Audio Images Wins CEDIA’s Global Award for Best Media Room

 

California Integrator Sets the Standard for High-quality Media Rooms

Every year, CEDIA picks from the top integrators across the country to select the winner of the Best Media Room Award. Today our team reflects on one of our very best projects which not only won Best Media Room in 2016, but also the CEDIA Global Award for Best Media Room. 

The award recognizes the world’s best projects as judged by CEDIA, the international trade association for companies that manufacture, design and install goods and services for the smart home.

“I’m super proud of my team, and I’m excited for the recognition—not just for us, but for the industry as a whole,” Mark Ontiveros, President of Audio Images, said. “I think there are a lot of people who don’t realize you can have a high-performance system like this where you can recreate a concert or experience a film, and still have a beautiful room. We want to do a better job of marketing that to the luxury community.”

Audio Images was previously selected as the category winner for Best Media Room in the Americas and was then later evaluated against the winning projects from technology integrators based in Asia, Europe, Russia, Africa, and The Middle East.  Last year was the very first time CEDIA opened the global category and allowed technology integrators from all over the world to submit their noteworthy projects for consideration.  Winners were announced on September 16, 2016 at the CEDIA Expo in Dallas, Texas.

Audio Images’ award-winning media room is a perfect example of how both high-quality audio video and interior design can be combined to create a multipurpose room that meets the requirements for performance and beauty. The client, a dedicated audiophile in Southern Orange County, wanted to transform his living room into a high-performance media room where he could enjoy listening to his favorite music albums, but still meet his wife’s requirements for a beautiful interior design.

The Audio Images team installed 12 speakers in the walls to produce a full, Dolby Atmos surround sound experience, a motorized screen that drops down out of the ceiling, a Sony 4K projector in the wall of an adjacent office, motorized window treatments to block out the light, and acoustical treatments.  They worked with an interior designer to perfect the aesthetics in the room and used automation technology to hide all of the equipment and then make it appear at the press of one button.

 “When we first played it for the client, he started crying,” Ontiveros said.  “That’s how good it is. He can watch his NFL game, a movie, or sit with his son and listen to a music album. It’s a multipurpose space, yet it’s elegant, clean, and beautiful.”

Ontiveros says that the demand for traditional dedicated home theaters is declining in favor of discreet multi-purpose media rooms that can transform with the push of a button. Audio Images works intimately with each client to design and produce projects that are custom tailored to meet their needs.

“I’m most proud of the fact that we took the client’s dream of achieving sound nirvana and completely exceeded his expectations,” Ontiveros said.  “It was great to work with an incredible team and a client who appreciates the work we do. The end result is really what makes this worth doing.”

Testimonials

"You and your Audio Images team have far surpassed our expectations for our audio vision needs in the building of our new home. It is so refreshing to work with such talented, honest, conscientious people. You have all of the cutting edge technology information, and you have explained the options very well. You have smoothly worked with designers, contractors and carpenters, and the results are great."
— Bill and Sue Gross

“Thank you so much for rushing over when you did. I am most appreciative. It meant a lot to me and just reinforces everything Audio Images stands for. It’s funny because one of my neighbors was complaining about his audio video experience last night and I mentioned to him that your service was at a level I had not seen from another company and tonight just reinforced that. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate you rushing over here...”
— Glenn Welling

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for getting our entire home AV system working flawlessly and in the process making it so amazingly user friendly and simple. After the new/updated hardware was all installed in a timely manner and after all the Crestron AV reprogramming was done, I am still amazed daily at our ‘new’ home AV system. I very much enjoyed working with John on the Crestron AV system programming and was extremely impressed...”
— Matt Parsons

“Tammy and I want to thank you for the exceptional job your company did at our home. Your staff was very knowledgeable and professional and also very responsive and obliging. We are delighted with the system you suggested and installed. We thought what we had before was great but this new system far exceeded our expectation. The remotes are very easy to use and it is amazing just what they can do. We also are extremely impressed with the kaleidoscope system...”
— John and Tammy Miller

“It has been a bit over two years since Audio Images designed and installed our home theatre systems, whole house audio and wireless network. This is our fourth home to have similar systems, but the first done by Audio Images. We have to say this is the only home in which everything still works. The system was well designed, easy to operate, and your follow up service has always been prompt and professional...”
— Tom Denison

“Thanks for the great work on our custom home in Newport Beach. We all are enjoying the home theater in the basement and the audio system throughout the house is functioning well. I am impressed by your diligence in getting the job done correctly, and your prompt handling of the minor technical issues that arise from time to time as expected during the first few months. Your entire team is very professional, qualified and a pleasure to work with.”
— Bob Gorab

“I have wanted a theater room for over 20 years. The purchase of my new home was based on the possibility of creating a new room that would feature a state-of-the-art theater room to entertain myself and my family for years to come. For this reason, my research into the proper person and proper company to build this project for us was extensive and spanned over a year. I talked to dozens of individuals...”
— Chetan K. Mehta

“Mark takes what he does very seriously. Servicing his clients with the highest quality results is super important to him. He’s not after their money; he’s after giving them top-level service. That can be hard to accomplish in the world of custom... Mark has taken this to an art form.”
— Anthony Grimani
