Even CEOs accustomed to meeting in posh corporate boardrooms would surely be impressed with the conference room at Admit One Home Cinema’s showroom.

Adjacent to a meeting table is a home theater—make that a home cinema. This is the full experience: plush chairs with seating for 15, dim floor lighting, and the main attraction…a 144-inch screen with 1080p resolution.

“We’re not just demonstrating the product here, we’re showing the entire experience,” explains Admit One President Lance Anderson.

Admit One is a full-service audio/visual company specializing in home theater systems. Or, more correctly, its specialty is “home theater with a twist”—taking audio/video and design to the next level for an authentic experience, down to details like lighted poster boxes and a popcorn machine.

“It’s like a cinema in your house,” Anderson says. “It’s a balance of aesthetics and performance.”

Explore the rest of the showroom, and you will see some of the latest products available for home theater systems—including a DVD management system called Kaleidescape that can store hundreds of movies on one central server—home audio, automation, remotes, and even home theater furniture.

If you are planning a visit, it’s best to plan ahead with an appointment. “We want to give a lot of exclusive time for the people who do make appointments,” Anderson says—after all, there’s plenty to demonstrate.

Often, appointments include an interview to get a sense of what a homeowner is looking for in a theater system. “Once we have a pretty good idea of what their lifestyle is, and how they’re going to use the system…we can put together an estimate for them,” Anderson says. As you might imagine, the sky is the limit to what can be done with this creative staff.

“We’re all enthusiasts,” he continues. “We’re all passionate about what we do. It’s really important to us that we create a lifelong technology partner with our customers.

“The finished experience is very important to us, and we want to make sure that it’s accomplished every time.”
