Home Theatre
Whether it's your home or your boardroom, ASTec will provide a complete
professional solution!
It is said, "A picture is worth a thousand words", so that is what we
are doing here. This page represents a few of our designed and installed
systems provided as a custom installation for our customers. Home
theater system and the incorporated wiring those makes the components
perform can be as simplistic or as elaborate as desired or as budget
permitting. Home automation is an important factor in system
performance, both in flexibility and convenience.
 
Today various forms of design are incorporated to make all the desired components perform the way you like them to. ASTROvision is a custom design and installation company that will work closely with you to achieve the desired results. Design and plan your system with your lifestyle and performance needs in mind. ASTROvision will approach these needs by concerning ourselves with the room size, room environment, ease of use, customer requirements, and lifestyle. All this will be necessary in which to place the equipment for optimum performance. Ultimately, this results in the greatest listening and viewing experience to the consumer within a given budget.
How about a whole house sound system? True stereo sound in any room of the house is effectively achievable, where attempting the same results through an intercom is surely non-reproducible. Separate volume controls in each area allow for balancing with differently desired levels per room. Consider invisible speakers, located during new and old construction, where the speakers are located and designed to perform within the walls. There are even speakers that literally hang and present themselves as picture frames allowing for pictures and paintings within. Architecturally, other recessed speakers are located with the esthetic consideration in mind.
Or an entertainment room with large screen TV and Dolby Digital Surround Sound with realistic, earthshaking audio. Hear it the way it was meant to be heard, or hear it your way! Custom installed tower or wall bracket speakers, placed for optimum performance, provide the desired esthetic look without compromising the listener. Dolby Pro-Logic systems are usually designed around one center channel, two front speakers, a subwoofer, and two rear speakers normally performing in mono sound for effects. Dolby Digital (a.k.a. AC-3 and 5.1) goes one step further in steering the sound to the appropriate speaker, using one center channel, two front speakers, one or two subwoofers and two rear speakers operating independently as the sound track was
intended.

Similar to our pages concerning pre-wiring and home automation, quality wiring is important here. Traditionally, electricians and laypersons are accustomed to installing
zip-cord or otherwise known as electrical lamp cord. Wiring today must meet certain standards where installed within walls in favor of present building codes and performance minimums. Inductive and capacitive reactance between such conductors and the correct speaker cable is considerably different in character. So, that parallel conductor lamp cord was once an acceptable, or tolerated standard before performance and safety was an issue.
In a smaller consideration, why not get a true universal remote that will allow full operation and features of all your individual remotes without the clutter. Components can be sequenced to operate simultaneously with the touch of a single button, even close the drapes and dim lighting to a predetermined level. A good home theater system tailored to a customer’s needs doesn’t mean breaking the piggybank.
Whether it be for video or sound, the proper type, size and characteristics of cabling
is
necessary to achieve the results you are looking for. ASTROvision’s knowledge in
combining and integrating components and interface wiring will make it all work together and go a long way in providing for your long term total satisfaction.
