The Dean Team’s showroom was upgraded recently by The Sound Room to better entertain and inform clients through both multi-zone, multi-source high-quality audio and video distribution systems.

The video system is capable of distributing up to six different video sources to an unlimited number of displays. Currently the system has four client facing displays and a large video wall comprised of six 55-inch high brightness LCD panels put in a 3×2 pattern to create a more than 12-foot diagonal screen. The set-up is designed to truly capture the customers’ eye from anywhere in the room.

The screen is capable of showing several different combos of the six sources so they can choose which combination best suits their needs. All of the rooms that have televisions or speakers are capable of mixing and matching the sources and independent control of the volume so they can be tailored to the different sound levels including when they’re entertaining clients. They also have multi-zone paging, that they can use through their own system for announcements and employee communication.

As part of the video distribution system, The Sound Room included two digital signage media players so that both Subaru and Volkswagen sides of the building can have independent signs for clients.

The system is easily controlled through a series of touch panels around the office and The Sound Room also put in scheduling to make it easier when they walk in and out for the day.

We sat down with one of our Sales Associates, Tim B. to hear his story on a great experience that he had working with a client. He was able to exceed the family’s expectations for connecting their home, and they have since had Tim and The Sound Room back on multiple occasions to make updates and upgrades to their system. We love the great relationships that we foster with our clients!

Aaron Blake:
Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones
Price: $349
This year I’m choosing the Bose Quiet Comfort 35. After spending 14 & ½ hours on a plane with a screaming child, I can say with certainty that I will never board an airplane without a set of noise cancelling headphones. These are not only the best noise canceling head phones Bose has ever made they are also the best sounding ones as well. Excellent Bluetooth connectivity, great battery life, cannot recommend highly enough.

Joshua Beard:
Paradigm Prestige 95F Tower Speakers
Price: $4999. pair

At The Sound Room, we have a team of very passionate employees who not only sell and install the products we carry, but also love them and use them at their homes. Each year, we reach out to our sales team and ask them what items they would love to unwrap this holiday season. You should see the smiles on their faces as they think through the items and what they’d like to add to their audiophile collection. It’s pretty hard to get each person to narrow it down to just ONE item, but we managed!

If you’re looking for the perfect gift, look no further. We have combed through our stock and pulled together the best items to gift this year into our Holiday Gift Guide. You’ll make someone (maybe yourself) very, very happy with these holiday gifts.

And now, without any further ado, here is The Sound Room’s 2017 staff favorites!Control 4 Home Automation System
Price: $ Wide Range

The reason I chose Control4 as my holiday pick is “Home Automation” seems to be the big buzz word of the year. Whether it’s whole house audio, security, surveillance, environmental control, lighting, or simply having one remote to control your family room TV system Control4 has a solution for you. Also Control4 doesn’t have an “all or nothing” approach. You can get the features you want and not pay for the ones you don’t. Come on by our showroom for a full demonstration.

Father’s Day is almost here, and if you’re a procrastinator, never fear! At The Sound Room we have the gifts that will make Dad’s jaw drop and leave him speechless.

In case you missed it, David Young was on KMOV’s Great Day St. Louis this week with Kent Ehrhardt giving him a closer look at our topic gift picks for Dad.

The Sound Room Makes CE Pro’s Top 100 for 2017

The company ranks No. 31 among the nation’s custom installation companies

June 8, 2017: CHESTERFIELD, Mo. – The Sound Room, St. Louis’ premier home technology retailer, announced the company’s spot on the CE Pro Top 100 list, which ranks among the nation’s top custom integrators. The company was named No. 31, and has been on the list for over a decade.

CE Pro, a leading electronics trade publication, ranked CE Pro 100 integrators based upon its 2017 revenue. During this period, The Sound Room generated more than $7 million in revenue, despite the closing of many consumer big box electronics retailers.

“In our 33 years of business, we’ve seen many big box stores struggle due to their focus of selling boxes,” said David Young, The Sound Room President. “Not only are we expanding our space with the continued growth, but we focus on finding solutions for our customers.”

Father’s Day is right around the corner, and as a dad, you might be making a list of your dream gifts to hand off to your wife and kids. Because, let’s face it. We only need so many ties, we are set on coffee mugs, and we really cannot handle another pair of “funny” boxers. They might be funny for a couple minutes, but wearing them is a whole other story.

Now, for the gifts Dad REALLY want this Father’s Day… outdoor entertainment! That’s right, the weather is perfect for spending time relaxing, grilling and hanging out with family and friends. We have the perfect gifts that will show your Dad, or husband, that you really do care.

Well you’re in luck! We have Paradigm Outdoor Speakers on sale for 20% off, while supplies last, get your Father’s Day gift early and be the best gift giver he’s ever met. For those summer BBQ’s and pool parties, there is nothing better than enjoying some music!

