In-Home Feature Entertainment Wall: Waterford, WI

BC Neville Tech was invited into this Waterford home to install an entertainment wall that is both streamlined and functional. The client requested a 65″ Sony HD LED XR65A90 TV with a complete sound system mounted together with no wires showing at all.

We selected the Klipsch Cinema 1200 Sound Bar and Subwoofer which are mounted together on an Amazon brand Articulating Arm Mount and a Sanus SA405-BI, including cabling. Not only can the whole system be articulated easily for best viewing from multiple angles, the client doesn’t need a media cabinet to hold the sound system or cable box which saves room and gives the space an uncluttered look.

TVs are also susceptible to tipping over, and is always a concern with toddlers and pets in the house. Securing it to the wall is a great way to ensure safety and peace of mind.

We were happy to complete this installation which included mounting the client Sony HD LED TV and running Ethernet and HD Coaxial Cabling to accommodate Spectrum cable box which was discretely mounted behind the television.

We installed a Vanco 280751 IR Kit management system to allow the Spectrum remote to communicate with the remotely located box.

Our professionally trained staff was able to transform this empty wall into the client’s feature entertainment wall in just one afternoon.

Please contact the industry leading professionals at BC Neville Tech for flatscreen or surround sound installation or any of your homes low voltage cabling needs.

Ironwood Golf Course: Sussex, WI

BC Neville Tech had the privilege of working with Ironwood Golf Course in Sussex, WI again for an audio visual installation in the commercial party space. Last year we installed their outdoor audio and paging system, this time their existing commercial amplifier needed to be upgraded so we replaced it with a current JBL commercial VMA-1240.

We also installed a new 12U A/V rack and completed cabling necessary to accommodate the new main equipment location. The rack gives a locked secure location for the A/V equipment, while offering easy access to the equipment and wiring for future upgrades or service. The JBL VMA-1240 powers a total of 3 different zones of audio with a total of 12 speakers; eight Bose indoor/outdoor speakers and four Atlas commercial speakers.

Ironwood’s open-air party barn, the most talked about event venue, will be ready to rock for its first event next season! This is the ideal place to host a wedding, social gathering, fundraising event, or any special event and we’re thankful to have played a role in making it so. Here in Wisconsin you just never know what the weather be like on any given day; Mike and his team thought of everything when they designed it to also be fully enclosed to accommodate events in sub-par weather.

The fully-functional barn includes through-the-wall service to outdoor seating, a bar, and a Bluetooth stereo system with a wireless microphone allowing you to create your own social atmosphere. This was a fun collaboration with Mike and his team in selecting the best equipment to ensure there aren’t any issues during important events.

The speakers are strategically placed so your guests can hear speakers and music whether they’re inside or out. The multi-zone controller/amp allows you to play separate music inside and outside if you so desire. The wireless microphone gives speakers the freedom to move around during their talk.

Thanks to Mike and his team at Ironwood Golf Course for their continued partnership with BC Neville Tech!

Lake Home Theater Service Upgrade: Pewaukee, WI

BC Neville Tech was initially called into this lake home theater project to look at a nonfunctioning subwoofer. The system was outdated and did not feature a smart receiver. After consulting with the client, he decided it was time to bring the system up to current technology standards and decided on a Yamaha’s flagship receiver the RX-A3080. We also added surge protection for his entire theater with a Panamax MR4000.

The Major Benefits of Upgrading a Receiver:

9.2 Dolby Atmos surround configuration for a cinema-like experience.
More amp power for increased volume and a larger dynamic range.
App control of receiver and streaming services through the Yamaha MusicCast App.
HDMI connectivity.

The client’s speaker cables and main equipment cabling were run exposed on the floor. The client did not like this, so all exposed speakers, subwoofer, and network cables were run in-wall concealed and terminated cleanly to wall plates. The client also asked that we take some time cleaning up the main equipment cabling, they were very satisfied with the improvement.

