To this end we provide electric reclining cinema seats in a variety of styles, finishes and shapes from the best manufacturers in the business, all of who offer standard ranges and custom options to perfectly match you seats to the interior design of the room.Popcorn machines, chocolate displays and cold drink fridges for the children and bar areas for the adults can also be incorporated in to your room, either discretely or on display, again to create the perfect cinema environment for yourself and your family.Home Theater DesignTo ensure you get the best possible experience from your cinema room, the design stage is of the utmost importance.

It's time to get the most out of your home. Truly relax and enjoy music as it should be heard, through an HW Automation Entertainment System.For New ConstructionWhen a home is under construction it's the perfect time to consider installing an HWA multiroom audio system. You can choose what rooms you want music in and what kind of speakers you want. Put the keypads and touchscreens in the spots that will work best for your lifestyle. And before the walls are installed, all wiring, cabling and brackets can be put in place to ensure a clean look when the house is finished.The majority of HWA's multiroom controller systems can be prewired, with keypad and speakers as well. We offer systems that accommodate virtually any size home and any size budget, from our versatile and feature rich RNET systems to our affordable A-BUS amplified keypad systems.For Existing HomesAnytime is a good time to add an HWA system be it during renovation or in conjunction with other installations, such as a home theater, security or intercom system.New homes are often equipped with all the wiring necessary for a multiroom audio system. Check with your home's builder to find out what wiring is available in your home – you could be just hours away from a complete audio system. In existing homes or remodels, installers simply pull new wires behind the walls. In either case, your HWA system will be heard, but hardly seen.Once your multiroom audio system has been installed, you still have options to expand it in the future. You can add music sources, speakers, video, or more rooms to the system if the need arises or your preferences change.Want music in additional areas?Most controllers can be daisy-chained to add more rooms. Try adding an extra pair of speakers or maybe an outdoor zone with an amplifier and weatherproof speakers.Looking for new music formats?You can add more sources like a satellite tuner or iPod dock. HWA has a variety of sources that can be added to a system with minimal fuss and maximum enjoyment.Audio Options:Floor-standing speakers:Floor standing or tower speakers have been around for years and in many ways remain the standard against which all other speaker types are judged. In general, they are larger than other types of speakers, reproduce a wide range of frequencies including deep bass, and are usually more efficient giving you more volume per watt of amplifier power.Tower speakers:Tower Speakers tend to be more expensive than bookshelf speakers, but they're hard to beat for big, room-filling sound. Bookshelf speakers: If you're working with limited space (or budget), bookshelf speakers are a good alternative to floor-standing models. With bookshelf speakers, you get smaller speakers that you can place on stands or on shelves and excellent performance in a smaller box (usually with a smaller price tag)Subwoofer/satellite systems:Satellite speakers can be mounted on the wall or ceiling, or can be placed on stands or shelves. Because they're so small, they almost always handle only highs and mids. The combination of satellite speakers and a subwoofer takes up little floor space, is easily integrated into your décor, and delivers rich, full sound. The subwoofer is, of course, much bigger than the satellites. But because of the omni-directional properties of low-frequency sound waves, you can place the subwoofer in an out-of-the-way location without sacrificing performance.In-wall & In-ceiling speakers:In-wall and in-ceiling speakers work in the same way as regular speakers, but they're mounted in a frame and set into the wall (or ceiling). Instead of a separate speaker cabinet, they use the wall itself as the cabinet. Though most in-wall speakers are full-range, you'll probably want to add a powered subwoofer to your system for bass reinforcement. Some manufacturers produce in-wall, in-ceiling and in-floor subwoofers as well. With proper installation, these speakers sound great and can blend seamlessly into your room's décor - they even have paintable grilles. Plus, you don't fill up your floor space with speakers. Keep in mind, installation is more involved than setting up traditional speakers. And you will, of course, need to run your speaker wire behind the walls and/or ceilings. Outdoor speakers:Outdoor speakers are a very popular way to bring your favorite music outside. They are weather-resistant, so they can be placed under the eaves of your house as well as on covered porches or decks. A speaker with plenty of power handling and a wide frequency response will perform best in a large open space. Outdoor speakers can also be purchased as “rock speakers” to blend in with your landscaping – especially good around pool areas so they are at your ear level while swimming!Speaker wire:Speaker wire is an important part of your speaker setup. Very old or very cheap speaker wire can degrade sound quality. Of course, if you have a hard time believing speaker cable quality makes a difference, just think of your luxury vehicle running on cheap inferior tires!. Better quality speaker wire results in better sound quality and is especially noticeable with higher-quality speakers.

