At a private club in the Bahamas, we recently undertook a unique project: retrofitting the general manager’s private residence with cutting-edge smart home technology.
This project wasn’t just about enhancing one home but also for demonstrating the possibilities for future homeowners in the club’s community. As a Parkland, Florida-based company, we frequently provide smart solutions to year-round and vacation homeowners. But this was a truly unique project we won’t be forgetting any time soon!
In our last blog post, we wrote about a recent home theater project we completed with a Bang & Olufsen surround sound system. We highlighted the powerful sound and customizable finishes offered by B&O speakers—but audio is only half of the equation.
On the visual side of the home theater, our client opted for Sony’s X90L TV, a 98-inch wonder in 4K HDR. While most people envision a projector system for their home theater, the Sony X90L’s size rivals any projector screen while delivering richer, fuller colors.
Let’s examine this eight-foot Sony TV and explore how you can complete your own TV setup in Parkland, FL.
The CEDIA Expo (Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association) is the annual must-attend event for home technology professionals and enthusiasts. It brings together the top brands in audio, video, home automation, and networking to showcase their newest and most innovative products.

In our last blog post, we wrote about the benefits of digital lighting control compared to centralized lighting systems. But hang on—what does that mean?
Centralized lighting is the original method for creating multi-room lighting control systems. Lighting groups are created through wiring that controls lights at the circuit and zone level—rather than individual light fixtures. Lights in a centralized system may not have built-in intelligence, and to make any grouping changes, you’d need to rewire the system.
Alternatively, digital lighting control systems don’t require a central panel as a middleman between control systems and light fixtures. Instead, smart LED lights have their own digital address that can be individually controlled and adjusted through your smart home interface. Reconfiguring zones and groups is all done digitally—not physically with wiring.
And digital lighting control isn’t restricted to the indoors. You can digitally control your outdoor lighting design with high-end smart LED fixtures and control systems. Let’s look at how it works and will enhance your outdoor lighting in Parkland, FL.
Interested in a smart lighting control system for your home? Lighting control is typically categorized into one of two methods: centralized or digital.
Digital lighting, a newer technology, allows for the direct control of individual light fixtures without the need for centralized lighting panels. However, centralized systems have long been the standard in residential settings.
Let’s compare digital and centralized lighting to help you find the right lighting design solution in Parkland, FL.
In a recent project, the First Priority Audio team elevated an exquisite seaside home near Parkland, FL, with a state-of-the-art Ketra lighting system. The homeowners wanted an outdoor lighting system that could be intelligently controlled with tunable colors and brightness. However, the fixtures needed to be durable enough to withstand the salty ocean air and comply with the community’s environmental guidelines.
This installation highlights our commitment to combining cutting-edge technology with eco-friendly solutions, particularly in coastal regions where the balance between luxury living and nature preservation is crucial. Take a look!
