Home Audio Visual System with Lighting Control

Home audio visual system with lighting control using many of our AV solutions.

This detached property was being extended at the rear to give a large kitchen and living area for all the family to enjoy. The client wanted a home audio visual system with lighting control consisting of a large plasma screen, 5.1 surround sound, iPod dock, lighting control and external speakers on the patio. We also added a security package to the project allowing the CCTV camera images to be viewed on any TV in the house.

As part of the requirements, the clients wanted to enable all the audio visual equipment to be hidden when required so a custom cabinet was designed and installed to house the equipment and TV which is a feature of the room.

5.1 surround AV system

The customer wanted to have a system whereby they could watch high definition films as well as listen to music when relaxing or having parties. Using the award winning Pioneer Kuro plasma TV for the visual display, we incorporated the latest AV receiver from Denon with a matching iPod dock, a Sony Blu Ray player and in-wall and in-ceiling speakers from SpeakerCraft.

The in-wall speakers were incorporated into the custom build cabinetry along with an Audio Pro subwoofer and all the AV equipment such as Sky HD, Denon AV receiver and the Sony Blu Ray player. To control the equipment, we opted to use a Philips 9300 Pronto with its wireless interface which allowed the equipment to be stored out-of-sight and controlled using one simple remote.

Lighting control

Although the area of lighting control was relatively small, we opted to specify the Rako wireless lighting control system which also extended into the kitchen. As well as using the wall mounted controls (which replace a traditional light switch) we programmed the functionality into Philips Pronto 9300 wireless controller to adjust the lighting scenes when required.
