Learn About the Right Equipment for the Media Room

Builders, architects and installers agree, the media room is the most requested room they are being asked to add to their client’s plans. Whether it is a remodel, new home or an addition, the home theater has become the family gathering place of this century. But what does this mean to those assigned with the task of building this entertainment Mecca? They need to know more.

The simple fact is this: if you want a home theater system you have to buy A/V gear, and often times, lots of it. Since this investment comes with such a high price tag, selecting the right pieces ensures the life of the system as well as the functionality of the room.

Richard Gray’s Power Company (RGPC) has engineered and designed a line of patented products to protect and enhance any home theater system. The RGPC 600S and RGPC 1200S will enhance your audio and video products by supplying the exact amount of clean AC power they require for optimum performance. Many products claim to have surge protection, but fall short; leaving the equipment that is plugged into them susceptible to daily surges that can eventually cause them to fail prematurely. Plus, these products do nothing to improve the performance of the system, and in fact, hamper dynamics and “muddy” up the sound of the system.

In the design and install phase of a media room project, it is important to consider what gear is going to be installed and how. Is the client looking for a “built-in” look or a showcase? Is it an adult playroom or does it need to be “family-friendly”? Is it for music or movies or both? Whatever the final decisions, safeguarding the client’s expensive choices with a unit from Richard Gray’s Power Company means the designer or installer has guided them in the right direction, and not only ensured a satisfied client, but guaranteed themselves fewer unpaid service calls following the installation.

RGPC products can be found amongst the finest in home theater products chosen for display in the “Designing the Millennium Home” showroom located at the New York Design Center. This design showroom, where high style meets high tech, showcases the finest in home theater products chosen for their aesthetic, as well as their performance appeal. RGPC products can also be found in high end home theater installations such as those found in the pages of Audio/Video Interiors.
