Take a Look Inside Our Recent Home Theater Project!

At First Priority Audio, we believe that a home theater is more than just a room with a screen and speakers—it's an experience.

Recently, we completed a home theater project near Hypoluxo, FL, that exemplifies this philosophy. We used some of the finest AV on the market to create a truly immersive, cinematic experience.

Our client’s request was clear: a high-performance home theater with impeccable sound, sleek aesthetics, and seamless control. We partnered with Bang & Olufsen to create a 5.0.2 Dolby Atmos surround sound system that transports viewers right into the middle of the action.

Check out the B&O speakers and other technologies we used to create an unforgettable home theater project!

Surround Sound by Bang & Olufsen

The star of this home theater is the Bang & Olufsen 5.0.2 surround sound system, which delivers noticeable depth, power, and detail.

Why Bang & Olufsen? They’re celebrating nearly 100 years of audio innovation and have received countless design and audio awards, including Rolling Stone’s Best Designed Speaker for the Beolab 8 in 2024.

Here's how we configured the system:

The Beovision Theatre includes a stunning 4K TV paired with a Dolby Atmos soundbar. Beovision soundbars can be tailored to fit any TV dimension with customizable wooden and metal finishes.
Beolab 50s, acting as the left and right channels, are true powerhouses. With six 10-inch woofers built into the pair, they deliver rich, deep bass, eliminating the need for separate subwoofers.
For rear surround sound, we installed Beolab 8s, providing a balanced and immersive soundstage that draws you into every scene.
The 10-inch B&O Celestial in-ceiling speakers, powered by a BeoAmp 2 amplifier, bring the full Dolby Atmos experience to life, adding the dimension of overhead audio.

To make the experience more versatile, the client can also enjoy audio through the exclusive Bang & Olufsen H95 Ferrari Edition headphones. This allows them to enjoy surround sound quality privately without disturbing others in the household.

Custom Design Meets Cutting-Edge Technology

The aesthetics of this project were just as important as the technology itself. We partnered with Bang & Olufsen’s design team to order custom wood color swatches, letting us build a bespoke media credenza that complements the rest of the room's decor.

But it’s not all about looks—this theater is fully equipped for a convenient user experience. We integrated a Kaleidescape movie server and player, allowing the client to enjoy the highest-quality video and audio content available, whether it's new 4K films or HD classics. With movies stored digitally on the server, the household can access their library instantly, playing content in any room.

Seamless Control with Control4

No home theater project would be complete without easy control. For this project, we connected all of the theater’s components—including the B&O speakers, TV, and Kaleidescape system—into the client’s Control4 smart home system. Now, everything from volume adjustments to movie selection is accessible with a simple tap on the Bang & Olufsen Halo touchscreen remote.

The Result: Immersive Entertainment & Effortless Control

We combined the finest in audio, video, and smart home integration to create a custom home theater unlike any other. With Bang & Olufsen's premium audio, a Kaleidescape server, and Control4 integration, our client now enjoys a home entertainment experience that is immersive, intuitive, and stunningly beautiful.
