Polk In-Wall Subwoofer Installation: Hartland, WI

Polk IWS-1550 In-Wall Subwoofer Installation: Hartland, WI

The following photos show the installation from wiring to finish of a Polk In-Wall Subwoofer. The customer is very happy with the inconspicuous design that hides in the wall, and the bold, powerful low-end sound it produces without distortion. This type of surround system is perfect for people who are looking to get rid of ugly wires running along the floor with a bulky black box sticking out and taking up space in your home.

Residential Audio Visual Installation

In-wall speakers and subwoofers are a great option to complete the clean look that everyone is currently trying to achieve in home theaters. We installed a Polk CSW-155 in-wall subwoofer that’s powered by a Polk Subwoofer amplifier. The sound produced while listening to your favorite music, movies, and TV shows enhances your audio experience, and takes on an added energy. You’ll feel like you’re sitting in movie theater.

Fun A/V Installation Project: Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin

Custom Audiovisual Installation Project: Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin

Well we have another fun installation project for you folks located in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin.

As you can see from the project photos below this was a tough installation. This home is an existing 1940s brick home that was recently renovated with over 1400 square feet added to it, resulting in three different attic spaces, making it next to impossible to maneuver around to add cabling. This just shows how committed BC Neville tech is to getting cabling where it is needed, and doing it the right way, without having exposed wires—no project is too challenging for us!

We implemented two home theaters, six additional zones of built-in ceiling speakers, and one pair outdoor rock speakers powered by Sonos streaming system. We also implemented a Hikvision six camera surveillance system, featuring an 8-channel two TB NVR, in this home. We installed cameras in several rooms throughout the home giving the client the ability to keep an eye on the nanny. The exterior cameras allow the client to view his entire front yard, including the front door and his backyard, with pan tilt and zoom capability.

Equipment used on this job: Hikvision Surveillance System, Sony TVs, Yamaha receivers, Sonos zone players, Proficient in-wall and in-ceiling theater speakers, Panamax surge protection, Luxul wireless equipment and network switches, URC’s universal remote control, Home Pro controller’s giving the owner the ability to walk freely throughout his home in control all of his entertainment systems, with either the universal system controller, or simply at the touch of his hands with his iPhone or tablet.

If you’re thinking about adding an audio visual system in your home, or just want to hide your existing cables and boxes, please contact me to set up a free consultation.

Existing Multi-Zone Audio System Upgrade: Richfield, WI

Existing Multi-Zone Audio System Upgrade for Home Theater

A client in Richfield, Wisconsin approached us a few weeks back that had an existing Russound multi-zone audio system. This home system did not have streaming features and had two zones which weren’t even functional on the main zone player. They also had several keypads which were non-functional and were interested in the ability to play music wirelessly, in multiple rooms in their house, through their iPads and iPhones.

Based on their needs, we were able to accomplish everything that they wanted to have, without over selling them on additional audio equipment that wasn’t going to add any value or functionality. I stress this point because at B.C. Neville Tech we look at each individual client and system, to design a custom entertainment system that fits their needs.

In this specific application, we removed the non-functioning multi-zone player and keypads, replacing them with a cost effective new Sonos system – a great fit for their specific needs.

The Sonos system allows you to play music, movies, and TV wirelessly in multiple rooms with zoning capabilities—you can play different songs in different rooms, or you can group all your speakers together to hear the same song throughout your home.

The Sonos sound system, with their small speaker design, has a crystal clear vibrant sound that automatically balances no matter where the speaker is placed in the room.

After install and training, the client was having issues with the system shutting down. We have installed nearly 100 Sonos systems in 10 years and have never come across this issue. Immediately we came out for a service call and were able to discern that their AT&T router was not compatible with the Sonos system. By updating their router to a compatible modem router, this solved the issue and the system has been working great ever since. Client is happy.
