Create a Wellness Room in Your Home with 3D Audio

The healing power of sound has been used in many cultures for thousands of years. In ancient times it was known to elicit altered states and emotional responses designed to improve health and well-being. The first known use of music as a healing tool came from the Australian Aborigines, who used the didgeridoo more than 40,000 years ago. 

In more recent times, scientific studies have shown music therapy to reduce pain and anxiety, help stroke patients improve their motor and cognitive functions, lower blood pressure, improve mood, and much more. When we hear the rain falling as we drift off to sleep, the waves breaking along the shore, or the wind rustling the leaves of nearby trees, we develop a sense of peace. Our favorite song can take us from a place of melancholy to serenity. These reactions are in response to sound.

With the advent of three-dimensional audio, the possibilities in immersive sound therapy grew exponentially. With the right surround sound system design, your home in Hawaii can promote health and wellness. In fact, homes on the Big Island, including those in Kailua-Kona and Kamuela, are using their surround sound systems and home theaters to immerse their families in sound therapy and also enjoy the latest blockbusters. Let’s see how it’s done. 

Increase Sales and Customer Satisfaction with a Commercial Sound System

If you’re in the hospitality industry, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the increasing demand for "an experience." While this has always included excellent service and outstanding food, today's customers are looking for more. They want to take a memory with them that stays long after they leave your establishment, and there’s no better way to create this than with live music.

Offering this type of entertainment makes you stand out from your competitors. Guests come to Honolulu, HI, from around the world, many hoping to embrace the laid-back Hawaiian culture and relax for a bit. Nothing sets the stage better than live local music and entertainment while dining al fresco or sitting by the pool under the stars.  

You can build your brand and boost profits by integrating the right music and entertainment. Guests tend to linger a bit, increasing purchases while enjoying the performance. To get you started, let’s explore the makings of a commercial sound system, including the all-important PA system, and how to choose the right one for your location and business.

Reduce and Monitor Your Energy Usage with Energy Management and Home Automation

We’re fortunate to live on a beautiful island and in a state that has been a leader in conservation and environmental protection for decades. In 2015, Hawaii became the first state in the U.S. to ban plastic bags. In 2018 and 2021, they banned the sale of sunscreens that contain petrochemicals believed to harm coral reefs. They also committed to being carbon neutral by 2045.  

In Kauai, HI, we consider it important to do our part in creating a sustainable environment. In fact, Kauai quit using oil to produce most of its electricity years ago. Today, about 70% of Kauai’s electricity grid is powered by renewables. At Pacific Audio & Communications, we also believe strongly in reducing carbon emissions and helping our clients live a more sustainable life while untethering from the electric grid. 

As an energy management consultant, we empower our clients to take control of their energy consumption, reducing their reliance on the power grid by using load shedding, renewable energy, and smart technology. Let’s see how it’s done.
