When you think March- you likely think about March Madness and the epic entertainment you expect to have every time you turn the game on.

But, are you truly enjoying your broadcast if you’re not using the right equipment? We sure don’t think so- and the customers we’ve helped find the right television to mount, projector to install, and sound system to implement all agree that the game gets better with the right audio and video equipment. Here are a couple of suggestions we have for you if you’re considering how to make watching basketball, football, baseball, soccer, or any sporting event better and more lifelike.

First, we tell people to SPRING FOR A BIGGER SCREEN.

Sometimes that means taking your smaller TV and replacing it with a better and bigger one. These days, televisions are smarter than ever and you might be surprised to find out that with the right equipment (the right television and remote combo) that you can control more than just the power, volume, and channel on your TV without messing with multiple remotes.

Additionally, we believe in better quality, especially when you’re moving into LED or 4K television models.

Next, and definitely, if the television upgrade isn’t progressive enough, we start discussing how to implement the switch from regular television to a wall or ceiling mounted projector and screen. Together these pieces of technology and equipment help you scale the screen to pretty much any size you dream of or imagine. Just think, how cool of an experience it would be to watch the Big Game on a big screen. That’s what you can get if you upgrade to a projector and screen for your entertainment room.

Projectors require more detailed attention in the selection and setup process but offer large rewards when it comes to your viewing experience. 

That’s why if you want to go this route, our team will need to discuss with you the ways you’ll use the projector, the architectural details of the room you’ll be using it in, and what aspects of A/V quality are most important to you. That allows us to make the best and correct suggestion for your room and your use.

Lastly, if you’re a true media lover and don’t just want a system that maximizes the visual experience- we can have a conversation about how to maximize the sound quality, color, tone, and acoustic balance for your sound system that we can connect to almost any television or projector combo.

If you’re considering buying subwoofers, speakers, sound towers, or any kind of audio amplifier, let’s make time to talk about all the fine details that make those pieces of technology really work for and impress you.

Our team, at Pure Audio, has more than 20 years of experience in helping our clients find, invest in, install, and enjoy every kind of audio and video equipment you can imagine for your home or office.

At Pure Audio our team makes suggestions for homeowners and business owners alike on the best type of universal remote controllers to buy.

One of our highest ranking suggestions is the Neeo Universal Remote by Control4. While this device requires you to have an up-to-date Control4 Smart Home OS 3 system installed, that’s not the end of the world. It’s actually the start of a whole new world for you, if you choose to install it.

First, we are going to cover some of the basic reasons why you might want to use a Universal Remote Control and then we will further explain why Neeo is our preferred choice.

When you decide to upgrade from a basic remote to a more technologically advanced device, you’re making the investment to solve several modern-day problems, like:

• Being able to control multiple devices in the same room with one device

• Simplifying the process to start movies, television shows, applications, and more

• Controlling everything your television is connected to with one remote control

• Replace your lost, broken, damaged, or old remote control

• Be cool as your neighbors, who, surely, are already thinking about the next trend

• Quickly access favorite shows or streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon

Now, those simple features and lifestyle innovations are made better when you have a robust or evolved smart home system, especially one as complete as the Control4 Smart Home OS3 system which pairs perfectly with the new Neeo Ultimate Remote Control.

With this device you’ll be able to:

• Tap a button and set the perfect movie-watching atmosphere which includes single-button action for your room or home lighting, sound system control, and video playing activation

• Program special events like “Game Night” celebrations where your home or entertainment lighting can change to represent team colors, screens shift to the big game with a single click, and sound levels adjust to preset preferences

• Enjoy “Date Nights” at home and never be inconvenienced when you use the “Pause” button to not only stop the video but re-engage the lights to illuminate your way to the kitchen for a snack or the bathroom for a break, then, resume with a click and you’re back to the perfect ambiance

• Alter the fine details of your home (like digital thermostat control, door locks, and music control) without moving from your seat

There’s more than just these above reasons to love the Neeo Ultimate Remote Control but you simply can’t go wrong with upgrading your entertainment experience to include a smart remote control of any kind.

If you’re thinking about getting a new remote control, upgrading your audio / video equipment, or tackling a home renovation- let’s talk about all the ways we can make that experience easier, better, and more enjoyable for you and everyone else around you.

