Wired For Sound

Challenge

The client approached Webstract as he was building an Eco Home in Hertfordshire and was looking for a partner to assist with providing a multi room audio solution and media room.
The property had a modern feel so choice of products was important to complement the minimalistic design which had a Scandia Influence.
The choice of products was also about the quality of the sound so the choice of products needed to allow for sound equalisation to produce the best music production possible.

Solution

After careful consideration, Webstract proposed a multiroom audio system for 3 x music zones on the ground floor using a variety of speakers from the manufacturer Artcoustic. Together with the ability to select high quality music from the Tidal using Sonos music players and DSP (digital signal processing) amplifiers by Control4. For the media room, Webstract recommended an 85” TV with Dolby Atmos surround sound, again using Artcoustic speakers, Webstract installed a 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos media room with 4K TV resolution. The complete solution for both multi room audio and media room, Control4 was chosen to provide a seamless interface for controlling the systems Webstract installed.

Result

The outcome of this amazing project that produced a Zero Carbon footprint home was a multiroom audio system that allowed the home owner and his family to enjoy amazing music in the 3 rooms of the home using the simplicity of their smart phones to search, select and control the music in high quality completely calibrated to the acoustics of the individual rooms. The media room also exceeded the clients expectations and the following statement is an indication of the success Webstract achieved on this project.
