Our new theater room packages

In a Detroit area market saturated with so called "theater room experts" we have decided to raise the bar and create new standard packages for those wanting to shop their personal theater room for the best equipment at the best price. We have pre-configured theater room packages for everyone. Admittedly, we frequently sell and install theater room electronics based on room requirements, budget, and quality, we also have pre-packaged systems for those who want to window shop.

                      

The thumbnails above are linked to our website, these sample packages are completely customize-able to meet your exact needs. Upgrades are also available, these are only examples of the many possibilities which can be installed in your home. For exact pricing and personal recommendations, please call today and schedule your in-home consultation, (248) 841-0072

Know your options!

Is your Home Theater company offering you "custom installation" products?

I am surprised at the equipment selection of some of our competitors. Since when is Yamaha, Polk Audio, Bose, Optoma, Logitech Harmony, Toshiba, Denon, Sharp, and a few other considered a "custom installation" product? Most of these are available at your local big box store and are mainstream products. Custom Installation products are not offered through these large retail stores.

Custom Installers offer electronics which were designed and engineered for robust sound and dynamic color. Not to say that the above mentioned brands don't offer quality products, they are just not geared for multi-use, multi-zone, multi-source, multi-integration use. Let's use Denon from above as an example (Denon is also available at Best Buy, not really considered custom installation), a few things to ask yourself before committing to this mainstream typical AV receiver, what are your options as the end user to make configuration or setup changes after your installer has left? How easy is it for you to get to the setup menu? Can you control your iPod for your Denon remote? Does your Denon have more than three or four HDMI inputs? Will your Denon remote control up to 15 other devices? Are the lower end Denon AV receivers THX certified? Does Denon allow you to plug in your iPod directly to the front USB? Does Denon offer network capability?

Would you like custom installation equipment which does everything above and does not cost more to get it?

Home Theater Integrators, Inc. offers Onkyo THX certified home Theater AV receivers. We have found through many years of sales and installation that Onkyo out performs Denon in every category.

Media rooms, game rooms, personal theaters

Personal Theaters:
Let our professional designers create the perfect Theater Room in your home. Going to the local multiplex theater is a thing of the past. With the ability to have a 125inch HD screen, theater style seating, accent lighting, plush surroundings, 1080p projector, and speakers which would make a sound studio jealous, you'll find yourself at home in your new personal movie theater. Check out our theater pricing page for exclusive pricing. All packages include high quality 16:9 fixed frame screen, top name HD projector, state of the art AV receiver, with an all-in-one remote, Blu-Ray player, equipment training and more!

Top it off with an optional V.O.D. high definition movie player and you won't have to leave the house to get the latest Hollywood releases. Even better you have given the phrase "watching the big game" a new meaning; our Bronze package offers a large 92 inch screen so you can support your favorite team from a view which seems like you are on the field.

Personal Theater packages can also be created to suit. Engineering services are available upon request.

Game Rooms:
Game Rooms can be extravagant or practical, whichever scenario you prefer, we can create both. From basic to outrageous; it is the room you look forward to relaxing in. Perhaps your vision of a Game Room is one where you entertain occasionally during the playoff season and have one large HDTV flat panel, a universal remote, and theater seating for six. Alternatively, some might imagine their Game Room having three large plasma screen HDTV’s (one for each simultaneous game), a gaming console (Xbox, Wii, and a PS3) for each plasma, seating for your twelve best friends, a real time sports ticker, 7.2 surround sound, and a system controller with ESPN web access on the touch screen remote for the ultimate game day experience. Home Theater Integrators has been creating Media Rooms, Game Rooms and Personal Theaters for years, our clients love our work, read our reviews with Customer Lobby. Want a turnkey exclusive? Our team of experts will custom design, custom build, custom wire, and custom install the ultimate Game Room for your home. We sell only top name electronics, our product line consists of only the best affordable AV equipment in the area. We are licensed, bonded, and insured.

These dedicated Game Rooms are always enjoyable and are able to function as home entertainment centers in the off season.

Media Rooms:
Media Rooms are a great way to ensure everyone in the family is able to enjoy your audio / video investment. This is also a good option for those who can't dedicate an entire room for watching only movies. What other room offers the capability of gaming, digital picture viewing, MP3 listening, web surfing, movies and videos, all using the same equipment? Your Home Theater equipment! Unless you have the extra floor space to dedicate your room as a sound room or theater room, a Media Room is a practical approach to having a multi-function room and including home theater equipment in it.

Integrating today's latest technology into your home and using it to its fullest potential is what we do. We can design, build and install a custom Media Room to fit every need and every budget, and the best part is; it is not complicated to use! Some may think that having equipment capable of satisfying the gamer in their family while also pleasing the audiophile in the family will be difficult to operate. With our turnkey solutions it operates with one touch button control.

Media Rooms can deliver family entertainment to all while maintaining individual preferences for those who use it. This is same room where families come together to share their vacation pictures on the large television screen and the same room where you escape to become lost in your favorite sitcom each week. This is the room you enjoy hearing background music while entertaining guests and the same room you surf the web after hours using the large flat screen.

