It’s a terrific time of year to be a sports fan. NCAA and NFL football are in full swing, and the NBA season started a couple of weeks ago. While there’s nothing like tailgating and spending the afternoon in the stadium or evening in the arena to see your favorite sporting event live, couch-bound coaches can utilize the right home theater products and accessories combined with the plethora of satellite and cable channels to catch all of the action without leaving the house.
The centerpiece of any home theater is, without question, the screen. To catch all the action, bigger is better, and the 50″ 1080p Direct LED HDTV by Proscan is sure to fit the bill. For slightly smaller options, the iLive 39″ 1080p Direct LED TV boasts high-quality audio/video features and a large display. GPX features two 32” TVs, both with excellent audio/video features, one as a standard LED TV and the other a convenient LED TV/DVD combination for non-game nights.
Perhaps a TV screen isn’t quite large enough to accommodate a large group. In this case, a projector is a compact, yet a highly efficient solution to suggest to your most rabid fans. Manufacturers constantly release new models with ever-expanding features, many of which connect to a TV and project larger-than-life images that dwarf the capabilities of most TVs. Of course, to complement this option, a good projector screen can bring near silver screen experiences to any living room.
As the game will span several hours, it’s likely that tuning in will come at the cost of missing another game on a different channel. Rather than struggling with which game to watch, TiVo offers a number of options to record several simultaneous broadcasts. Customers can even serve up their own instant replay or pause the live action to replenish refreshments without missing a down or basket.
No fully immersive home theater experience is complete without dynamic sound, and Petra offers a wide variety of audio options. Famed for its quality, Mitek offers a number of product lines to emulate the in-stadium sound experience such as the stand-alone MTX series, or in-ceiling/wall DCM series. For customers who want superb sound, yet need to economize space, tower speakers and soundbars ensure a new level of sound while occupying a minimal amount of room. Your customers will be amazed by the booming sound of helmets clashing or the pitchy squeaks of shoes on the court.
All of the components mentioned can create a home theater system/mini-arena that would be the envy of your neighbors but they also require a means to connect and organize them. Petra carries an extensive line of accessories to do so. From HDMI and component cables to projector mounts, speaker mounts and cable management systems, you’re sure to find what you need to offer your customers a full home theater set up.
Updating your customers’ home theater system provides you with ample opportunities to maximize your profits. Dedicating a section of your floor space to show all components and accessories in action will help your customers visualize a completed system in their homes. Most every item mentioned here can be easily installed by a well-equipped do-it-yourselfer but if you offer installation services, you have even greater profit opportunities.