Install better speakers and enjoy acoustically-superior music experiences in every room from your connected device and your new Triad or Monitor Audio sound systems:

Audio and Video Decisions for Businesses and Entrepreneurs

When you run a business you have to make a million decisions. Oftentimes, those decisions include where to locate your business and the office setup you’ll have to have to be productive.

At Pure Audio, we’re trusted by individuals and entrepreneurs alike. You can call on our team to help when you’re moving to a new home or business. Over the past almost two decades we’ve been attentive to small projects and complete groundbreaking build-outs.

Here, we will discuss the ways that our company can help your family or family business get set up with the audio and video equipment that you need.

So, before you make any decisions, be sure that you’ve reflected on:

Audio Installations:

Sound is imperative to a great experience. Our team knows about acoustics and how to make a room sound balanced, enjoyable, and clear. We also make suggestions on the best equipment for your project which could include: speakers, sound dampening panels, and equipment to control it all.

Our team helps:

• Restaurants and sports bars connect speakers throughout their ceiling, walls, and outdoor spaces that provide atmosphere by playing music that amplifies your brand.
• Counseling offices, therapy clinics, and wellness spas control the ambiance with background music systems and sound dampening equipment to isolate rooms and create the perfect environment with sound dampening, soundproofing, and ambiance to fill the space with background music.
• Gyms and fitness facilities with the initial structured wiring that allows for final phase build-outs and installations of audio and video equipment.

Video Installations:

They say, “what you see is what you get”!

So, we like to make sure we provide people the best in everything visual. Our team has been trusted partners of companies like Samsung, Sony, Epson, and LG for TV’s and other equipment, like projectors and screens.

What makes a great viewing experience can all depend on variables that we should discuss together. For businesses, we will need to know about capacity, layout, and intent for the use of your space. Our team will also ask about if there will be a designated employee to train on all things A/V or if the public will be the main user of the system and set-ups. This key piece can dictate what kind of options, controls, and user features we should include for your project.

At Pure Audio we provide:

Equipment that suits every space from the Corporate conference room to a welcoming waiting room

Dance studios and sporting facilities with TV’s of all sizes to stream content on, use as a larger desktop monitors, or broadcast training videos from

And businesses that are moving with the support they need to disconnect their equipment, transport it to the new office, and reinstall it correctly, hiding cords, and making for a seamless company transition

Additional Considerations:

Lastly, we’re a service company. That means your satisfaction is important to us and that we’re here for you after the install. If your sound doesn’t sound balanced, you need help programming your TV or universal remote, or take your room to the next level with system upgrades, we’re here for you.

Make time to call us and set up a personal consultation with one of our audio and video installation experts. We can meet privately at our showroom or our team can come to your home or business to get a better understanding of your project and provide a free quote.

Don’t be left wondering: who do I call for tv mounting, speaker installation, or structured wiring? Call Pure Audio to get a contractor that provides the best of everything you hear and see.

At Pure Audio, we’ve been partners with Home Builders & Homeowners alike to make sure that a home serves the exact purpose they desire. One of the most important rooms in any home is the place where food is created, served, and enjoyed- the Kitchen.

If you like spending time in your kitchen we have a few handy ways to make that experience even better. Moreover, if you don’t like cooking for yourself or others, these kitchen improvements might change your mind.

The upgrades we suggest that are FOR YOURSELF:

Voice Activated Controls:

Optimize your life with the latest voice activated technology. No matter what device you’re using our team of audio and video installation experts are able to work with you to achieve an easier overall experience in your kitchen. Ask us how to control music, lighting, and other smart devices with your voice.

Mounted TV or iPad:

Whether you’re streaming youtube cooking tutorials, scrolling through a digital recipe, or video chatting with loved ones while cooking- this is a handy installation to consider that maximizes your sense of connectivity and functionality while in the kitchen.

Automated “Scene” Lighting:

You come in to the kitchen for many different reasons throughout your day and week. You might be hauling in arm fulls of grocery bags in the dark hoping not to drop the eggs on the tile floor… or getting up for a late night glass of water stumbling to the kitchen through the dark stubbing your toe on the way to the light switch… both of these situations can be avoided and improved with automated scene lighting (especially when combined with Voice Activated Technology). Set the scene with adjustable lighting and find new ways to control the ambiance and utility of your home.

