Milwaukee, Third Ward: Home Theater and Multi-Zone Whole Home Audio SyStem Update/Upgrade

For many reasons, both first-time clients and loyal existing clients call BC Neville Tech to update or upgrade the outdated technology in their homes and offices.

In this case, we did the home theater update for two reasons.

First, the existing receiver was defective, and the technology is 12 years old was out of date and nowhere near the current quality. We installed a new Denon AVRX3700H: 9.2 Channel 8K Ultra HD AV Receiver with WI-FI, HEOS built-in, and voice control. We chose this system because of it’s quality and functionality. It’s a wireless multi-room sound system with a free app giving you full control from your smartphone or handheld device.

BC Neville Technologies also installed a Vanco HDMI splitter to allow the client’s Apple TV, Sony Blu Ray, and Denon AM FM tuner to be played over the client’s existing Speaker Craft MZC 66 whole home keypad music system — a heavy duty amplifier and controller for in-home audio.

We upgraded the cabling where necessary to allow 4k & 8k viewing through the client’s Sony Bravia Smart TV.

Finally, we removed all of the obsolete wirings from the old system and neatly secured the cabling to look more appealing and allow for easy service or additions to the system in the future.

We reprogrammed the client’s Universal Remote URC MX-980 to control the new upgraded equipment and trained the client on system operation.

The client was very happy with the quick installation, completed in one day, and was most happy with the enhancements to the system with the new equipment, such as music streaming and smartphone control from anywhere in the home or patio, to name a few.

Lutron Caseta Smart Lighting: Frankline, WI

Lutron Caseta Smart Lighting Control Installation: Franklin, WI

BC Neville Tech installed a 4 device Luton Caseta smart lighting control system in an existing client’s home in Franklin. The client needed both a smartphone and remote control of lights in a couple of rooms in their home. We were able to install the devices, transmitting module with a new CAT6 cable pull.

Finally, we added a few scenes, all on/off, and astronomical clock settings to automatically turn on more off the lights at a certain time of day. These are great for landscape lights, Christmas light remote control. All of this was accomplished for the client in one day. The system consists of two Lutron Caseta dimmers, two pico remote dimmers, and a Lutron transmitter module.

Existing Home Surround Sound Theater, Cabling, Finish Installation: New Berlin, WI

Existing Home Surround Sound Theater, Cabling, Finish Installation: New Berlin, WI

We were happy to work with this New Berlin, WI family to provide an upgraded home entertainment system in their existing home. We started by providing new cabling for their televise and surround sound system. As you can see in the photo below, the cables concealed inside the walls giving their home theater system a clean look—you can’t see any of the wiring.

We installed a 65-inch LG 4K TV on Peerless Articulating Mount Bracket with a 5.1 Surround Sound Home Audio System for a theater experience in the comfort of their own family room.

The client was extremely happy with both the functionality of the system as well as the clean lines.

As you look through our website and browse our blog articles highlighting completed projects, you’ll see that we work with each client individually to provide custom work. In this particular New Berlin home we installed updated cabling as well as a TV and surround sound system that the customer already owned.

We also install outdoor audio visual systems for outdoor living spaces as you’ll see in this Hartland, WI home. We also enjoy working with builders to install home entertainment systems as the home is being built as you can see in this Whitefish Bay home.

BC Neville Tech specializes in finishing systems in existing homes, updating cabling as needed for current technologies, and working with contractors on new construction residential homes. We install everything from TVs to tp projectors to surveillance systems in new and existing residential homes and commercial properties.

Existing Home WiFi, LAN upgrade, and 75” TV Cabling: Oconomowoc, WI

Existing Home WiFi, LAN upgrade, and 75” TV Cabling: Oconomowoc, WI

We recently upgraded the WiFi and streaming capability in a 7000 square-foot home in Oconomowoc, WI as their current WiFi wasn’t adequate for this large home. We worked with the client to identify the needs they had for a new home network system and designed a Multiple-Access point Luxul Home network giving them an additional access point on the opposite side of the home for complete coverage throughout the entire house for all of their devices.

In addition to the new home network, we cleaned up their existing wiring infrastructure substantially (please see the gallery below for before and after photos) with a  Luxul 24 Port Switch, access points, control hub, and a Yamaha MusicCast Wireless Receiver. Finally, we installed a new 75-inch wall mounted Samsung 4K LED TV, with a Peerless-AV SmartMount Articulating Wall Arm mount, as well as completed the necessary cabling for that new TV. All wiring was run internally inside the wall to keep a clean look in the living area.

The client is ecstatic with the new WiFi range provided as well as the hardwired streaming capability. They previously experienced substantial buffering while streaming videos and music, which no longer occurs even on 4K content.

Each project we work on is completely customized to ensure your residential A/V system is exactly what you’re looking for and is within your budget. We carry A/V products from the top manufacturers in the industry like Sony, Samsung, and Yamaha. We take care of the design, so it fits seamlessly into the decor of your home.

If your current home WiFi or wired network is not adequate for streaming music or videos, please contact us at (262) 844-1535‬ or bryan@bcnevilletech.com for a free consultation. We’d be happy to work with you to design the best custom solution for your needs, whether it’s an entirely new system, or incorporating your current system along with new and updated components to create the best entertainment system possible.

 

Home Theater With Stealth Acoustics: Burlington, WI

Custom Home Theater Installation With Stealth Acoustics: Burlington, WI

BC Neville Tech was very happy to be brought into this project to rebuild an existing home theater. The client had done a remodel about 10 years ago and had installed invisible in-wall Stealth Acoustics speakers. Several of them no longer worked, so the client wanted to have new upgraded speakers installed with the drywall repaired.

Custom Audio Visual Installation for a Clean Look

This project was challenging as we’ve installed many speakers in the past, however, had never removed them. To get the invisible appearance the Stealth Acoustics speakers were first covered with a layer of thin plaster and then painted to color match the walls. We had to locate the precise location of the existing six speakers—five in-wall speakers and one in-wall subwoofer—and remove them as carefully as possible.

We then repaired the drywall, while matching the existing wall texture, to accommodate the new upgraded speakers. We installed Proficient IW630 Inwall LCR speakers and paired them with a Proficient Jewel 8 inch IWS105 Inwall Subwoofer powered by an external Yamaha amplifier.

The client also wanted the existing main equipment, that was located below the television, to be relocated to the left of the television inside the built-in cabinetry. We extended existing wiring to accommodate this request, giving this home theater system a much cleaner and organized look.

Please see the pictures below of this project from start to finish, as it’s a great representation of the truly custom work the BC Neville Tech produces. The client was very happy with the enhanced quality of the sound in his home theater. He was equally happy to have his equipment cleaned up and moved to a more desirable location.
