The worlds most expensive speakers

It can sometimes be a struggle to sell boxed loudspeakers in to a home environment - even when the speakers are made out of lovely blocks of hand finished wood, matched to the interior. Some of our speakers are literally works of art.
Quite how you sell a pair of £200,000 Magico Ultimate's is beyond me!

Apple TV and iPad control from a Crestron system

We are currently finishing an IP module which allows full two way control of Apple products from a Crestron system. The module allows easy integration of a Mac with itunes running on it or an Apple TV system. The module therefore allows cheap and easy multi-room audio systems to be built up using Crestron control equipment and Apple products.
Check out the main site - www.CustomControls.co.uk - for more information, including videos.

Crestron Light up the Worldcup

Crestron's commercial lighting control systems have been used by FIFA to light up new Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. The Crestron system controls all general lighting and LED in the stadium. More than 2800 lighting loads are controlled by 10 seperate processors, all integrated together, in the largest Crestron lighting system in South Africa. 
The system proves the scalability of the Crestron lighting system, allowing the system to be used for any size of project.

Home Cinema Installation in Cheshire

We are currently working on our best home cinema installation yet! The actual room is underneath a huge kitchen extension - measuring a whopping 20m x 10m! We have a 3D render of the finished Home Cinema room we used to show the client the effect we were aiming for and some pictures of the room on our Home Cinema case studies pages. We will be uploading pictures of the installation here and pictures of the finished article on our case studies pages.

Lutron Lighting Installation

Over the past three months we have performed quite a number of Lutron installations and a huge amount of programming. We must get more calls on Lutron programming than anything else at the moment - which is slightly frustrating as had we installed the kit in the first place there wouldn't be a need for a third party programmer! 
Our Lutron Lighting installations have mainly been residential with a couple of small Grafik Eye systems in boardrooms. Case studies may make it on to main site although our biggest project has asked us not to publish pictures at the moment. The house interior wasn't quite finished so hopefully we can come to an agreement where we perform some free tweaks for photos, we'll have to see how that progresses.
