When it comes to home theater systems, most of your customers have probably updated their TVs from the dinosaur CRT TV to its thinner, sleeker and smarter successor: the flat panel TV. But most of them are still likely using older home audio components. Why not start your next conversation inquiring if your customer has given thought to upgrading their home audio system? With so many high-margin products and accessories available either for a professional installation makeover or DIY job, you’re sure to turn up the volume on your home audio sales.
No Frames Necessary
Frameless speakers were truly designed for the modern day home theater. Just like flat panel TVs, they’re thin but certainly don’t skimp on features. For example, Proficient Audio Systems’ new Thin-Bezel Ceiling Speakers are both beauty and beast when it comes to audio quality. These flush-mount speakers feature high-tech aluminum tweeters to deliver smooth, lifelike vocals and crystal-clear highs, while graphite woofers produce tight, deep bass. Even more impressive are the X-mount tweeter bridges, which allow users to position the tweeter to their preferred “sweet spot” for optimal sound. Installers and integrators benefit from the X-mount design, since it provides the perfect place to grip the speaker during installation!
Another note-worthy option is the Pinnacle Systems Wafer Series. Keeping to the less-is-more theme, these speakers feature an edgeless, no-bezel contemporary design to match super thin TVs. Virtually flush, these speakers only protrude 4mm from the wall or ceiling. A specially mounted, microperf grille completely covers the speakers’ trim lip for a clean and sleek look. Kevlar cones produce superior stability and detail at all power levels. These speakers look great and sound even better. ArchiTech’s are also a good choice, are weather proof and even include options for customers to pick between round or square metal grilles.
Whatever frameless speaker brand your customers choose, an additional benefit is that the grilles are magnetically attached to the speaker and can easily be removed or even replaced. The grilles can also be painted to match an interior or exterior color for your customers who want their speakers integrated right into their decor!
Bluetooth Soundbars
For customers who don’t want to hire a professional installer or tackle speaker installation themselves, there’s no reason for them to get blue over a home audio upgrade–unless, we’re talking Bluetooth. Bluetooth speaker bars are a great option for your customers who want to update their audio system more cost effectively. While Bluetooth speakers might not be the best option for serious audiophiles, they’re sure to impress customers who are looking for an improved sound with a simple setup. Pair customers with the Proficient Audio Systems MaxTV Plug & Play Amplified Tabletop Soundbar or the Audiosource 200-Watt Bluetooth Soundbar with sonic emotion 3D Sound.
Soundbars require only the most basic installation skills and can be mounted discretely beneath a flat panel TV. The best part is that while they’re not the same as installing a complete home audio system, they do provide a significant audio upgrade to enhance any home theater experience. Bluetooth capability also allows users to stream music from most smart devices, effortlessly.