Distributed Video No Frame

High Definition Quality in Every RoomA multi room HD video system will provide instant access to multiple Sky HD boxes, CCTV, DVD and Blu-Ray libraries, PC's and games consoles at the simple touch of a button. You will be able to watch any media source in any room in your house in full HD quality. An integrated HD video system will locate all major video equipment in a centrally located AV rack and our cabling infrastructure will then distribute these video sources in HD to every TV screen. A matrix switch allows each room to watch any of the central sources independently. For example, you can watch Sky HD box 1 from the family room, Sky HD box 2 from the kitchen, a stored blu-ray in the theater room, while the children are watching different stored DVD's in their bedrooms. Intelligent, easy to use remote controls in each room will make selecting what you would like to watch incredibly simple via the press of a button. Choosing a TV - Flat Panel TVs: Plasma or LCD?Flat-panel TVs create beautifully bright, crisp images using either plasma or LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. Many models measure 4 inches deep or less, opening up a whole new range of TV placement options. Mounted on a wall, a flat-panel TV becomes part of your room instead of part of the furniture. The digital technology inside flat-panel sets has many benefits. The most obvious benefit is their Shallow depth and light weight allowing you to expand your placement options. Wall-mounting is the most space-efficient approach, but you can also place your flat-panel sets on a table, cabinet or console.Plasma TVs have been around a little longer than LCD TVs and their technology is a little further along. Plasmas have better contrast and black level performance than LCDs, and offer slightly wider viewing angles. People often describe plasma's picture quality as richer or more "cinematic," so it's a great choice for a home theater, or for your main TV. LCD looks great in a kitchen or any other room with bright lighting. LCD displays are better at resisting glare from sunlight or room lights, and they're very bright (brighter even than plasmas). Over the last several years our TV buying choices have improved dramatically. The good news is that as all types of TV technology keep improving, the prices keep dropping. If you're like most people, your TV is the component that gets the most use. Custom Home Audio sells a wide range of TV’s to suit your specific needs based on your taste, budget, TV size requirements and desired quality. Our knowledgeable staff will help you make that decision.Video Options: There are a few different factors that you will need to consider to help you select the TV that's right for you. Some things to consider:Screen type:Flat-panel: Flat-panel TVs create bright, crisp images without using traditional picture tubes. These super-slim, wall-mountable TVs use either plasma or LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. In recent years, LCD and plasma panels have dramatically improved their resolution, brightness, and contrast ratio. The main advantage of these types of TV is that they are so slim that they are either wall-mountable or can sit on a small stand allowing a lot more space in your room.Rear-projection: "Big-screen" TVs produce clear, sharp pictures that look best when viewed straight on, from a seated position. The picture looks dimmer if you're viewing from the side, or standing up. Although their cabinets have slimmed down in recent years, RPTVs (rear-projection TVs) still take up more space than Flat Panel TV’s, and their larger screens require greater viewing distance for optimum results. The recent introduction and growing popularity of digital rear-projection TVs based on DLP, LCD, or LCoS technology has radically changed the big-screen TV market. These TVs have cabinets that are shallow and lightweight compared to conventional big-screen models. Front-projection: Front-projection is a two-piece system: the projector and the screen. Until a few years ago, home theater front projectors were heavy, expensive CRT-based units that required professional installation and maintenance. But increasingly, CRT projectors are giving way to compact, lightweight digital home theater projectors. Just in the past few years, manufacturers have dramatically improved the picture quality available from DLP, LCD, and LCoS projectors. Because front projectors perform best in reduced light or darkness, there are lifestyle issues to consider. But their big, bright images create more emotional impact than any other display type. Screen size:What size screen is right for you and your room? With conventional tube TVs, you had to sit at least 8 feet from a 32" screen to ensure a clear picture. Today's HD-capable TVs have higher-resolution screens that let you put a larger set in your room and/or sit much closer. High-quality video material like DVDs and HDTV programs look amazing on these sets. But you may also find that the noise and distortion in lower-quality analog signals (like standard broadcast and cable TV) are exposed and magnified. If most of your viewing is DVD-quality or better, you'll see more details by sitting closer. If you watch more regular (non-HD) video, sit farther back for a smoother-looking picture. Sitting the right distance from your TV is an important part of optimizing the viewing experience. Sitting too far away from a small- or medium-sized screen definitely diminishes the overall impact. At the same time, if you sit too close to a large screen, you're likely to be distracted by the screens "structure" its pixels or scan lines. Screen resolution:Resolution tells you how sharp and detailed a picture will look. Resolution for TVs and video components is generally measured by the number of horizontal pixels times the number of vertical pixels in an image. Some examples are 640 X 480 pixels for SDTV (Standard-Definition Television), and 1280 X 720 or 1920 X 1080 for HDTV (High-Definition Television). You may also see references to EDTV (Enhanced-Definition Television) sets typically flat-panel LCD or plasma models with 852 X 480-pixel resolution. Even if HDTV programming availability is still limited in your area, our recommendation is that your next TV purchase should definitely be a HD-capable TV. These sets can seriously improve your viewing experience even if you don't watch any HDTV shows. All HDTVs and HDTV-ready TVs include “up-conversion” circuitry to give non-HD signals (DVD, antenna/cable, digital satellite, etc.) a cleaner, smoother look. Screen shape (aspect ratio) — 4:3 vs. 16:9The popularity of DVD and the ongoing transition to digital television are also driving the shift from the conventional square looking 4:3 aspect-ratio TV screen to the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio. Virtually all analog (non-HDTV-capable) TVs have 4:3 screens, while most HDTV-capable TVs feature a 16:9 screen. If you have access to HDTV signals, or if you really enjoy seeing movies presented in the more cinema-like widescreen mode, a 16:9 model would certainly make the most sense. These TVs can display 4:3 programs in a central 4:3 window with black or gray bars filling out the screen's width on the sides. You can also usually choose from several viewing modes designed to make 4:3 material fill the screen's width by magnifying and/or stretching the image. With activity based buttons, it’s as simple as selecting “Watch TV” or “Watch Movie” and the system will take care of the rest. From turning on the TV, Blu-Ray and Receiver, to dimming the lights and even closing the shades. What could be easier?

