AV Should Boost the Atmosphere—Not Cause Irritation 

We’ve all been to a restaurant that was way too loud, forcing you to yell over your dinner. Then there’s the sports bar that, for whatever reason, cannot easily change the TV channel—or the gym with different songs competing between two rooms.

ENJOY THE IMMERSIVE CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE WITH A MARANTZ RECEIVER 

Home theater receivers have revolutionized home entertainment by enhancing audio and video quality. These devices create an immersive experience while letting you connect the AV components, including speakers, subwoofers, gaming consoles, televisions, and projectors. 

No one piece of equipment is responsible for the quality of your home theater experience. The projector displays the image, and the speakers project the audio, but the receiver brings all these together, decoding sound formats and switching between sources. It's also the user interface that lets you interact with your home entertainment. 

Additionally, if your home theater is also the go-to for gaming sessions and listening to the high-fidelity sound of your treasured vinyl, you’ll need an AV receiver that can handle it all. To say it’s an essential part of an immersive home theater experience would be an understatement. 

At DeVance Electronic Lifestyle, we specialize in creating tailored technology and home entertainment solutions that are easy to use and enhance our clients' everyday lives. Today’s possibilities in home theater design offer some of the best entertainment available. 

Here, we’ll explore the part the receiver plays and how Marantz has transformed the experience.

Create an Inclusive & Engaged Workforce

We’ve all experienced it—video conferencing gone wrong. It may be a last-minute request with key decision-makers or a hybrid meeting with remote workers, but it's clear as soon as you log into the meeting that all is not as it should be. 

It may be challenging to see everyone in the room. The speaker is in an obscure corner, and the all-important visual cues are impossible to read. When the PowerPoint slide appears, it dominates the digital display, reducing everyone else to a small corner. When someone asks a question, you have no idea who it is or what they said. 

There is a better way to ensure all your online meetings in Frisco, TX, run without a hitch and that all participants are visible, heard, and engaged. At DeVance Electronic Lifestyle, we have extensive experience as audio-visual integrators, custom designing and installing AV solutions ranging from huddle rooms to multiple conference rooms in large corporations. To accomplish this, we partner with Crestron and Biamp, industry leaders that offer state-of-the-art AV technology. Let’s explore what they bring to the table.
