ISOLATING your AV HiFi system from the grid pays benefits, in high performance, in a lower audio noise floor, and deeper color shading for video. Our Bronco Power Boost System doesn’t just backup your essential circuits, it improves your critical circuits in real-time, your AV system! This level and quality of battery power has only recently become available. We can help you quiet the noise in just a few hours without changing anything inside your walls.
​
Our resilience-oriented battery backup systems improve the quality of the AC power distribution system in a home.
Here are several ways they contribute:
1. **Power Quality Improvement**: Battery backup systems often include power conditioning features that filter out voltage spikes, surges, and noise, leading to cleaner and more stable power for your home.
2. **Voltage Regulation**: These systems can regulate the voltage levels, ensuring a consistent supply of power even when the grid experiences fluctuations. This helps in protecting sensitive electronics from damage.
3. **Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)**: During power outages, a battery backup system can provide a seamless transition to battery power, preventing interruptions and potential damage to equipment.
4. **Energy Storage**: By storing energy during off-peak times or when renewable energy sources (like solar panels) are generating excess power, these systems can supply power during peak demand times, reducing the load on the grid and enhancing overall efficiency.
5. **Surge Protection**: Many battery backup systems include surge protection features that guard against sudden spikes in power that could damage appliances and electronics.
Overall, these systems not only provide backup power during outages but also enhance the overall reliability and quality of the home's power supply.
The first thing that I ask about is the entire electrical chain feeding your audio system.
How your audio system obtains AC power is essential, but how your house is grounded to the Earth is crucial indeed. What flows in must flow to the ground!
Discussing soil might seem ordinary, but let's examine the essentials of establishing a low-impedance path to Earth for your home's electrical service. Securing a low-impedance path to Earth can significantly enhance the performance of your audio-video system, as long as the AC and its grounding path remain unaltered from the main service entrance to the audio system, and finally, to the Earth. This delicate equilibrium has a tangible impact.
For a home electrical system, the connection to Earth is typically made through a grounding electrode known as a ground rod. This rod transforms into a grounding electrode upon installation into the Earth; otherwise, it remains merely a metal rod.
Homes built before 2017 may not meet the updated NEC code, which mandates that all main electrical panels be grounded with two ground rods spaced six feet apart—one directly beneath the panel and the other six feet away. The code now requires a grounding electrode to earth with an impedance of 25 ohms or less for residential electrical installations. For homes with high-performance audio/video systems, it is highly desirable to achieve an impedance of 5 ohms or lower, and for the highest performance AV systems, an ideal impedance would be 0 ohms.
If the impedance of the Earth-to-grounding electrode exceeds 25 ohms, it may indicate that the ground rod has deteriorated or is not sufficiently long for the present soil conditions near your home. The grounding electrode system was likely installed properly, otherwise, it would not have cleared the electrical inspection at the time your home was constructed. However, since soil conditions can alter over time, reassessing the system is a prudent initial step to decide if any actions need to be taken.
Having our Master Electrician conduct a thorough evaluation of your home's high-voltage electrical system, particularly the crucial earth-grounding component, is always beneficial. It ensures that we understand the system's condition.
The noise floor goes down for both the audio and video parts of the system.

HiFi Stereo & Home Theater system development and tuning.
We utilize the skills that I learned hands-on during the days at the SUMIKO M.A.S.T.E.R.S. training, but from then on, I opened it up from there.
We assemble, install, and tune remarkable home music and video systems. Each one is unique, quite good but not over the top. We can make even modest systems perform at the highest level.
Systems built around client-owned and new equipment.
Regarding Sumiko M.A.S.T.E.R.S., here's a little basic information, it’s more about energy flow and room balance than sterile scientific analysis. It’s more about sound quality than specifications and measurements.
Let’s start with an overview of the SUMIKO M.A.S.T.E.R.S. process (Multiple Array Stereophonic Testing Evaluation and Resolution of Sound), is a meticulous method designed to extract the best possible performance from high-end audio systems. This process involves several key steps aimed at fine-tuning both the system and the listening environment.
The process starts with a comprehensive analysis of the listening room.
Understanding the room’s dimensions, materials, and acoustic properties is crucial, as these factors significantly influence how sound waves behave. We carefully assess the room to identify potential issues such as reflections, standing waves, and bass nodes. By understanding these elements, we can make informed decisions on how to mitigate any negative effects the room might have on sound quality. After we achieve optimal placement, we can address acoustics both physically and with digital acoustic modeling techniques using the subwoofer and the processor’s software.
This is vital , but we consider precise speaker placement to be the most critical aspect of the process.
We utilize an ultra-low profile mover’s dolly system to make fine adjustments to placement.
The position away from the walls, the toe-in (azimuth), and the tilt (altitude) of the speaker’s angles of relative dispersion are all adjusted meticulously to achieve optimal imaging, soundstage, and tonal balance. Small changes in speaker placement can have significant impacts on the overall sound, this step often involves iterative testing and adjustments to ensure the best possible results.
Integrating the subwoofers with the main speakers is another vital component of the process. When a sub hooks up with the room, it’s visceral, you can feel it!
All of this results in a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience.
Proper setup can significantly extend the lifespan and enjoyment of a high-end audio system. By optimizing the system’s performance, we help listeners get the most out of their investment.
The result is an unparalleled audio experience that brings music to life in a way that is both immersive and true to the artist’s original intent.
According to Sumiko Audio, “The most important component in any audio or theater system is the proper placement and positioning of the speakers into the listening environment. Putting the speakers where they truly belong, so they don't fight each other, so they work in total unison not only with each other but also with the room, is the end all be all for proper music reproduction in the home.”
We also utilize the advanced tuning / bass management capabilities of modern AV Processors and strong bass tuning of the newest technology subwoofers.
