As premier Savant dealers in the Los Angeles area, we’re fortunate to work on some of the most luxurious estates in the nation. Some of these residences are vacation homes where our clients relax throughout the year and soak in the California sun. Other homes are geared toward the omnipresent entertainment industry and require all the latest audio-video technology for entertainment and viewing the latest movie releases in a private home theater.
The one thing these homes have in common is the need for technology that doesn’t interfere with the aesthetics–a space that offers pristine beauty despite 4K HDR TVs and high-performance speakers in nearly every room. The good news is that you can enjoy the latest technology and entertainment while keeping your home’s design intact. Let’s look at hidden technology and how homeowners are enjoying the best of both worlds.

The latest 4K and 8K HDR TVs offer an immersive experience with brilliant colors, clarity, and depth. Not many people, however, are enthralled with seeing a large flat screen display on their living room wall or smaller panels in their kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
Fortunately, hidden technology provides the ability to hide or camouflage these displays in numerous ways. Now, TVs can look like mirrors, famous works of art, or your photography, yet transform it into a flat-screen TV with just one touch. Using the latest lift mechanisms, they hide in ceilings, floors, behind paintings, and in furniture. In addition, moving panels can reveal hidden TVs as well as custom-built cabinets.
Distributed or whole-home audio systems are a common request among smart homeowners. These systems provide high-fidelity audio throughout a home and outdoor spaces. They’re perfect for any room, including home theaters, media rooms, and patios, immersing the listener in pure sound reproduction.
While some audiophiles appreciate the highly-visible, sleek design of tower speakers, others prefer architectural speakers that blend into a home’s design. Many of the top brands in high-performance audio heeded the call and developed speaker lines designed to disappear.
These speakers may be nearly invisible in-wall and in-ceiling speakers that blend into the surrounding material with grills painted to match. Some disappear entirely, covered with plaster or wallpaper. In-wall and in-ceiling subwoofers provide the bass that drives the music and soundtracks and offers explosive special effects.
In Southern California, you’ll find many homes with outdoor entertainment centers. These outdoor TVs can hide away in walls, cabinets, or even in the ground. A popular brand emerging throughout Los Angeles County is the C SEED entertainment system. This technology lies in wait underground until emerging with one touch of a button. The massive TV screens and loudspeakers offer stunning true-to-life images and sound that envelopes the listener.
