Governing Committee

Founding Sponsor

 

  CEDIA Member Highlight: Innerspace Electronics, Inc

The goal was to provide a state-of-the-art integrated control system that encompassed audio/video, home theater, lighting, window treatments, HVAC, security, surveillance and pool control. For the home theater, the team provided a high-end system that could produce HD video sources, 1080p sources and first-class surround sound performance. The client wanted high-quality acoustic performance and sound isolation, so an acoustic consultant was called in to optimize the room using RPG panels on the wall.

Additionally, the forward wall is acoustically designed to use the custom cabinetry as a natural diffuser. Ideal for this summer home, the client controls 26 thermostat zones from several centrally located touchscreens, as well as from any personal computer. While in their year-round home, the clients can open or close the property gate remotely and also have the ability to see the open/close status of the gates from all touchscreen devices.