Finally, we added (2) Sunfire XTEQ10 Dual Subwoofers to the clients existing Polk 7 Channel Tower Speaker configuration. This system shook the house! It delivered the bass-heavy system the client was looking for. The whole family is looking forward to playing video games, streaming their favorite movies, and watching their favorite sports teams from the comfort of their home while feeling like they have a front-row seat.

Thanks, Mike!

Three Main Benefits of Professional Home Theaters Installations:

Less work for you! If you were to install a home theater on your own you’d most likely spend hours researching the best equipment, what tools you’ll need, and how to install everything. A pro keeps up on the latest technology and equipment, knows what type of equipment is best for each scenario, and has all of the necessary tools.
The job gets done no matter how tough. You may think you know how to do just about anything, but when you’re working on a home project, just about anything can happen. You never know what really goes into a project until you get started. A pro knows how to troubleshoot difficult situations.
A professional installer most likely knows a lot more than you do. A pro will actually save you money in the long run because they have the knowledge to be more efficient and can provide options you not even be aware of.

Whitefish Bay: Luxul Wi-Fi & Home Network Upgrade

BC Neville Tech recently completed a Network/Wi-Fi upgrade using Luxul’s Whole Home Wi-Fi System. This cost-effective system includes one Luxul EPIC 3 XWR-3150 and one Luxul High Power AC1900 Access Point AP to install a reliable wireless network.

Nowadays, a rock-solid Wi-Fi and wired network connection are crucial for every home office, home theater, media room, and whole-home entertainment system. Your family relies on a strong and consistent wireless infrastructure not only for streaming video content on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu or listening to music on Pandora or Spotify but also for working from home and attending virtual school.

The client is an attorney who’s using Zoom to meet with clients and for all court appearances. He was frustrated with his current system because the wireless signal would fluctuate in his home office and great room. At times the Wi-Fi signal would drop between one and two bars, resulting in constant buffering.

He needed a heavy-duty system that wouldn’t drop professional calls during important meetings which is why we implemented the Luxul Whole House Wi-FI System and programmed the Epic 3 Router. We’ve used this system for years and it’s been consistently successful project after project.

Finally, BC Neville Tech ran cabling including HDMI, RG6, and CAT6 and added a Luxul High Power AC1900 Access Point XAP-1510. This boosted the client’s overall Wi-Fi signal throughout the condo to a full five bars while streaming, including the two priority areas his home office and great room. The client was ecstatic as he’ll no longer need to worry about dropping calls or buffering during important Zoom calls with clients or the court.

BC Neville Tech looks forward to helping anyone with weak Wi-Fi signals both for home and office.

F45 Training Facility in Brookfield, WI

BC Neville Tech was happy to work with the F45 Training Facility staff on their second location, 1745 W. Bluemound Rd., Brookfield. The F stands for functional training which incorporates a mix of circuit and HIIT style workouts geared towards everyday movement. The 45 stands for 45-minutes—that’s all you need for a full-body workout when done right.

Their motto is efficiency, and so is ours. The BC Tech team consulted with the owner and building manager to customize the best sound dampening measures for their needs. They wanted a sound system that sounds great but isn’t overwhelming in the space.

We started by completing all of the low voltage cabling, including the CAT6 network, a standardized twisted pair cable for Ethernet, and better sound. The cable has to meet specific requirements for crosstalk and system noise and has a standard performance requirement of up to 250 MHz versus 100 MHz for Cat 5 and Cat 5e.

Once this beautiful space was built out and finishes we complete BC Neville Tech’s professional installation staff returned to install the massive commercial JBL Control 31 speakers and JBL Control SB2210 Subwoofer using our custom suspension hanging system which ties into the girder joists resulting in a very clean look on the drop or open ceilings.

This custom suspension hanging system is also beneficial for sound dispersion and dampening. We routed the JBL Control speaker system to a Crown digital amplifier, Sonos digital streaming device, and sound mixer.

The client was exceptionally happy with the quality of the sound in the space, tethered with the sound dampening measures taken.

Lastly, we terminated all Category 6 and Cat 5e network cabling and connected to clients 24 port ethernet switch and router.

Thanks, Scott, Eric, and the rest of the F45 team! Best of luck at the new location!
