Elevating Your Holiday Hosting with a Surround Sound Installation

Let a Smart Home Integrator Help You Turn the Ordinary into the Extraordinary 

It's that time of year when our thoughts turn to family gatherings, parties, and celebrations. Whether you’re hosting a dinner for a few friends or a gala for 100, one element sets the tone for every holiday event: music.  

When you walk into a room, the lighting, décor, and ambiance draw you in and create a sense of anticipation. It's music, however, that sets the mood, whether energetic or relaxing, elegant or casual. It drives the event to be a lasting memory.

So, what if you could create a sound so extraordinary it transformed the experience? When friends, family, and acquaintances return home, they may mention the food and conversation. But it's the music that left them wondering how you created such an immersive environment that drew them in and created such a festive feeling. 

The secret? It's all about the right surround sound installation. Let's explore how this sound system turns the ordinary into the extraordinary and challenges the status quo in your next Hunting Valley, OH, celebration.

Yesterday's Surround Sound

Many homes are set up with a 5.1 surround sound system. The .1 represents the subwoofer, providing the deep bass you and your guests can feel. The 5 represents five speakers: a center channel speaker for dialogue as well as two front and two rear channel speakers. These systems surround your guests with dynamic sound that fills a room.  

Surround Sound on Steroids

With the latest surround sound formats, such as Dolby Atmos, sound is treated as objects, carefully placed by engineers within a 3D sphere. About 128 of these objects can exist simultaneously. 

That means that every sound surrounds you, immersing you in crystal-clear detail. From each note of a guitar riff to a vocalist's heartfelt ache, the music engulfs you within a multidimensional space. Imagine listening to "Riders on the Storm" with the storm crashing around you and the background vocals taking on a ghostly transparency. 

If you plan to enjoy some classic holiday movies with friends and family, a Dolby Atmos surround sound system will enhance the experience dramatically. You'll find Dolby Atmos music and movies on most of the big streaming platforms, including TIDAL, Amazon, Disney, Apple, and Paramount.

Connect to Whole-Home Audio 

While surround sound may be limited to the home theater or living room, you can sync your surround sound speakers with a multi-room sound system that spreads holiday tunes to every area—even outdoors! 

So while people mingle by the punch bowl or bundle up around a fire pit, they can still hear your holiday playlist in rich, full detail. We can help install a speaker system that links across your property and is easy to control through your phone.
