Limelight Automation: Multi-room Audio and TV Distribution

We were called to help the Jones with their AV at this wonderful house. The huge Living room had previously been fitted out with a Crestron cinema system but this was ripped out before they moved in. The brief was simple—Give us music in each room, install our existing hi-fi, wall-mount the Kitchen and Kids TV’s, and remove anything we no longer need.

When the family started renovations they discovered a mess of AV and data cables and it our job to simplify and trim up all these loose ends ready for the new equipment. We then installed a new Sonos system in the headend to feed into the existing Systemline speakers dotted around the home, together with a network hard-drive to stream all the families iTunes music.

We installed the clients Arcam 2-channel hi-fi in the impressive Living room and integrated it into the Sonos system, so that they could listen to their old records through the Sonos in the rest of the house.

The clients are really pleased with the results, and Mr Jones had this to say about the project:

“Having bought a house with a lot of technology we didn't really understand we called in Limelight after a personal recommendation. Within a day they had come round, specced the job, and explained what we had and what we could do. Within another day I had a very competitive quote for all the various tweaks we could make, neatly explained and detailed, and was able to pick and choose the bits we wanted to go ahead with.

Adam and Sam were both efficient and helpful and we barely noticed them being there. They were mindful to make sure that we were properly wired up for any future amendments as well so we can upgrade or change things in the future.

Having been clueless as to what a lot of our systems were, Limelight both explained it all and neatly labelled each switch, drive, and wire so we will always have a record of what does what.

Limelight made every effort to be with us as soon as they could when we decided to change things and, being a team, there was always someone familiar with the job to talk to if one of the guys was otherwise occupied.

Limelight came up with many suggestions and options to tailor make the job to our requirements….it couldn't have been easier…they made it a great fun experience."
