A/V System Upgrade: New Berlin, WI

We were thrilled to be brought in to this existing home to upgrade their VPN network system. The wiring in many existing homes can no longer accommodate new technologies, but the homeowner would like to take advantage of all of the current smart home features like music and video streaming—that’s where we come in.

The cabling in this mid-90s house was outdated. We discussed the objectives of what the owners wanted for their media system needs and designed a smart home and AV system for them. BC Neville Tech completed all of the updated cabling within the home, including HDMI, network, and IP surveillance cameras.

This client also had a large bulky AV rack in the middle of their great room to encase all of their AV equipment and cabling. We were able to reroute the cabling and move the equipment location to the basement (as pictured below) to give them a much cleaner feel in the great room. Additionally, we updated both of the TVs in their theaters with two 65-inch wall-mounted 4K televisions on a Peerless Articulating Mount Bracket with a mounted soundbar.

Finally, we updated both of the receivers, installing the Yamaha brand featuring the MusicCast app allowing the client to seamlessly walk through the home and control all of their music from their smartphone or tablet. The client was pleased with the ease of functionality as well as with how much this cleaned up both spaces.

Please contact Bryan at (262) 844-1535‬ or [email protected] if you have an existing home AV system, theater, or other low-voltage systems that need updating. We specialize in upgrading wiring plans, no matter how old your home is, and would be happy to meet you on site for a free consultation.

Audio Visual System Upgrade in the Third Ward: Milwaukee, WI

Custom Home Theater Upgrade: Downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This was a really fun project in the great room of a Third Ward industrial condo. We upgraded from a 50 inch television that was sitting on a cabinet, to a 75 inch Sony XBR 4K UHD TV that is now mounted on an articulating arm.

We flanked the TV with Inwall LCR theater speakers from Proficient, while hiding all of the equipment nicely in the armoire below the television. All of the audio visual equipment can be controlled with the armoire doors closed by using a Universal Remote IR/RF Hard Button Control.

We replaced old ugly bookshelf speakers that were falling off the wall, with much cleaner looking built-in InWall LCR‘s located below the screen in the dedicated theater area. We also upgraded the client’s universal system controller, added a Sony Blu Ray Player to give streaming capability, and upgraded the old theater receiver with a current Yamaha 7.1 Audio MusicCast Theater Receiver giving the client the ability to control the system and stream music from the convenience of a smart phone or tablet.

The client is very happy with the new look of their home theater, and is excited to entertain friends and family during football season.

A/V System Rehab: Pewaukee, Wisconsin

Custom Audiovisual System Upgrade for Pewaukee Residential Home in Southeast Wisconsin

We just finished up an audiovisual system rehab in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. The photos below show the first part of the system update; we’ll post additional photos of this project, and the other work done, shortly.

We installed 65 inch Samsung TV with an upgraded SnapAV sound bar above the fireplace, while incorporating other components into the built-in bookcase. This new equipment replaced two old bookshelf front speakers. Additionally we added a sub woofer to the system improving the sound quality dramatically. The components for the sound bar system are designed to interact wirelessly to the sub so there’s no need to run a cable from one to the other.

We added the MX HomePro controller, a universal remote control, giving the homeowner control of all the equipment behind the closed doors of the cabinet from one interface. This remote control also allows you to keep up to eight of your favorite apps—such as Facebook and other lifestyle apps—in a scrolling bar to easily launch in a snap.

Finally in this area we replaced an old receiver that didn’t have any music streaming capabilities, with a new current Yamaha RXV683. The new Yamaha receiver comes equipped with Yamaha streaming application “Music Cast” allowing the client to turn on and off his equipment, and select music streaming choices, directly from his phone or universal remote control.

The client was extremely happy that we were able to utilize his existing equipment, giving us the ability to deliver key features the client was looking for, while updating to current technology, and only purchasing new equipment where necessary.
