MULTI ROOM MUSIC AND RADIO AROUND THE HOME

Very popular and easy to use, a multi-room music and radio solution in your home will let you listen where ever you have speakers, inside and out. If thoughtfully installed you won’t see any cables.

MULTI ROOM TV, HD, 4K, HDR AND ON-DEMAND

This can all be a bit confusing as the technology evolves. We can demystify and advise what is right for you.

But you will need our help if you wish to unlock alternative ways of distributing Sky across all of your TV’s.

WHICH SPEAKERS ARE BEST FOR YOU?

There is a multitude of wired and wireless speaker systems, some more suited for the tasks than others. They are generally convenient and relatively easy to set up for a multi-room or a surround sound system to accompany your TV. But your individual needs and the constraints of your home may mean that there are other options worth considering. That’s why we offer our no obligation free home visit so that we can best assess your requirements. For further details call 01494 853450 or contact us using our contact form here.

Wifi offers a number of key opportunities. If done properly you can have music anywhere in the home with little fuss and without the need for chasing walls to conceal cables. At the heart of any Wifi solution is your broadband router which unfortunately is not always up to the task. We would recommend replacing the router before proceeding with your install. You could install your next Home Entertainment system yourself but you will get better reliability and performance if you trust the setup to the professionals. Learn more here

MUSIC AND MOVIE SERVERS

Our installation experts will not only advise on which solution is right for you but help you choose the best system for accessing your music and movies. The quality is improving all the time to meet customers’ demands for Hi-Resolution music and Ultra High Definition movies.

We are happy to help you choose which system is best for you.

WIRELESS Vs WIRES

Wireless is great but for the ultimate in quality and reliability, you can’t beat a cabled solution. So what if it becomes necessary to chase a few walls to hide them if it means you experience faultless internet connectivity 365 days of the year. However, a wired system presents its own unique set of challenges, it can be costly to install but if you want quality and reliability, then going wired is the only sensible option. With our highly qualified team of trusted professionals you can be assured when we finished we will have created the best solution for you.

The improvements in television technology in recent years means you can get large screen TVs with great new features and awesome picture quality at very affordable prices.

You can now purchase incredibly thin, large, attractive screens to secure on our walls that include contrast rich, wide viewing angle OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology making for compelling viewing. Also, there’s high dynamic range (HDR) technology producing unprecedented colour saturations that are more dynamic, vibrant and natural than anything seen before.

The huge surge in 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) resolutions, which offer four times the resolution of older HD TVs, as well as vast improvements in smart television interfaces means that the TV you bought a few years ago has already been replaced by something bigger, brighter, more affordable offering better value than ever before.

WHICH IS THE RIGHT SIZE TV?

With today’s super crisp high-resolution picture, there’s no need to sit far away from a screen. The only constraint to screen size is how much space you have on your wall. Additionally, thanks to thinner frames you can get a bigger screen into less space. A slightly ageing 42inch television takes up about the same amount of wall space as a thinner, more attractive, new 50inch TV. And if you like your movies in your face you only need a viewing distance of a couple of metres to get the full HD impact of a 50inch screen.

WHICH BRAND IS BEST?

With advances in technology, TVs are of such a high standard that it is difficult to find one which would disappoint. However, it’s always a good idea to visit your local Television retail outlet to see for yourself the picture quality and styles. You may prefer the curved Ultra High Definition Samsung range, or the incredible colour of the LG OLEDs, while Sony and Panasonic each have their own equally impressive characteristics.

There is no guarantee you’ll get a seat and you can’t pause the film if you need to take an impromptu bathroom break. So bring the magic of cinema, the flicker and the immersive sound, into the comfort of your own home. Many of us dream of a dedicated home cinema and to get started you won’t need much more than space. A loft, basement, spare room or garage, they can all be adapted. With fantastic, revealing HD ATMOS cinema surround sound, High Definition Projector and screen, nicely styled seating and subtle lighting, you won’t find a reason to ever go to your local cinema ever again.

You can style your Cinema space however you want with framed movie posters, popcorn maker and bar fridge to complete the experience! With your imagination and our help, you can create the integrated Home Cinema of your dreams. Find out more here

WE HAVE THE SMARTS…

There is no need to have the brains of your Home Cinema system taking up valuable space in the same room as your Projector and Screen. Home Cinema control solutions are sophisticated and feature rich so can be tucked away out of sight in a well-ventilated cupboard, basement, plant room, rack under the stairs or if you prefer an attractive built for purpose piece of furniture. This means everything can be controlled from your Smartphone or tablet.

SPEAKER OPTIONS

Whether you decide to go for a family-friendly TV on the living room wall or a sophisticated dedicated cinema room, there are a wealth of speaker combinations that we can install. One of our most popular options is invisible speakers plastered into the walls or ceiling which are incredibly effective. Discover all the possibilities here

DOLBY ATMOS AND DTS:X: THE NEW IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES

The new Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound formats add overhead sound effects to your home theatre. Both deliver surround sound with far greater realism than previous formats but the setup is complex employing an array of up to 11 speakers. This is one very good reason why it’s always worth getting the job done professionally.

There is no need to get tied up in the technology for a Smart Home installation system. It’s all about delivering a solution that is easy-to-use for you and your family that will give you years of convenience and enjoyment. We have worked on plenty of Smart Home Control projects with budgets from a few thousand pounds to lots of thousands of pounds. So we are confident we can help you and nothing will surprise us!
