Chilworth, Southampton, Hampshire

Commissioned to design and install a multi-room AV system with music server, home cinema system, and replace the array of existing remote controls with a mich simpler means of control. We chose the Control4 home automation system for its affordability, ability to work with all the client's existing and future equipment, and ease of use. The system is completely menu-driven via the onscreen TV display in HD quality, or from remote handsets.

With a Control4 handheld remote in each room, the client is able to watch freeview, DVD and Blu-Ray with one touch, with their entire music collection including favourite playlists, available instantly from any room.

The home cinema room takes center stage, with 2008's TV of the Year Pioneer 50" LX5090 plasma wall-mounted on a moving bracket to allow for viewing adjustments. A high-end NAD cinema receiver partnered with the multi-award winning Dali IKON 6 surround speaker package delivered outstanding sound quality.
