Northern Michigan Smart Home
Whether it’s new construction or a retrofit, the idea of a Northern Michigan smart home has become much more popular of late. With technology from Alexa, to Google Home, to our favorites Control4 and Elan, there are many choices.
Let’s start with what you’re looking for: Is it a fully-automated home or random features? Lighting and shades? House sound system?
While options like Alexa are great for DIYers, integrating many features on a large scale becomes an issue. That’s where we come in. Control4, for instance, has products ranging from integrated video doorbells, to thermostats, to amplifiers. On one touch panel or even handheld remote, you could control the speakers in the living room where the guests are while lowering the shades in the front entrance for privacy.
If you’re considering a Northern Michigan smart home for a new construction project, make sure the contractors you select from Rhiz are knowledgeable on the subject. If you like, reach out to us first for builder recommendations to insure your project runs smoothly with the right builders from the start.
Stop into our showroom in Traverse City’s Warehouse District to see and experience these products firsthand before making a decision. Listen twice, install once!

Michigan’s Best 2-Channel Stereos
We at Waara are grateful to be able to install the latest Bluetooth and wireless speakers for our Northern Michigan clients, but when it comes to classic stereos and authentic sound you can practically FEEL, then you may need to visit our Traverse City showroom to see Michigan’s best 2-channel stereos for yourself.
Chief among these, and a brand we’re proud to represent, is the KEF Reference 1 speaker.
Now you may be asking yourself what “2-channel” means and why you should care. First, we encourage you to come listen and hear the difference, but from a technology standpoint, 2-channel basically means 2 separate speakers arranged in locations designed to amplify your room’s acoustic potential.
Think of the difference between a song on the radio and one in person. Properly designed 2-channel systems elevate your music, whether CD, Tune-In radio, or Spotify, to a whole new height.
Michigan’s best 2-channel stereos are a visit away and can work with most any budget or decor. Want smaller bookshelf speakers? Check out the KEF LS50. You name it, we can install it. Pair your custom speakers with an industry-leader like Marantz or McIntosh and you’ve just created an experience-generator and new feature for your home as well.
So stop on in and let’s brainstorm!

Outdoor Speakers
Home audio, when one thinks of outdoor speakers, has come a long way in the past few years and one shining example of this is the Rock Monitor speaker by Paradigm. Available in dark granite as well as sandstone, Paradigm’s Rock speaker not only can easily camouflage within most backyard landscaping, but the sound quality is amazing.
One great thing about these Rock speakers is the Dual-Directional Soundfield™ , comprised of two tweeters offset at 30 degrees to provide a fuller left-right sound for better dispersal in most outdoor settings.
If you’re already a fan of our other brands like Sonance or Origin, don’t fret. They have great rock speakers as well.
Here at Waara, we pride ourselves on combining form and function, aesthetics and quality, for the best outdoor sound Traverse City has to offer.
We’ll work with you and your landscaper to find the perfect color and location to enrich your entertainment experience.

Last Mile
Maximizing an internet connection
Today’s communication has made us fairly dependent on having a good internet connection — whether used for working remotely, keeping in touch with friends and family, or watching a movie. We don’t realize how important this connection is until we lose it. Unfortunately the fast speeds we are accustomed to are often unavailable in remote or rural areas. We have been able to provide solutions, creating wireless bridges, to get the internet that “last mile.” When others say it’s not possible, we provide a way.

Protected Investment
Power conditioning is often an afterthought for many. When you invest in a solution that includes electronic equipment, it is important to protect that equipment. Not only will it save from loss or insurance claims, but it will help ensure uptime.
