KENT OBERLIN had a great gig working in the post-production department at the sprawling Sony Pictures Studios complex in Culver City, CA, former home of the legendary MetroGoldwyn-Mayer (MGM) lot where The Wizard of Oz and many beloved films from Hollywood's golden era were made and where contemporary films such as Spider-Man: No Way Home are made today. Working out of an office next door to the world-class Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage, he assembled and maintained the workstations sound editors used to build soundtracks for films in production.
Oberlin loved his job, especially the opportunity to meet and work with sound engineers and audio professionals at companies like JBL and Dolby, which piqued his interest in home theater or, as he put it, "the possibilities of bringing the cinematic experience to the home." He would frequent the Sony Electronics store on studio property to check out the latest and greatest consumer A/V technology and take full advantage of his employee discount.
Growing tired of his grueling schedule and the stress that came with it, Oberlin left Sony and began offering boutique post-production sound editing services in the San Diego area, eventually transforming his garage into an office/editing studio with the help of designer/acoustician Bill Dohn. And then the home theater bug returned. "My continued interest in films, coupled with many of my customers recognizing my technical prowess, led me to ultimately switch gears and leave the TV and film post-production world for the A/V world," Oberlin recalls.

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagÚre beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
