Whole House AV System in Poole
Some regular clients who we have worked for in the past asked us to be involved in a renovation project in Bournemouth, Dorset. The property a 4 bed detached residence had been untouched for 40 years, our task was to work together with the clients and builders to design and install a distributed Aerial and Satellite system, together with a comprehensive Sonos music system with in ceiling speakers to each of the bedrooms, reception rooms and master ensuite.
All of the AV equipment was to be housed in a central cupboard, from here the Sky box and aerial system would be distributed in high definition to all rooms, the Sonos music system amplifiers would be located and distributed to all rooms, along with the home cinema system to power the lounge. In each room a wall mounted TV would be installed, with remote eyes allowing full control of the remote located equipment
The project involved involved chasing walls and running through ceiling voids to install new coax cabling, installing 15m HDMI cables to allow each room to receive not just standard definition Sky, but full high definition Sky from one box, Cat 5 cables so each TV could be connected to the Internet to access interactive facilities, and speaker cables to power the in ceiling speakers.
In the lounge again nothing was to be on show, here consideration had to be given to an electric fire mounted underneath the 46" Sony TV. With the TV being a Sony smart TV, BBC I player, youtube, and other internet content could be viewed on screen and controlled by an iphone mobile.
We had a total of nearly 40 cables running back to the main equipment rack, all of which we labelled and tidied to allow the clients the option of future connectivity of other products should they wish. Located in the equipment rack we had 1 x Sky HD BOX, 6 way Global DC passing distribution amplifier, 1 x Masthead amplifier for improved aerial reception, 1 x 8 way HDMI expander, Panasonic Blu Ray home cinema system, Panasonic DVD recorder with built in Hardrive for freeview recording, 2 x Sonos Zone Amplifiers powering 5 In Ceiling speakers in 4 zones, 1 x Sonos Bridge, BT Infinity Router and broadband connection.