HOME AUDIO

“Immersive Sound” – a term we use when describing our approach to home audio. Our home audio packages are defined with precision and driven by performance, one listen to any of our numerous home audio projects and you’ll understand why we have the highest return customer ratings in the area, one listen and you’ll understand why our approach is to offer our clients options. Our approach is driven by convenience for the homeowner, and delivered with technology which lasts a lifetime, our select speaker packages come with a lifetime warranty on selected speakers (1). We have separated ourselves from the competition by continuously delivering on our promise, to design simple yet robust audio systems which are intuitive to use while rich and warm in sound. Home audio should be felt not only heard, some of the biggest mistakes others make while designing a theater room is to install a huge 120” screen but rely on small front speakers to deliver the punch. You want a large screen, you should expect large sound! Personal theater rooms are generally larger than your family room or living room; don’t settle for a standard size speaker for your new projector and large projector screen. Another common mistake we often find is the home owner was not asked about the height of the ceiling in the room where the audio system is to be installed; vaulted ceilings or cathedral ceilings must have special considerations when designing a sound system that delivers immersive sound.

(1) ask for details on lifetime warranty!


Diffused rear sound field, this is another key element in having a theater room that is great (instead of OK). A “diffused rear sound field” is merely a matter of selecting an appropriate speaker for your back surround speakers. Simply put, this means the back speakers are wide in sound (not wide in spacing) and the listener will likely notice a larger area of sound from behind them when listening to the back speakers during a movie, this will give the listener the perception of having the action happen slightly further away instead of right on top of them.

Speaker placement, for whole house audio we do recommend using in-ceiling speakers for music distribution, in-ceiling speakers are the logical choice for most whole house audio applications since the ambient background music is heard at equal levels in the room regardless of the listeners location in the room, in other words, having the speakers located in the ceiling means the distance from the ceiling speaker to each listener is the same distance for each person since the speakers are overhead in the ceiling. Having this configuration means the music won’t be too loud for some listeners or too soft for other listeners if the music speakers were located in the wall instead. If they were in the wall then the music might be too loud for those standing near the wall speakers and too soft for anyone standing on the far side from the speakers.

For theater room applications we recommend in-wall or on-wall speakers for front and all surround speakers if possible. In this scenario the listener is stationary and not moving about since they are probably sitting in a theater chair. The in-wall or on-wall speaker configuration for theater rooms provides realism when compared to how people actually hear sound when out in the real world. Ask yourself, when was the last time you heard sound from over your head when you were out doing your regular activities? Then why put surround speakers overhead? If you are looking for realistic surround sound then you need in-wall or on-wall theater room speakers; not overhead in-ceiling speakers.

what is HDMI ???

HDMI is the global standard for connecting high-definition Consumer Electronics and PC products. It’s the uncompressed, all-digital interface that delivers both dazzling quality and unmatched ease of use.

HDMI technology provides the highest possible signal to meet the needs of today’s – and tomorrow’s – HD entertainment systems. With a single cable, it transmits:

•digital video
•multi-channel surround sound
•advanced control data
More than 800 manufacturers have adopted the HDMI standard, including some of the world’s most trusted brands.

•229 million HDMI-enabled devices shipped in 2008 and 300 million 2009.
•Market research from In-Stat projects over a billion HDMI devices in the market by 2010, when every new digital TV will feature at least one HDMI port
HDMI connectivity is already standard on a wide range of products:

•HDTVs
•Blu-ray Disc players
•multimedia PCs
•gaming systems
•digital camcorders, and more.
With HDMI connectivity, you get it all. The convenience of a one-cable solution, plus the power and performance of a high-speed digital link. Now and in the future, it’s the best way to connect HD.

Benefits of whole house audio

What is "whole house audio"?

Larger homes (more so than smaller homes) may benefit from having the ability to play music in all rooms throughout or different music simultaneously in a few select rooms.

Benefits of having whole house audio:
*Everyone in your house has different music tastes and you don't enjoy listening to their music
*You are having a party (and don't want the one room with speakers to be really loud)
*You want the big game to be heard everywhere because you are not staying in just one room
*You can fast forward through track lists or songs you don't like
*Can have different volume levels in each room
*Adds value to your home
*Enjoy different audio sources simultaneously (iTunes, FM, Sirius radio, Cable TV music, CD) *Speakers are not seen unless you are looking for them

Architectural Audio (in-wall speakers)

Advantages of: architectural audio (in-wall or in-ceiling speakers)

• flush mounted speakers are attractive by being inconspicuous and can be painted to match the ceiling or wall color
• no visible wires or connections
• music can be in every room without cluttering the environment
• creates a whole-house musical environment
• multi-channel home theater systems do not detract from the decor
• ceiling speakers can be omni-directional allowing the listener to be anywhere in the room
• infinite baffle design drives all sound energy into the listening area
• sound quality rivals the best cabinet speakers because the money is spent on drivers and crossovers, not the cabinet
• enhances SAF (spouse acceptance factor) [for real]
• adds value to your home