Sonos wireless audio always makes for hot gifts, but they’re looking even more attractive with this special offer! Take $100 off SUB, $50 off 2 PLAY:1’s, or go all out and do both! Offer is good through June 18th, so be sure to pick your Sonos up today!

Picture this scenario: you can enjoy a beer outside on the patio with some friends, soaking up the beautiful weather OR you could sit inside and watch the baseball game. Now you have to choose- miss the beautiful weather or miss the big game? You don’t have to choose if you have an all weather television, you can have the best of both worlds! Now through June 30th, take $200 off any 55″ and 65″ Séura Storm Outdoor TV’s! Séura is an award-winning manufacturer of television mirrors, waterproof televisions, outdoor TV’s and lighted mirrors, and needless to say, they know they’re stuff! The picture quality is stunning and you won’t have to worry about rain, snow, cold temperatures or unexpected climate changes to ruin your pride and joy! This special offer won’t last long, so be sure to stop by The Sound Room soon to pick up a Séura TV and please not only dad, but the whole family.

Did you know that June 1st is Pepper Day? No, not spicy peppers. Not Dr. Pepper. Not the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was 50 years ago on June 1^st, The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.  In honor of this momentous occasion, Pro-Ject turntables wanted to celebrate and what better way than by creating two Limited Edition Sgt. Pepper themed turntables.

We’ve seen these beautiful limited edition turntables and you certainly want to add them to your collection! The Essential III Sgt. Pepper’s Drum is an upgraded version of the Essential III model, which incorporates a low mass one-piece tonearm with sapphire bearings, an Ortofon OM10 and an acrylic platter. It undergoes a unique painting process that gives it an embossed feel and looks stunning. We will have the Essential III Sgt. Pepper’s Drum for sale for $499.

The 2Xperience Sgt. Pepper is a VERY limited edition model based on the 2Xperience SB and is equipped with an Ortofon 2M Silver. It includes an EVO 3 Carbon Fiber tonearm, composite platter with integrated mat made from recycled vinyl records for the ultimate record/platter interface and built in SpeedBox. This high end turntable not only looks good, but sounds incredible! We will have it available for $1499 for a limited time!

To commemorate the 50th anniversary, Apple Corps gave Giles Martin, the son of Sir George Martin, complete access to the original tapes and encouraged him to do a proper stereo mix while staying faithful to the Beatles’ original vision. In the new Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Box set, you can hear the original mono mixes, the new stereo mixes and even a 5.1 version as well as outtakes and bonus tracks!

Come into the Sounds Room and listen to the Sgt. Pepper’s re-released album on a limited edition Pro-Ject turntable and enter for a chance to win the “Box Set”! The Limited Edition Pro-Ject turntables can be purchased while supplies last, so be sure to take advantage of these special turntables while they’re in stock! This special promotion will run from Thursday, June 1st through Sunday, June 4th. Help us celebrate the Beatles the best way possible, with music galore at The Sound Room.

We are blown away by the tremendous turn out at our Grand Opening Celebration on February 23rd! A big thank you to 400+ people who came out to join us, it was wonderful to see our showroom filled with so many friends, customers, vendors and new faces. In case you weren’t able to stop by, here’s a recap of our Grand Opening Celebration.

We started the Grand Opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce and Chesterfield Mayor, Bob Nation. We were lucky enough to have one of our staff members and great photographer, Justin Barr, get some fun shots of the store and ribbon cutting from his drone.

We had the pleasure of Mark Reardon and KMOX broadcasting their show live from The Sound Room. It was a fun opportunity for us to have Mark and the crew at the store. We had fun talking through the new showroom features and some of our favorite products.

The Grand Opening was scheduled to begin at 4pm, but we had people showing up starting at 2pm for a tour of the store and to talk to vendors.

Speaking of vendors, we had a great turnout of reps on hand to discuss new products, offer special sales and talk to our customers. Those vendors included Anthem, AudioQuest, Autco-Luxul, Bowers & Wilkins, Bose, Classe, Control 4, Crestron, Epson, Goldenear, Hikvision, Integra, JL Audio, Lutron, McIntosh, Paradigm, Rotel, Salamander, Sanus, Screen Innocations, Seura, Sonance, Sonos, Sony, Stewart, Totem and URC and more.

The time has come, months of hard work, planning and construction, we are ready for our Grand Opening Celebration! Come out and join us for free food, drinks and weekend-long specials on February 23, 2017. After 33 years in business, we have grown and were ready to expand. The move to our new location in Chesterfield Valley has been an adventure, and we are excited to share our progress and show off our new showroom.

