Dorset

Our brief was to install a full AV and data network in a large listed country house. As usual the priority was to supply a high performance discreetly installed system, with simple to use controls.

During the project we worked closely with the interior designer to integrate our hardware into custom joinery and furniture. In the media room a 65” plasma was built in to a custom cabinet; the AV hardware, speakers and a sub-woofer were also integrated into the joinery to create a stunning cinema solution.

In total, the house has twelve audio zones with the capability in each room to independently access a centralised music server, web radio and online services. Zones can be linked for entertaining with independent volume control in each area. The whole system is controlled using wireless handheld controllers to provide simple but fully functioned control in each area.

Throughout the house, discrete in-ceiling and in-wall speakers have been used with all cables running back to a centralised location.

The data network has been designed to give two independent wireless access zones for business and family use whilst the whole house has been wired to provide fast ethernet and switched telephony in all rooms in the house as well as outbuildings and staff accommodation.

The finished solution is a beautiful house with state of the art technology sympathetically installed.
