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.

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!

Acoustic Treatment is Key to Optimizing Home Theater Sound

Most people think that achieving the immersive, exciting sound from film soundtracks and scores is all about the audio equipment. While speakers, subwoofers, processors, and amplifiers are critical to audio quality, there’s more to dialing in home theater sound. 

Many factors can influence sound quality in a home cinema. Room layouts, ceiling height, seating, furnishings, flooring, decor, and more can affect the sound in a theater.
