Gorgeous entrance of a recent Sound & Vision design build home theater project in Barrington Hills.
I recently watched, downloaded to the Kaleidescape Strato, Ant-Man and The Wasp in glorious 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos. It was amazing! I began thinking about the incredible level of performance we can provide today, for far less money than 10, or even 5, years ago. We can now truly deliver what the director intended in the comfort of your own home. This put a huge smile on my face. This was exactly the reason I started Sound & Vision over 25 years ago! Providing a magical experience is what we’re all about.
Pristine 4K HDR Video from classics to modern blockbusters.
Why is now the time to plan your home theater? For the first time I can recall, there is a perfect alignment of both amazing sound with Dolby Atmos, breathtaking picture technology with 4K HDR, and plenty of available 4K HDR content. The advancements in both audio and video make it the perfect time to explore your theater options. We’d love to help you get started on planning your dream theater or providing an upgrade path for those with an existing system. We provide turn-key theaters from design, construction and the finest seating you’ve ever seen.
Immersive sound from Dolby Atmos that has to be heard to be believed.
What is 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos?
4K televisions have been around for years but 4K projectors were reserved for the top end of the price range and 4K content was limited. Well both have now changed dramatically. We now have true 4K HDR (High Dynamic Range – contrast between the brightest whites and darkest blacks) projectors that start at $4,995 and 4K HDR content is everywhere with Kaleidescape and the Apple TV emerging as the content leaders. Kaleidescape has over 600 movies in 4K HDR for ultimate performance. All of your favorite original shows from Netflix and Amazon are in 4K, many with Dolby Atmos sound. iTunes also has tons of content.
Dolby Atmos employs overhead speakers as well as surrounds to immerse you in the sound. This has had a huge impact on the quality of sound and the in-home movie experience. With the addition of a couple speakers, you are enveloped in the sound like never before. This is the first major upgrade to sound we’ve had in more than a decade and it’s a massive improvement.
I have dealt with Sound and Vision for over 20 years, I am never disappointed in the quality of service that Eric, Curt, Jeff, Hector and others provide me. If I have an emergency they are always just a phone call away
Home Automation
We have worked with Sound and Vision for the past 20 years on multiple projects (big and small) and numerous evolutions of technology. They are the only home automation provider we use given the quality of the service and the responsiveness of the team.
Home Theater
They are amazing. We worked with them on a massive project remotely. We gutted and combined two units in a downtown high rise. We lived out of state while the project was designed, executed and then we moved in! Two years on, we still call them for service, changes and updates. AND it’s the same team that did our install! If you want a live recommendation, let Josie know you can call us. Highly recommend!
Home Automation
These guys are simply amazing! Terrific on all fronts – knowledge/experience with technology, creative, and most importantly, enormously responsive! They implemented a fantastic home entertainment, network, security and lighting solution that is state-of-the-art and cost efficiently designed for what we need. Eric (the founder) and his team (Curt, Jeff, and Hector) are invariably available (they respond within minutes, even on the weekend) to resolve issues. Their service is simply “five star!”

Sound and Vision has been servicing our Crestron system at our home since 2008. ALL their service techs that have worked in my home since the beginning are still with the company. They are professional, always on time, and extremely knowledgeable on all technical issues.
Also, any need for emergency calls they are always quick to respond. It is a pleasure working with Eric, Josie, and the entire staff!

After a detailed search, my husband and I chose Sound and Vision to install and manage our audio visual, lighting and smart drapes into our newly built home. They have far exceeded our expectations! And three years in, they continue to exceed our expectations! We cannot say enough amazing things about Josie, Eric, Jeff and their entire staff!

We have used Sound & Vision for many years and have found them to be excellent. We have used them for our Crestron system, AV, and lighting. The systems they installed are great and make our home more enjoyable to live in and easier to manage!
