A Media Room

Did you know the team at Eighteen Group can install a state-of-the-art media room in your home without changing the dynamics of your space? That’s right – we can transform your living room or den into a multi-purpose media room for movies, TV, sports, and gaming using hidden technology to conceal your TV and installing in-wall or in-ceiling speakers.

Today, residential entertainment technology has caught up to (and even surpassed, in some areas) the quality of commercial movie theater technology. You can watch movies on a high-resolution 4K or 8K screen with vivid high-dynamic range (HDR) imaging from the comfort of your couch. And you can place yourself in the middle of the action with a 5.1 or 7.1 surround-sound setup for stellar audio.    

 

Multi-Room Music

A multi-room music system is a fantastic way to enjoy all the best music throughout your entire home. It’s also a clutter-free solution that meshes seamlessly with your existing aesthetic: one receiver processes all your home audio and sends music to speakers in every room. At Eighteen Group, we can install in-wall, in-ceiling or custom bookshelf speakers that match your home décor.    

The possibilities are endless with multi-room music. You can play music room-by-room or throughout your entire property while managing the selection, volume and distribution from one smartphone app, touchscreen tablet or smart remote. Everyone in your family can access and play streaming services, the radio, vinyl records, CDs, podcasts and audiobooks by simply using an app on their phones.   

 

Distributed Video

Multi-room video operates in much the same way that multi-room music does. One central receiver processes all your content sources and then distributes video to TVs throughout your home. Like multi-room music, you can access and control source selection and distribution from a single smart device!

Are the kids squabbling over what to watch again? No problem – your son can stream Netflix cartoons in the living room while your daughter watches a Disney+ movie in the family room or master bedroom.
