Why hire an audio integrator, like Starpower, instead of buying speakers at a store?

Our expert audio integrators design complete systems where speakers, amplifiers, processors, and room acoustics work together optimally. We specify equipment matched to your room, install with proper wiring and positioning, calibrate systems for accurate sound, and integrate with automation. Store purchases often result in mismatched equipment, poor placement, and no calibration. Integrators deliver systems that perform to their potential.

What is Dolby Atmos and how do you install it?

Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format adding overhead sound channels for 3D audio. Professional integrators, like the experts at Starpower, install Atmos by strategically placing height speakers (in-ceiling or upward-firing) and configuring the processor for your room. Configurations range from 5.1.2 to reference-level 9.4.6. Starpower designs Atmos systems based on room dimensions, ceiling height, and performance goals—then calibrates for optimal imaging.

How do audio integrators design whole-home sound systems?

Integrators design distributed audio by mapping zones throughout your home, specifying appropriate speakers for each space, installing amplification and source equipment, and programming the automation interface. Each zone can play independently or group together. Control4, Crestron, and Savant provide intuitive interfaces. Starpower designs systems from a few rooms to entire estates with consistent quality throughout.

What speaker brands do professional integrators recommend?

Top integrators specify premium brands based on application: Bowers & Wilkins, JBL Synthesis, and MartinLogan for high-performance theater; Klipsch and Paradigm for architectural installations; and outdoor-rated speakers from Coastal Source and others. Starpower is factory-certified with these brands, ensuring proper installation, calibration, and warranty support.

How important is acoustic treatment for surround sound?

Acoustic treatment is critical for optimal performance. Our professional audio integrators address first reflections, bass buildup, and room resonance through absorption panels, diffusers, and bass traps. Even modest treatments dramatically improve clarity and imaging. For dedicated theaters, comprehensive acoustic design transforms the experience. Starpower provides acoustic analysis and integrates treatments with your interior design.