Custom Media Rooms No Frame

Custom Media Rooms – The Best of Both WorldsWhere a dedicated home theater room is not possible or practical, jaw dropping cinema performance can still be achieved with sufficient planning and forethought. Have your Family Room, Great Room, or Den convert into a virtual movie theater at the touch of a single button. HWA Entertainment Systems' design team has years of experience hiding audio video technology into multi-purpose Media Rooms so that the entertainment components do not dominate the room's décor or use. Mask your flat screen with motorized artwork that reveals a hidden TV. Have a motorized projection screen descend from cabinetry or a hidden trap-door in the ceiling to reveal cinema-sized Home Theater. Modern speaker technology and HW Automation's know-how allow life-like surround sound from discreet speaker locations. Even your furniture can convert from sofas to discreet Home Theater seating. Hidden Audio and Video Your home has been carefully designed to your taste, and we highly doubt stacks of electronic boxes and exposed wiring was part of your and your Interior Designer's plan. For some, any visible electronics is unacceptable, especially in dual-purpose Media Rooms or rooms where you do not want in-wall or in-ceiling speaker grilles competing with your art collection. Even in a dedicated custom Home Theater screening room, most people like the electronics hidden from view.New speaker technology provides truly invisible speakers with exceptional sound quality. Motorized artwork frames and motorized TV lifts can reveal a hidden flat-panel TV. "Mirror televisions" can conceal televisions in Living Rooms and Bathrooms. Utilizing whole house music and distributed video systems technology further helps by relocating the electronic components out of the room and therefore out of your way.Flush-mounting is the newest enhancement for further hiding and blending technology into your home. The look of your lighting keypads, electrical outlets, and even wall data ports (phone, TV, Internet connection, etc.) can now be flush-mounted with the surface of your wall and painted to match (even if your wall surfaces are wood or stone). With this flush-mounting system, formerly noticeable wall accessories virtually disappear into the wall surface.Custom Games RoomsFor entertaining with friends or enjoying time with the family, games rooms are becoming an ever more popular addition to our clients homes. A multi-functional room with lighting control, music system and big screen entertainment is essential for successful games room project.Lighting control allows the room to be divided in to its separate areas, bright over the pool table, colourful around the bar area, and dimmed low level around the projector screen. A big screen TV or multiple screens will allow you to watch sports and TV programs during the day without drawing curtains or blinds. At night when the room's use switches to watching films, a touch of a button will lower your projector screen and projector silently from the ceiling, close the blinds & curtains, and dim the lights for a perfect movie experience.
