A couple years ago Audio Arc give us a system that provided music to two zones of the yard. It was the best spent money ever. Snowball fights to Star Wars songs were priceless! But then we needed music inside the house. Audio Arc George, introduced "Sonos" to us. It is newer technology and we didn't have to understand how to hook it up. That's where George excelled. He asked us how loud we wanted the music and installed the correct size for that room. There are smaller or bigger units and prices match. We got exactly the volume we wanted. He prevented us from purchasing new speakers, which we were about to buy before meeting with him. He gave a tutorial on how to use it which didn't take long, it's so easy to use. I credit the ease with Audio Arc doing the computer connecting, and his knowledge of room size and volume. The price of labor was so reasonable. Another cool thing is that you can add more units on as you save up for them. We did this last year, but I wanted to wait to write about it until we had experience with it. If you don't feel up to the diy project, call Audio Arc. We would add photos but don't know how to get them on the review site.
Description of Work: Audio Arc put a Sonos music system in my kitchen, living room, master bedroom and basement. He (George) hooked it up so that all I had to do was pick out my songs/playlists from Rhapsody on my computer and enjoy. Simple!

We just finished landscaping our yard and needed music for an upcoming party. I wanted speakers that would be loud enough to be heard throuout the whole back and big side yard. Also, I was ready to go with one of these music-off-the-computer companies. And I wanted speakers that could sit out in the rain and snow. In other words...zero maintenance. George, from Audio Arc, listened to what I wanted and propelled me into shear happiness by making it all happen. He got this box, which makes the music I pick off the computer (like Itunes) go outside to either set of speakers. Couldn't say how it's done, but it's so cool. We have two zones for music and they can be at different volumes at the same time. My yard goes back 90 feet and when I crank up the volume, I can hear the music perfectly. We had money set aside to go with a remote that could control the music from outside and I wouldn't have to go inside to change it or turn it on/off, and with that, a fancier box that would allow more zones to be added as we wanted them. An unexpected medical expense took that extra cash. George helped us figure out a way to still have great sounding music, but we'd have to go inside the house to change music, or volume without the remote. Going in and out of the house is not difficult so it doesn't bother me. Another sign of professionalism is that George made sure the speakers were in the right place so they would sound great and only great. He wouldn't compromise with listening quality. The back porch speakers blend in and the rock speakers do too. When the house windows are open, I hear all my music. He is not into high pressure sales, he is 100% honest and professional. If you love music, you need Audio Arc!
Description of Work: Audio Arc set up the box (forgot what it's called) inside the house, wiring, and installed the speakers. They helped stay within our budget. I simplified it, I'm sure there was more to it.
