AIC Featured in CE Pro Magazine for Innovative Home Theater Design
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: AIC (Advanced Integrated Controls) has been featured in the latest issue of CE Pro Magazine, a leading industry publication dedicated to the world of custom electronics, smart home systems, and high-end technology integration. This recognition marks a proud moment for our team, as CE Pro is known for spotlighting the most cutting-edge trends, companies, and solutions in the custom electronics industry.
Highlighting the Rise in Home Theater Installations
In this month’s issue, CE Pro Magazine features a special segment that explores the significant rise in home theater installations over the past few years. As many homeowners spent more time indoors during the pandemic, interest in high-performance, immersive home entertainment experiences skyrocketed. This trend has led to a sharp uptick in custom home theater requests, prompting integrators and designers alike to adapt quickly and creatively.
The section offers a comprehensive look at today’s home theater market. From fascinating facts and statistics about consumer habits to detailed breakdowns of popular equipment choices and pricing tiers, CE Pro covers it all. Readers can find valuable insights into what’s trending, including cutting-edge display technologies, immersive surround sound options, and how aesthetics now play a more central role than ever in theater design.
AIC’s “Marshland Marvel” Project in the Spotlight
We are incredibly honored that one of our standout projects, affectionately dubbed the “Marshland Marvel,” was selected for inclusion in this feature. The article shines a spotlight on the unique challenges and innovations involved in creating this one-of-a-kind home automation and entertainment space.
What makes the Marshland Marvel so special? At its core, this project was all about seamless integration and subtle sophistication. The homeowner wanted a powerful, fully integrated home theater system that wouldn’t compromise the room’s elegant and modern design. To bring this vision to life, our team worked closely with the client from the ground up, focusing on concealment, performance, and ease of use.
We implemented a state-of-the-art Elan g! control system, which became the central brain of the entire home automation network. With this system in place, everything—from lighting and audio to video and climate control—can be managed effortlessly from a single interface, whether via smartphone, tablet, or a sleek in-wall touch panel.
A particularly impressive element of this CE Pro Magazine project is how we approached the audio design. Rather than using standard, visible speaker systems, we opted for custom-engineered subwoofers and speakers that are cleverly hidden within the walls. These components were meticulously color-matched and finished to blend in flawlessly with the room’s existing décor, making them practically invisible while delivering exceptional sound quality.
Bringing Design and Technology Together
The Marshland Marvel is a testament to our belief that technology should enhance a space—not dominate it. We take pride in crafting solutions that are not only functional but also visually unobtrusive. Whether it’s hiding a subwoofer behind custom millwork or programming smart lighting to create the perfect ambiance for movie night, every detail is considered.
For those interested in seeing the full scope of this project, we encourage you to check out our video tour of the Marshland Marvel. It offers an inside look at the craftsmanship and innovation that went into this project, highlighting just how far custom home technology has come.
