Cortex Entertainment Founding Inspiration 

Life is about experiences, both good and bad, and about choices. One of the most important choices we make each day is how we are going to spend our time, what experiences do we want to have today.

For me, listening to music is an experience I choose as often as possible.

Music and other media artforms are easily accessed these days but not always through systems that allow you to fully appreciate what an artist has accomplished. iPads, phones and ear buds cannot convey all the detail produced by the artist. 

To best appreciate these artists and their creations, you need a system of equal ability. The men and women who craft these components are dedicated to building products worthy of the artist and art.

My small part in this collaboration is assembling these products into systems for your enjoyment.  

Hopefully, I can contribute to a few great experiences in your life very soon.

" The combination of the professional Dolby CP850 ATMOS processor and expert sound calibration by Cortex has resulted in a level of cinema audio that is the finest I have heard. The imaging is precise, the dialogue is clear and articulate, there are wide dynamics and most of all it creates an immersive sound field that envelopes you and brings you into the movie scene. Simply breathtaking! Bravo Cortex!"

Music/Theater Client

We originally wanted a surround system but Cortex demonstrated a 2 channel system that blew us away. That's when we decided to invest in a higher quality stereo system than the surround systems we were previously looking at. We could not be happier with the sound quality or how it fit into our décor.
