North Carolina Homeowners  Turn to Audio Advice in Their Quest for Quality and Longevity

No-Holds-Barred Smart Home

There are options galore when it comes to outfitting a new home with technology. There’s the basic plan that involves the addition of a few key components, the room-to-grow approach that starts small but gradually expands, then there’s the all-out, no-holds-barred method. The owners of this custom home chose the latter. 

“Above all, they wanted high-performance from the systems on their newly built dream home,” said Scott Newnam, CEO of Audio Advice, the integration firm hired to take technology to the next level in this custom 14,000-square-foot residence. “They had experienced home electronics in their previous homes at moderate levels, and now they wanted something better, something that afforded even greater ease of use and exceeded their expectations on every level.”

Challenge accepted! With more than 40 years of home-tech experience under their belts, the integration team at Audio Advice knew just what to do. They would integrate a wide variety of time-tested technologies into the residence and tie them all to an advanced control processor from Control4. Able to manage, monitor and automate every light, thermostat, AV component, security camera, and much, much more, Control4 would deliver everything the owners dreamed of — simplicity, fun, and a clean, modern aesthetic.
