Conclusion

The reason anyone buys an audio system is plain enough; we love music and movies. Taking our system to the next level though, can seem like an exercise for the terminally detail oriented. The truth is, that many people are not enjoying their sound systems despite the fact that they have high quality gear. Plainly said, the systems do not sound good and in many cases are even annoying to listen to. It is easy to see that most people depend too much on the quality of their audio equipment to provide high end results without regard for the proper set-up and calibration. The Home Acoustics Alliance has a mission; it is to make every audio buyer aware that proper setup and calibration of audio equipment is essential for good results. This is true despite the perception enabled by many factions in our own AV industry that says the best way to solve a sound problem is to buy more expensive equipment. Our alliance of Dealers, Manufacturers, and Consumers is here to teach the science of good sound and to bring it home to our clients.

Keeping this service affordable is also a goal. For that reason, the ADR is designed to be a first step; allowing a quick review of your system that can be expanded to be an in depth report. If you are interested in learning more about the science of good sound contact one of our member dealers via the Dealer Locator. Our members have a dual mandate: to educate and to calibrate. Stop by and get a mini HAA seminar (at participating dealers) explaining the basic elements of the HAA approach.
