Integrated Audio/Video

Samsung Frame TV on tile fireplace with Sonos Beam soundbar below. The tile is two continuous pieces cut to fit. Components go in the cabinet to the right. One button press operation and Alexa control of the music as well as TV functions, with the microphone built into the soundbar (can be disabled if desired) @ Bend, Oregon

Klipsch LCR retrofit - these speakers are specifically made to be front speakers even though they are in the ceiling. The drivers are angled to give the illusion of the sound coming from the TV. This is the only way to maintain proper sound imaging for front in-ceiling speakers. The TV was retrofit as well without any sheetrock repair, since the center speaker hole provided enough access to get new wiring down the wall

This new construction project features a large Ethernet network including multiple buildings connected by fiber optic cabling and hardware. This eliminates any chance of lightning damage on the network and tend to be more reliable in the long run (because of ground differentials with copper CAT5/6 wiring)

Another day, another Samsung Frame TV retrofit @ Bend, Oregon

In-wall KEF THX speakers flanking a 65” Sony full array backlight model. One button press operation via a handheld remote and Alexa integration of each activity (optional, not required for operation). Components are located in a nearby floor standing industry standard equipment rack with built in wire and thermal management

Is it art? Or is it a 65” Samsung Frame TV with custom frame? You decide. Remote located One Connect box, HDBaseT 4K HDMI over CAT6, video switching by Sony ES, control by Logitech Harmony hub based remote which allows smartphone/tablet control and Alexa/Google integration. On top of all this, Sonos works with the in-ceiling speakers and Sony Music Connect to take over audio when it’s not being used for TV. A proven mix of components that complement each other perfectly

This residence had 2 media systems, surveillance system, and a large multi-room music system worth of components on wood shelving. Everything was migrated to an industry standard equipment rack that really cleaned up the install and makes any future modifications or service work infinitely more efficient

Cool slimline fan install (no pun intended). Temperature controlled for twin 12RU in cabinet rack install. Notice the inlet holes in the toe kick of the cabinet @ Bend, Oregon

Very unique property with existing multi-room music and front projection media system. We consolidated equipment into industry standard racks, added a Patio music zone, and cleaned up the whole install. That also includes updating some of the existing in-ceiling speakers with thin bezel designs, endless music from Sonos, and one button operation of the media system. Landscape speakers were added in the existing planters for surround sound. The network was relocated to a central location. The house is still a work in progress but huge improvements have been made and it will be amazing once complete @ Tumalo, Oregon

It’s the little things that matter

65” Samsung “The Frame” with Episode 65” passive soundbar below. The Frame TVs are capable of displaying art when not used as a TV. In most rooms it resembles paper art almost perfectly. It can turn on based on motion and turn off when nobody is around. They install on a no-gap wall mount, included with the TV. It can be a challenging install, as the other picture shows. The 14.5”x20” enclosure was fully retrofit after paint and sheetrock to contain the large Samsung “One Connect” box since this is a centralized TV location without a place for components below @ Tetherow Resort

Work in progress... 2x Media Systems, 4x Multi-Room Music, enterprise grade network and WiFi, cloud based management, configuration and troubleshooting... more to come on this one...
