Discover the New Standard in Home Entertainment

Here’s something that might surprise you: the technology in your local cinema isn't necessarily better than what we can put in your home. Having designed theater spaces for some of Chesterfield's most distinguished homes, we can tell you that a properly designed home theater often delivers a superior experience to commercial venues. 

Plus, there’s no need to wait in a concession stand line for popcorn—simply head to the kitchen or the popcorn bar at the back of your custom theater room.

What Is Home Theater Design?

One thing we love about home theater design is that it's equal parts engineering precision and artistic vision. Walking into the space should feel like entering a private cinema in a luxury hotel but with far more sophisticated technology.

As you descend into your basement theater, motion sensors trigger pathway lighting that guides you to your seats. The room itself is a masterpiece of hidden technology. Those elegant wall panels? They're actually acoustically engineered surfaces that ensure perfect sound distribution. That stunning coffered ceiling? It conceals a Dolby Atmos array that creates a three-dimensional sound bubble around you.

Whether it's Sunday football or family movie night, every seat becomes the best seat in the house!

The Details Matter

After three decades of creating St. Louis's finest home theaters and smart home systems, we’ve learned that perfection lies in the details. 

Take screen selection, for instance. While many installers simply mount the largest screen possible, we consider viewing angles, room dimensions, and even your family's viewing habits. Should you opt for a massive direct-view LED wall, or would a specialized projector screen better suit your space? These aren't just technical decisions. They're lifestyle choices that impact how you'll enjoy your investment for years to come!

Beyond the Basics

You can update an existing space or start from the ground up in a remodeled room. Enjoy a sophisticated media room for entertaining or a reference-quality theater for serious movie-watching!

The level of integration possible these days is exciting! Using customized Crestron controls, your theater can recognize who's watching and adjust everything accordingly. Your teenage son may like his action movies loud with maximum bass impact. And your wife may prefer a more balanced sound profile for drama films. What do you prefer? A connected home theater system remembers these preferences and adjusts automatically when each family member starts a movie.

The Elite Difference

In our 35 years in this industry, Elite has never been more excited about the possibilities available to homeowners. But here's the truth: technology is only as good as its implementation. That's where Elite Technology Solutions stands apart. We're not just installing equipment—we're engineering experiences.
