StormAudio elevates the home theater experience at reimagined dealer showroom

2024, September 20

A unique combination of design-forward, technologically advanced AV gear, powered by a StormAudio ISP Elite 24 Analog MK3 processor, inspires visitors of QAV’s remodeled demo theater to dream big when it comes to their own entertainment environments.

When homeowners visit the showroom of an AV integrator, they expect to see the latest and greatest products and technology, gathering inspiration for their own home tech projects. For firms like Quality Audio Video (QAV), presenting the very best in AV requires constant vigilance to keep their showroom as current and cutting-edge as possible.

“We want to give our customers a clear idea of what’s possible today and in the future when you invest in the right AV solutions,” said QAV CEO and founder Tyson Rabani.

This philosophy led the team to embark on a major makeover of every element of QAV’s 3,000-square-foot showroom, which included a significant update of their already impressive home theater space.

QAV’s comprehensive upgrade to its QAV Theater Reimagined extended beyond the obvious components – like a bigger, better projection screen and more powerful speakers. It also involved a complete cosmetic redesign accentuated by an impressive lighting design of color-changing ceiling and wall fixtures, plus a major overhaul of the AV and control systems working behind the scenes to deliver the most accurate representation of the original content, if not better.

“The performance of our showroom had always been exceptional, but we felt if there was a way to do it better, we should,” Rabani explains. “Everything from the color of the wall paint and style of seating to the processors, speakers and sources were scrutinized and evaluated. We knew it was time to raise the bar with the right design, the right products, and the right sales approach. Our new QAV Theater Reimagined experience embodies this commitment to excellence, offering an unparalleled level of immersion and quality for our customers.”

Rabani admits StormAudio, a global leader in high-quality, innovative and immersive sound processors and amplifiers, wasn’t initially on QAV’s remodeling radar. “We weren’t familiar with the brand; however, it came highly recommended by a top-tier acoustician, so we decided to integrate the ISP Elite 24 Analog MK3 processor into our comprehensive AV plan.”

Incorporating StormAudio ended up being one of the best decisions QAV made. “It checked all of the boxes: attractive price, extensive calibration capabilities, adherence to all the required specs, and exceptional support from the manufacturer’s rep,” Rabani explained. “StormAudio’s dealer programs, special demo pricing, training and support, and sales and shipping processes sealed the deal.”

As for the StormAudio ISP Elite 24 Analog MK3 processor’s performance, Rabani said, “None of the other processors we considered came close to this top-of-the-line processor.” The QAV Reimagined Theater requires substantial processing power to feed 32 commercial-grade speakers from L-Acoustics with crisp, clear, multi-dimensional Dolby Atmos audio from a wide variety of source components. The StormAudio processor handles it all beautifully.

QAV purposely includes streaming content in its demonstrations to underscore the necessity for quality AV systems. “The StormAudio processor certainly makes even streaming audio sound better, but when visitors hear the difference between streaming audio and audio provided by a StormAudio/Kaleidescape pairing, the choice is clear,” he said. “They understand the importance of high-quality audio equipment when watching movies and other high-res content, utilizing streaming solutions purely for convenient access to bountiful content.”

Positioned squarely on the cutting-edge, the AV experience provided in part by the StormAudio ISP Elite 24 Analog MK3 “is like no other,” Rabani said. Indeed, the StormAudio-powered QAV Theater Reimagined has become one of the company’s most powerful sales tools. “People have to hear and see the difference quality design, materials, lighting and AV equipment make to truly appreciate it,” he emphasized.

Products demonstrated in the QAV Theater Reimagined show the unparalleled level of enjoyment that can be achieved by choosing the best audio and visual solutions along with a team of passionate AV experts who can design, integrate and install them for optimal performance.

With due diligence and commitment to create one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences for their clientele, QAV accomplished what it set out to do. “The market for dedicated home theaters is experiencing a rebirth and we’re ready to meet the demand,” Rabani concluded.
