Essential Install | Case Study: Pro Install AV
application ideas and product support when we decided
to upgrade the audio design in certain rooms. For
instance the highly developed Sonance VP Cinema
Series in-wall and ceiling speakers provided the discreet
audio quality we needed in the media room/bar area –
the in-wall sub kits of twin subs with matching amps are
a particularly neat solution.
Exterior audio has
surprised the client
with its quality
“Elsewhere the breadth of the range allowed us to
tailor the sound quality perfectly for every space. We
used the VP66R in-ceiling for most of the rooms because
it produces big, easily direct-able sound and a choice
of round or square micro-bezel grills help to match with
light fittings for a really discreet look. Outside, a Sonance
SonArray system in each of three zones gave us the
‘directable’ full-range sound quality we needed. The
customer has commented on the system’s ability to sound
full and clear without ever sounding ‘loud’.”
Sajid adds: “We chose a Crestron control system for
whole-house control because the luxury standard of this
installation demanded its power and simplicity. A lot of
integration was required and we’re used to designing
with Crestron. From the customer’s point of view, it’s easy
to use and pretty much universal. This was very much a
case of getting what you pay for.
“We chose Lutron lighting and blinds not just because
we’re familiar with the way Lutron installs, but also
because we love its power to subtly change the look of a
space. It’s versatile, easy to use and reliable. Plus we love
the quietness of the blinds.”
