The Latest Technology in Sound and Audio Brings Home Theaters to Life
Experience the Ultimate Cinematic Experience With the Help of Home Theater Installers
There was a time when, to get the true cinematic experience, we dressed for the occasion, headed to our cars, and drove to the nearest movie theater. We may have headed to the Cinemark and enjoyed luxury loungers and a wall-to-wall screen, or to CineBistro to combine a gourmet dinner with a movie, or maybe to The Neon for an intimate experience.
We have a lot of choices in Dayton, OH, and the surrounding areas. But what if we could have that same, or better, immersive entertainment experience right in our own home? And what if our home theater installation could exceed our greatest expectations, rivaling that of any theater in the area?
Well, get out the popcorn and the epicurean delights because you can have it all. But, first, let's look at the latest technologies that are transforming the home theater experience.

The Immersive Sound
Dolby Atmos surround sound technology first came to the U.S. in 2012 in a Los Angeles theater playing the Disney/Pixar animated film, Brave. Today, you can experience this immersive 3D sound quality in your own home. Speakers are placed along the walls at varying heights, behind the screen, and in the ceiling, encircling movie watchers in a dome of sound.
At Beacon Audio Video Systems, we partner with the best-in-class brands that deliver cutting-edge technology in today’s home theaters. One of these is KEF. Founded in 1961, the company has led the acoustic market with loudspeakers that reproduce sound as close to the original performance as possible, whether a music concert or state-of-the-art film production.
KEF speakers produce the full frequency range in exact detail, with some certified to THX's ULTRA2 standard for in-ceiling audio. This creates THX surround sound performance, just as the filmmaker intended. The result is a magical theater experience that engulfs you in the moment.
The flush-mounted design blends into your home theater, and motorized control over the speaker's angle means that our certified technicians can deliver precise audio placement and calibration so that everyone in the room experiences the same ultimate audio experience.
IMAX Entertainment
Like KEF, IMAX has been committed to producing video quality as close to the original as possible and the way filmmakers envision their work of art. IMAX Enhanced projectors deliver sharp, vivid 4K HDR images onto wide HD screens for IMAX-compatible content. In addition, IMAX self-calibrating screens may be curved or flat, displaying the expanded ratio of IMAX movies and resulting in an immersive experience like no other.
8K Resolution
8K resolution projectors continue to hit the market, as well as 8K content. In essence, 8K resolution offers four times the number of pixels as a 4K projectors, for a total of 33 million pixels. This results in sharper, highly detailed images. With added high dynamic range (HDR), the bright, dynamic color range brings realism and depth to the crystal-clear pictures, bringing the director’s vision to life and to your home theater.
