Home Theater & Whole Home

System Design Libraries

Now Available

Just launched at CEDIA, two new SDLs, Home Theater and Whole Home are now available for download at amx.com/markets under the Home Theater and Whole Home market sections.

These pre-packaged solutions are designed to simplify every step of the sales, system design and integration process for AMX dealers.


Home Theater

Whether it’s a new home or retrofit, the Home Theater SDL supports dealers in designing the most extravagant to the most basic home theaters – all customizable to the homeowner’s individual needs.

 

Whole Home
For homeowners wishing to fill their residences with music, movies, lighting, climate and other home controls, the Whole Home SDL is the first stop for dealers to prepare their proposals.

How Can SDLs Assist On Your Next Project?
SDLs were created to simplify the way control systems are sold to key vertical markets. Each library includes all the materials you need to find the right solution for your customer, customize the proposal, and even generate the job estimate - all in half the time it takes to do it from scratch.

Each SDL Includes:

  • Sales Sheets
    Single sheet sets that explain how control systems can benefit the homeowner. We have created three system design packages to serve the customer’s needs. They can choose from basic (Level 1), advanced (Level 2) or premium (Level 3) based on their requirements. The Sales sheets also include a handy Comparison Chart to compare each level.
  • VisualArchitect(VA) Sales Assistant
    An online tool that walks you through the process of gathering your customers’ requirements and will then automatically generate an MS Excel file, formatted as a proposal.
  • SDL Dealer Manual - Your “cheat sheet” - a step-by-step guide that includes everything you need to know to progress through every step of the process.

Available Now
The new SDLs are available now for download.
