Low-Voltage Systems for New Construction Home on Nagawicka Lake

Low-Voltage Systems for New Construction Home on Nagawicka Lake, Delafield, WI

Once again BC Neville Tech was brought in to consult on all the low-voltage audiovisual systems for this amazing new construction home on Nagawicka Lake in Delafield, WI. We were able to advise the builder, Orendorf Custom Homes, on specific electronics to fit the overall aesthetic that the designer, Source One Project Solutions, and client was looking for. Some of the highlights are a Sony XBR 65 inch 4K TV with an integrated 7.1 surround sound system. The client has six zones of audio in addition to their home theater.

All of the source equipment is remotely located in the client’s home office. Hiding away the equipment creates an extremely clean look in each of the rooms, leaving only the built-in speakers and wall-mounted television visible. In many locations, the client decided to paint the in-ceiling speakers to make them virtually blend into the ceiling.

We used Yamaha receivers, featuring MusicCast app and URC MX HomePro controller’s, with Total Control 2.0, throughout the home. Total Control 2.0, the complete whole-house automation system, combines your home theater and smart home technology into an intuitive, easy-to-use system. You have the ability to control your lights, thermostat, locks, and shades. The URC MX HomePro system integrates with thousands of products, allowing you to create a system that’s perfect for your family. It also gives you substantial upgradability when adding additional smart devices within the home in the future.

The URC MX HomePro system also gives you full controllability of audio or video in each zone while walking around the house with your smartphone or MX HomePro controller. In addition, we also installed a single surveillance camera 24/7 monitoring system in the driveway. The client can watch live and streaming video and receives alerts with recorded clips of triggered events.

These easy to use switches give the Doctor and employees the ability to independently control each of the six specific patient spaces.

Sussex: Outdoor Sound System Installation

BC Neville Tech recently worked with a family in Sussex, Wisconsin to install Bose Outdoor Speakers in a covered patio. Our team not only installed and programmed the equipment, we also completed any wiring needed for speakers as well as the new volume control. We took our time to ensure the wiring was done properly, up to code, and is hidden, giving it a clean look.

The client was thrilled that all the wiring was concealed and they could enjoy their new speakers while outside all summer! Being able to listen to their favorite tunes with family and friends creates a relaxing and friendly environment. This seemingly small touch gives their outdoor living area a personal feel.

This system is powered by an Onkyo 7.1 receiver. They now have a multi-zoned audio system; one zone inside their home, and with the second zone feeding the patio speakers. The whole system is controlled with a Universal Remote Control MX980, with an RF Base Station giving the client the ability to use the remote control throughout his home and patio.

The universal remote control allows you to easily program your entire multi-zone home audio system, giving you full control from the palm of your hand. The base station is basically a fixed communication location that is part of a network’s wireless system—it relays information to and from the receiving unit, in this case, the Onkyo 7.1 receiver.

Onkyo’s new A/V receiver is built specifically for high-definition media and has a remarkable processing capability due to its HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface). This receiver delivers the latest in versatility, with multi-room playback, a full connectivity suite (with switching and upconversion), satellite radio connectivity, room calibration, and integrated system control.

As you can see in the photos below we take great care in ensuring your project is done right the first time. We work with you in selecting equipment that meets the of you and your family. Contact us today for a free consultation!
