Technology is many things. It keeps us connected, engaged, and allows us to access news and information via our fingertips. It advances at a rapid rate, and whether it’s a smartphone, security system or HD television, we have come to depend on it deeply. Technology is great when it works, but misery when it doesn’t, that’s why it’s important to work with a certified Crestron programmer when adding technology to your home.

Oftentimes when our devices stop working, our lives come to a halt. Ever tried troubleshooting on you own? When’s the last time you looked at your product manual? If you answered never, you are not alone. The team at Relative Home Systems is here to help you, whether you’re in The Woodlands, River Oaks, or Austin, TX.

When time and patience are limited, what are you to do? We possess the know-how to correctly install, configure, and troubleshoot your home automation systems. Our Creston programmers are well versed in A/V schematics, following wiring diagrams, and troubleshooting both hardware and software. We’ll resolve issues quickly so you can get back to enjoying the many benefits of smart home technology. We have extensive experience with home theaters, high-performance audio distribution systems, lighting control, and home networking. We know reliability is just as important as a system that is easy-to-use.

Whether you’re looking to design a new system or upgrade one that already exists, we’ve got you covered. For more than 13 years, we’ve designed, installed, and maintained Crestron home automation systems.

You and your family are unique and so too should be your home’s control system. Crestron provides nearly limitless options when it comes to what you can control in your home and how you interact with the various subsystems. The consistent element in life is change. So when your needs change, your Crestron system can evolve right along with you and your family.

Technology is all around us. Electronic devices permeate our lives and occupy much of our time throughout the day. Perhaps you need to unplug from it all and want to hide the technology within your River Oaks or Austin home. The technology integrators at Relative Home Systems are ready to help. We’ll make you aware of the available options and guide you in selecting electronic components to blend into your interior decor.

Speakers Should Be Heard, Not Seen

There’s nothing quite like the sound of classical music streaming throughout the various rooms in your home. With whole home audio, it’s important to take into account the appearance of your system. Cumbersome technology can be hidden away, out of sight, so guests are able to focus on your elegant décor instead. Relative Home Systems recommends in-wall or in-ceiling speakers that fade away into your space while still producing remarkable sound. By using acoustically transparent fabric, we can also hide speakers in a variety locations.

Cover Up Those Cables

Most technologies, no matter how sophisticated, usually require running wires and cables that can be quite unsightly. Fortunately, the professionals at Relative can make them nearly invisible. Installing wires and cords along the trim or through the walls can bring a seamless look that does not obstruct your interior design. Other options include installing wire under carpeting, through the ceiling, or along baseboards using “flat” cables.

Regardless of your budget and décor tastes, Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) has a speaker system that fits your lifestyle and entices your ears. B&W offers a line of wireless audio products, a well-regarded line of headphones, and a series of different loudspeakers. The company is best known for its uncompromising approach to loudspeaker design and engineering and recently won the “Stereo Speakers of the Year” award. Whether you live in The Woodlands, River Oaks, or Tanglewood, Relative Home Systems can design and install a whole home audio system sure to impress even the most sophisticated audiophile.

A Speaker for Every Occasion

At the high-end of the speaker spectrum are B&W’s 800 Series Diamond Loudspeakers. When placed in opposite corners of the room, this floor-standing system offers crisp resonance. If you’re looking to class up nearly any room in your home, we suggest the CM8 Series 2. These loudspeakers deliver a sound that is both engaging and comfortable.

Small and Mighty HiFi to Go

If you’re looking for a portable wireless solution for your home, then you’ll want to explore B&W’s pick-up-and-play HiFi speaker. Perfectly sized for bedrooms, kitchens and even outdoor spaces, the T7 is portable and quite versatile. Its wireless connection lets you stream music from any Bluetooth-enabled PC, tablet or mobile phone without the need for a Wi-Fi network. Once charged, the speaker is good for 18 hours of solid playback. Take it with you to the park or your next BBQ.

As a Houston and The Woodlands, Texas-area integrator, we take great pride in providing the local community with the highest quality products from top national and global manufacturers. Both Dolby Atmos and Triad fit into that category, so we recommend these brands to customers rather regularly.

But what exactly are the best features of these speakers, and how can Relative Home Systems design the right placement for them in your home? In this blog, we have the answers for you and details on how to create the perfect whole house music system.

Create custom setups with Triad

Triad is an American manufacturer you can trust, with most of their speakers built-to-order in Portland, Oregon. The majority of the speakers can be painted in any color, and their veneer finishes are extremely popular as well.

With Triad, you not only get premium, high-end sound, but also a product that is versatile enough to be used in any space. For example, they have an InRoom Bronze LCR, but also offer InCeiling, OnWall, and InWall versions as well.
