Strong Connections Enhance Experience and Safety At Florida Equestrian Estates

Like many modern businesses, equestrian centers also require increased technology presence for more efficient operations management. In addition, technology can enhance the rider experience and protect the safety of visitors and animals.

Our expertise in network cabling services was essential for the project's success.

Get Creative with Control4’s New Smart Lighting Features  

Control4 is already at the top of its game in home automation. But still, the smart home brand is consistently evolving and improving its technology. And just in time for the new year, Control4 systems has announced exciting new smart lighting features that will transform the ways we illuminate our homes. 

If you already have a Control4 system at your home in Parkland or South Florida, or if you’re considering becoming a Control4 household, discover all that’s new with C4 lighting below.

Better Lighting Control, Stronger Wi-Fi Connections, & More Upgrades  

While the Control4 app is ultra-intelligent and voice control is handy, sometimes the most intuitive way to control your home technologies is through a remote—especially in the living room or home theater.  

We’ve historically been huge fans of Control4’s Neeo remote, which innovatively combined hard buttons with a touch screen. But the smart home brand is ever-evolving, and Control4 has just released a new line of Halo remotes. 

What does Halo do differently? Below, we share all its new features that we’re most excited about. And to see Halo remotes in action, visit First Priority Audio’s showroom in the Lighthouse Point, FL area.

B&O’s Beosound Shape 

Bang and Olufsen’s Beosound Shape (pictured above) is an excellent choice for any business owner with design on the mind. It disguises speakers into unique geometric shapes that enhance the room’s ambiance. The Beosound Shape’s connectivity hub is a small built-in box that lets you easily stream music via Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, or Chromecast. 

Customize the Modular Design 

The Beosound Shape’s modular arrangement is completely customizable, from the colors and fabrics to the number of tiles you'd like to include. We can build a system with up to 44 speakers, stretching across the wall in any shape you’d like. Choose from finishes in gray, oak wood, taupe, black, pink, moss green, and more to create a gradient that matches your interior design.

Powerful Sound & Balanced Acoustics 

Your Beosound Shape can be constructed for minimum or maximum sound, depending on what your space requires. Between speaker tiles, it includes dampers that provide acoustic treatments, so the audio system creates less echo and eliminates distortion. Some of the tiles disguise the amplifiers and BeoSound Core, keeping audio equipment out of sight. 

Work with a B&O Dealer 

Bang and Olufsen’s custom audio systems are only available through certified dealers. If you’re in South Florida, you’re in luck. First Priority Audio has access to all of B&O’s speaker catalog and can help you design a completely personalized modular system. So whether you’re mounting the Beosound Shape in a café or luxury apartment lobby, we can configure a unique speaker design with your direction.
