We’re already enjoying some glimpses of spring here in Lake Keowee, with days of gentle rains and temperatures occasionally rising into the 60s. While it may not seem like open-air entertainment weather as you know it, your outdoor living consultants here at Fusion Audio + Video would love to show you how to enhance your space for year-round fun. 

Once you have your full setup designed and installed, your previous perception of what outdoor living looks like will most likely change: No longer does it entail choosing between summer-only events like swim-up pool parties or bracing the chilly fall air to watch college football outside.

As Fusion Audio + Video has observed and followed industry trends, we’ve noticed some surprising evolutions in everything from home audio to lighting. One element that remains consistent is that some of the most unlikely trends sneak up on us and grow in popularity more than we would have expected. One such trend is the booming vinyl revival.

According to MRC Data's 2020 Year-End Music report, LPs accounted for 27 percent of album sales in the United States. We also learned that vinyl sales grew 1,000 percent more over the last decade when compared to the previous ten-year period. What do we make of this as home audio consultants? We’ll give you the scoop and explain what the turntable trend means for you below.

You have another option that protects your North Carolina home and everything and everyone you love inside it. We’ll show you why a professional installation from Asheville’s most trusted home security company is worth it, as well as three must-have solutions you need below.
