Picture this: a star-covered ceiling, a colossal 98-inch flat screen, surround sound, theater seating, and seamless lighting — all controlled with a simple touch. Such was the dream of Tennessee homeowners, who work in the bustling airline industry as a pilot and flight attendant. When at home, they wanted a place where they could relax and entertain. Their dream was brought to life by AV integrator Cobb Home Innovations and powered by the affordable simplicity of Pro Control.
“A home theater is a masterpiece of entertainment, and control plays a pivotal role in this experience,” said Hugh Cobb, founder of Cobb Home Innovations. “With Pro Control, you get maximum value without maxing out your budget.”
The challenge was to transform the bonus room over the garage into a multifunctional haven, serving as a daily media room, the ultimate home theater, and a pool room. The transformation included a 900 series Samsung flat panel, a Sony Blu-ray player, a sophisticated surround sound system featuring Sonos, Martin Logan loudspeakers, KEF amps, and a Yamaha receiver. The lighting system includes an Epix Sky Custom Star Ceiling, and a Lutron Caseta lighting control and Lutron roller shades to enhance the cinematic atmosphere.
The true powerhouse of the home theater is the Pro Control system. It orchestrates every aspect of the room, offering multiple scene options based on the room’s purpose. From the Pro Control app or controller, the homeowners can set the room based on their viewing and listening pleasure.
The “movie time” button sets the stage with perfect lighting and activates the display, Sony Blu-ray player, and the audio system. Another scene allows for separate control of the room’s border RGB lighting, granting the flexibility to adjust colors or turn them off entirely. For the star ceiling, they can switch to fireworks display with synchronized audio. Audio options include a choice of multiple surround sound settings. They can even turn the lighting for the popcorn machine on and off.
“Our goal is to provide the best while keeping it refreshingly simple,” Cobb said. “With Pro Control, it’s easy — for the installer and for the homeowner. Whether one button is executing one task or 10, it’s simple while making a big impact on the experience.”
When it comes to top-notch home theater experiences, it’s all in the details. With Pro Control, even the most intricate of tasks become effortlessly simple.