The upgrades that we suggest FOR THE FAMILY & FRIENDS:

While those upgrades provide a lot of enjoyable accommodations to the homeowner. We can never forget that a home is usually enjoyed by more than one person. Oftentimes, a home is upgraded, renovated, and improved to cater to the needs of others- or to simply impress them. If you’re wanting to make upgrades to your kitchen that enhance the value of your home while bringing more joy to your friends and family, consider these below.

Incognito Speakers:

Amaze and impress everyone by bringing audio experiences in to your kitchen. Our crew can install ceiling speakers that can cascade music over everyone like a waterfall- or we can hide the speakers in-wall, in-decor, or in-appliance if you don’t want them visible in the ceiling. Either way you choose, your friends and family will get to talk about how much they love it.

Mood Lighting:

Based off the “scenes” you can create with the automated lighting, we can enhance this programming and equipment to a level that allows you to “set the mood”. That could be for a romantic date, a surprise celebration, a post-dinner dance party- or whatever you desire to create. Ask our crew how to include color changing lights or lighting that changes with the music into your next kitchen or renovation project.

Touch Panel Controls:

The “Ooooh and Ahhhh” factor is large with this one. Take your kitchen from normal light switches to digital touch panels with customizable and programmable preferences. This can become the central nervous system of your kitchen- we can integrate the lighting, music, technology, and more right here. Ask us how to decide between the best options of touch control panel systems!

All of a sudden, when you have a kitchen with amenities like this, the focus becomes less on the food and MUSIC & EXPERIENCE become the main courses. The memory that lasts is simply a sweet dessert that all your guests get to take home with them.

At Pure Audio, we like to party. So bringing the perfect side dish is important to us. That’s what we like to think of these audio and video upgrades as: side dishes.

Get started with us today! Make music the main course and get the perfect side dishes from us with incognito speakers, voice activated technology, touch panel controls, adjustable or automated lighting, and even mounted technology and TVs.

Who said summer had to have vacations anyway? If you ask our personal opinion, making your home the perfect staycation is the ultimate everyday vacation. Being audio and video installation experts, we are often called on to help families create the perfect center for movie watching, music listening, and game playing. Whether that’s in the form of a Custom Home Theater or a Family Media Room. Let’s create a place your family feels happy being together, yet, still fights over who gets control over the remote. It just takes understanding the differences in design standards, equipment selection, and installation timelines you have to consider. Here we will discuss them all.

• Design Standards – In general, a larger dedicated room with controllable lighting and superiorly designed acoustic structures from floor to ceiling are what make up a Custom Home Theater. Whereas, any general room that is dedicated as a multi-use space to enjoy media and enhanced appropriately with specialty equipment will create a Family Media Room worth enjoying every day.

• Equipment Selection – A major consideration when doing a project like this is to understand whether you want a projector and projection screen or if you prefer a television. Even when we say standard television, that could include a high-end 4K, LED, Curved, or Smart TVs. It’s typical in a Family Media Room to include television options from our partners at Sony, Samsung, or LG. While projects we classify as Custom Home Theaters are oftentimes utilizing ceiling-mounted projectors and large-format projection screens. Another distinction that we help you decide on is the importance of audio in your project. If you like watching movies and enjoy hearing every sound-fx, word, and want to feel part of the experience- then you need to invest in the best speakers. Where those speakers are placed also impacts the overall end result. Don’t worry, we help with acoustics, too. We can tailor solutions that include high-resolution audio speakers, subwoofers, and in-ceiling speakers. Lastly, while a Family Media Room might have a comfy couch, the Custom Home Theaters that we design typically feature unique furniture and seating options that enhance the luxury and utility of the space.

• Installation Timelines – Projects that are considered Custom Home Theater projects end up taking longer than simple Family Media Room conversions. Building your home theater is a much more involved process, therefore, if you want to minimize foot traffic or the construction timeline you might want to choose a Family Media Room instead. If the timeline isn’t a problem for you and you’re aspiring to create a jaw-dropping signature space to enjoy your favorite movies anytime with anyone then a Custom Home Theater is the best choice for you.
