Before and After Big Screen Conversion

Before - A Big Screen in a Custom Cabinet | After - Larger 4K TV Outside the Cabinet Niche & Custom Cabinet Underneath


Take advantage of our shopping/delivery service. We charge you the invoice price of the TV plus our time and gas. With Netflix and other streaming video build inside of the TV, we connect the audio from the TV to your older surround receiver so you hear what you see. This eliminates lip sync problems and the need for HDMI switching in the receiver. 


A home theater can start with a flat screen TV and a basic soundbar.


This is an example of our work to retrofit HDTV's into cabinets made for Large Rear Projection TVs. For a greater size picture you may be able to add cabinet storage below. Do you have a rear projection TV in a niche that needs replaced? Did you know a new TV has a rectangular shape that needs to be 30% larger than the old square TV to keep the same picture impact in your home theatre. Surrounded By Sound can replace your old TV with a new high definition, ultra thin flatscreen that covers more than the interior of the niche. This leaves room below the TV for a cabinet or sound equipment. This results in clean lines with an amazing picture. Smart TVs use high definition HDMI cables and have a wireless connection for internet movies. We will run new cables as needed and program a home theater remote control to combine all your remotes for easy operation. 


Take advantage of our shopping/delivery service to get the best price and turnkey upgrade to your home theatre. Even if your surround receiver does not have HDMI switching but has a fiber optic digital audio input, we can do the switching in the new TVs. What you see is what you hear! 


We deliver eye catching results on your budget. Call us for a free estimate.At Surrounded By Sound Inc. we provide a wide range of residential services. A home theater can start with a flat screen TV and a small stereo. This could be improved by moving the TV to over the fireplace and putting all the electronics into a hall closet. We have remotes that can operate through closed cabinets. 


The sky is the limit when you look at the size of a TV picture and the surround sound horsepower you might want to sound like an actual movie theater in your home. Theater chairs with drink holders. Theater drapery. TV projectors with ten foot pictures or larger. Sound so real that you jump out of your seat! Don't forget the popcorn maker. 


With today's extremely thin and light flat screens you can mount them almost anywhere. From the ceiling mount to the wall mount with tilt or not. Even in a corner or a niche a cantilever mount can do the job. Some people even want multiple TV's of different sizes so they can keep an eye on different sporting events, security cameras, or internet. 


Speakers also come in a wide variety of types and prices. You may want recessed mounted ceiling or wall speakers. Cabinet speakers can sometimes be hidden behind acoustically transparent curtains or just flank the TV. For that explosive bottom end the self powered subwoofer can make a big difference.  Homes have other electronic needs such as the distribution of a wired computer network for security of your home office or a recorded camera system that is accessible over the internet throughout the world on your smartphone. 


If you have a dream, we can deliver it.

Fiber Optic Cabling for Premises Distribution

If your company is looking to replace copper wire with fiber optic cable you need much more than a tech with some super glue and electrical tape. The installation of fiber cable has critical tensile load restrictions. Pulling fiber cable beyond it's rating or bend radius will damage the cable and require costly replacement or loss of signal quality.

Every installation requires the correct type of cable for the end use and the location it is to be used in. Single-mode or multi-mode you need to consider the external protection of the cable. You may need a metallic sheath, dielectric jacket or no external protection at all. The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) will determine the fire resistance requirements of your location. You may need plenum, riser or general purpose cable.

Surrounded by Sound

For this investment your company will gain the advantage of gigabit + speed, greater bandwidth, longer runs without “refreshing”, resistance to electromagnetic noise and lower cost of maintenance. Some experts say fiber has greater security against being tapped into by competitors. If your company wants a competitive advantage in the future for information technology, voice over the internet or even 3D High Definition broadcast television production you need to contact us for an on site survey.