Come to our Grand Opening to see our new technologically advanced showroom, built to our exact specifications. One of our favorite features of the new store and showroom is the massive amount of space we have! We are now able to host events and are planning to host events monthly, ranging from custom home builder events, to movie premiers to charity events.

When we heard about the Gary Sinise Foundation and their R.I.S.E (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment) program was building a house in Carbondale, IL  for SFC Jared Bullock, we knew we wanted to be involved. Core Brands reached out to us to see if we were interested in participating in this project and we jumped. We reached out to the foundation, offered our services and are thrilled to be a part of this project. The goal of this project was to build a smart home that is fully functional for Jared and his family.

Jared and his twin brother enlisted in the Army two years after the 9/11 attacks, and in October of 2013 Jared earned his Green Beret. In November of 2013 while on a routine patrol, Jared was severely injured when his ATV ran over an improvised explosive device. He lost his right arm and his right leg in the accident and has since undergone over 30 surgeries. Thanks to the Gary Sinise Foundation, Jared, his wife Jessica and their son Aiden will be able to start a new chapter in their lives in a fully automated specially adapted smart home.

This is an extremely exciting home, featuring security, automated remote door locks,  lighting control, motorized shades), video surveillance and recording for security, entertainment including whole house audio and video. This house will be fully automated and be able to controlled via iPad, Tablet and smart phones. There will be touch panels in the Great Room of the house along with other appropriate locations that will make it easy for use.

We are working with our suppliers and vendors to get as much as we can donated to the project, and we have been amazed by the support we have received. Our staff have stepped up as well, donating their time and expertise to the project. The house is expected to be completed in early summer and we can’t wait to share pictures of the final home with you!

For the first time in history, Sonos will be offering a special holiday sale promotion during the holiday period. Their goal this season is to fill every home with music and we look forward to making this happen! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so be sure to take advantage of these specials while supplies last! We have Sonos product flying out the doors, will you be one of the lucky folks bringing Sonos home this holiday season?

Last week we shared Part 1 of our Holiday Gift Guide and we’ve been hearing amazing feedback! And without further ado, here is Part 2 of our Holiday Gift Guide:

Jared Lange:
Anthem P5
If anyone was looking to buy me a gift this holiday season (ahem, sweet, sweet Uncle David Young), the Anthem P5 would be on the top of my list. It’s a 5 channel amplifier that is big, powerful and would be perfect for my theater room. I’ve been needing a new amp and this would be the perfect addition to my system. We currently don’t have one in the story so we just placed an order, while I wait I’ve been going online and looking at pictures of my lovely Anthem P5.

McIntosh MC275
I have had this on my list for the past couple years, and one these days someone will break down and buy it for me (or, I’ll finally treat myself). The Mcintosh MC275 is a vacuum tube power amplifier that has all the features needed to make every music enthusiast very, very happy. It delivers 75 watts per channel into eight, four or two ohms, or 150 watts in bridged mono mode, via four KT-88 power tubes. It looks awesome and sounds like 2 majestic, beautiful unicorns mating (also known as sounds amazing). I would be one very happy and complete man to add the MC275 to my collection.

Gary Macchi:
Crestron Matrix Video Switcher
I recently updated and installed new TV’s throughout my home. I wanted a way to connect all of the televisions to the BlueRay, DirecTV and Wi-Fi with one system. With the Crestron Matrix Video Switcher, I can do just that! I’ll admit, I bought myself an early Christmas present because I fell in love with this device. I was able to install it in the lower level and distribute all of our systems throughout the house. It’s cleaner, simpler to use and everyone in the house is happy. It’s not just a gift for me, it’s a gift for the whole family!

At The Sound Room, we have a team of very passionate employees who not only sell the products we sell, but also love them and use them at their homes. Each year, we reach out to our sales team and ask them what items they would love unwrap this holiday season. You should see the smiles on their faces as they think through the items and what they’d like to add to their audiophile collection. It’s pretty hard to get each person to narrow it down to just ONE item, but we managed!

If you’re looking for the perfect gift, look no further. We have combed through our stock and pulled together the best items to gift this year. You’ll make someone (maybe yourself) very, very happy with these holiday gifts.

And now, without any further ado, here is The Sound Room’s 2016 Holiday Gift Guide!

Jim Kuhlmeyer:
Rotel RA 1592
This 200 watt per channel integrated amplifier is a wonderful new product we’re carrying at The Sound Room that I would LOVE to receive as a gift this year. It’s one of the best sounding integrated amps. It’s unique because of the 200 watts. Most amplifiers only have 1/2 that amount of wattage. The Rotel RA 1592 can drive virtually any speaker, sounds great and is super powerful. If you want to buy me or a gift (or any music lover in your life) look no further than the Rotel RA 1592.
