At the 2024 CEDIA Expo, Innovative Sight & Sound proudly received top honors at the CEPro Home of the Year Awards. These awards reflect our dedication to blending cutting-edge technology, stunning design, and exceptional customer collaboration to create spaces that enhance how people live and entertain.
We were thrilled to win two gold awards:
- Best Media Room/Den/Multipurpose Room – Birmingham Location
- Best Home Theater Over $100K – Tampa Location
Here’s a closer look at the award-winning projects:
Birmingham: A Sports Media Den Like No Other
Under the leadership of AJ Keith, our Birmingham team transformed an underutilized basement into a vibrant multifunctional entertainment hub. This dynamic space now includes an interactive game area, a sleek cocktail bar, and a state-of-the-art home theater.
Project Highlights
- Interactive Game Area: Features arcade games, a pool table, and a foosball table, with dual 85-inch Samsung TVs ensuring no one misses the action.
- Cocktail Bar: Custom-built with a sophisticated touch, it’s accented by a 55-inch Samsung Frame TV, which can display sports highlights or blend seamlessly into the décor.
- Home Theater: A dedicated space with a 120-inch Screen Innovations screen, powered by a Sony 4K Laser projector and 7.4.4 JBL Synthesis in-wall speakers, creates an immersive viewing experience.
Challenges and Solutions
Adapting the existing basement layout and navigating varying ceiling heights required close collaboration between our sales and installation teams, the builder, and the homeowner. This partnership ensured the project stayed on track and exceeded expectations.
AJ Keith Reflects
“These two rooms were particularly exciting projects for us,” AJ shared. “The home theater offers the ultimate cinematic experience, while the sports media den provides a dynamic space to watch multiple games simultaneously with friends. Each space serves a unique purpose, but they both maintain a clean, modern aesthetic that ties them together. Seeing this project win this award is a fantastic recognition of our team’s dedication and attention to detail.”

Managed by Tampa’s location manager, Anthony Dimicco, brought a client’s Star Wars dream to life with an awe-inspiring home theater. This custom-built space is as visually striking as it is technically advanced, delivering a cinematic experience that immerses users in the Star Wars universe.
Project Highlights

- Versatile Entertainment: Systems like the Kaleidescape Terra Movie Server, Xbox Series X, and Apple TV 4K ensure limitless content options.
Challenges and Solutions
Building a highly customized room that balances thematic design with functionality required precision and creativity. From integrating lighting effects to fabricating custom décor, every detail was thoughtfully executed to achieve the ultimate cinematic experience.
Anthony Dimicco Reflects
“Some of the most exciting and rewarding projects we work on are when the client’s passion and excitement for home technology matches our team’s,” said Anthony. “This project showcases the outcome of that collaborative effort in every detail.
