These systems offer incredible ease of living, with shades that raise and lower and lights that dim and brighten with one touch on a user-friendly interface. Smart homes can also prepare themselves for you in advance, setting the temperature, heating the spa, and illuminating the lights to certain hues when you awake in the morning and before you arrive home from work. It’s such a luxurious lifestyle that many of our clients wonder how they lived before their homes got smart. 

One of our clients’ favorite smart home features is a whole-home AV system. A distributed audio-video installation enables them to experience crystal-clear music drifting through their home and yard and lifelike images on every TV display. And it’s all controlled from the same platform that manages the rest of their home! 

Let’s explore the makings of a whole-home AV system and how they’re transforming residences in Henderson, NV.

What Is a Distributed Audio-Video System?

In essence, a distributed, whole-home, or multi-room AV system “distributes” your audio and video equipment to every room in your home. Your equipment, such as Blu-ray or DVD players, music servers, streaming media and music services, turntables, Apple TV, and cable or satellite boxes, are neatly housed in a closet, cabinet, or basement. 

These AV sources are distributed to every TV and nearly invisible in-wall and in-ceiling high-performance speakers strategically installed throughout your home. For those who want to extend their living spaces, we can also distribute this AV system to an outdoor TV and sound system.

You no longer need to head to the den to listen to your treasured vinyl collection or watch a movie on Blu-ray from start to finish in the home theater. Instead, you can access your records from every room in your home and head to the outdoor entertainment area to finish your movie under the stars. You and your family can simultaneously listen to and watch any source in any room or fill your home with one beautiful melody and the football game on every TV.   

How Do You Control a Whole-Home Distributed AV System?

When integrated with your smart home automation system, you control your AV solution from the same user-friendly platform. Choose a source and a room from any designated touchscreen or mobile device. We can also program settings based on your activities. For example, do you regularly have friends and family over for Friday evening outdoor dining and movie night? We’ll set up an “Outdoor Entertaining” button that turns on the movie and sound, ignites the grill and outdoor fire features, and illuminates the landscape, patio, and pool lights.   

At Fusion Home Systems, our team of audio, video, and home automation experts work together to create luxurious state-of-the-art home and entertainment systems that are easy to use and as unique as every one of our clients.
