CALIBRATION

Calibration is the final step in The Sound Choice's full service offering, and is provided as part of the system purchase.  This often over-looked service ensures that our customers are getting the most out of their investment - and the entertainment experience. 

The audio system and video system will each benefit significantly through specific fine tuning using state-of-the-art calibration equipment endorsed by the Home Acoustics Alliance (HAA) and the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF).  Contact Us to schedule either a video or audio calibration, or book both for additional savings!  The following outlines the benefits and outcomes of each calibration procedure.

The Audio Calibration service ($350 for non-system purchase) is the only way to capture the full potential of your home theatre audio system.  A properly calibrated audio system will provide:

- intelligible dialogue
- lifelike clarity
- subtle details at low volume
- full, smooth sound which envelopes you
- no rattles from pipes or pictures on the wall

 

The Video Calibration service ($400 for non-system purchase) is one of the most effective and least expensive improvements you can make to your video display.  A properly calibrated home theatre display:

- displays a sharper focused, full resolution image.
- shows full detail in both the darkest and brightest parts of all scenes.
- is properly matched to the video system and the viewing environment.
- maintains the same accurate color balance in both picture lowlights and
     highlights.
- produces a full range of accurate colors, including flesh tones, grass, sky,
     and sports jerseys.
- produces a "film look" comparable to 35mm pictures or cinema theatres. 
- minimizes picture artifacts (distortions).
- is easier on your eyes.
- lasts up to twice as long as a display with factory default settings.
