TV Installation Above Fireplace: Sussex

BC Neville Tech was selected for this above fireplace TV installation project due to our unique experience in integrating technology solutions in truly custom environments. The client wanted to mount a 75″ Samsung QLED above their gas fireplace with a cultured stone veneer.

Even though the stone veneer is manufactured using a strong adhesive and can hold quite a bit of weight, we had to be aware of, and take into consideration the integrity of the structure.

Ideally, both for the homeowner and BC Neville Tech the builder would have completed basic Power and Low Voltage cabling to accommodate a wall-mounted flat screen. Unfortunately, in this case, as in many, no wiring was done pre-construction.

Thankfully, BC Neville Tech is one of the only local technology and low voltage integrators with experience to remove stone and mason work to allow for the required cabling for the client’s new smart TV mounted on a Peerless articulating arm. The client also chose to go with a mounted soundbar.

Once the stone is removed and the cabling is run, the TV wall mount is attached to the wall. The TV is installed, plugged in, and we make sure all of the cords are out of sight. Zip ties are a handy tool to keep electrical or low voltage cables are organized and tucked into place behind the TV.

Finally, the client has a Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and Sony Blu-ray player which we ran a 30 ft Vanco HDMI cable and CAT6 network cable. The result, is a clean, very contemporary installation, as you can see from the project photos. We look forward to helping this client in the future with their new basement media room.

Thanks, Michael & Shannon!

Home Theater Above Natural Fireplace, Pewaukee, WI

Project outline: convert Samsung Frame and Bose surrounds system install.

We were hired by this Pewaukee family to supply electronics and installation services for this challenging project and the end result was great!

They wanted their TV mounted above the fireplace for an aesthetically pleasing look in their living room, and to free up wall space for bookcases, furniture, and wall art but didn’t want any cables showing. Setting it on the mantle was out of the question. For safety reasons, they wanted to attach the TV to an articulating arm.

This home has a natural fireplace so access behind the fieldstone was not possible. Our installation and design staff was able to draw from over 25 years in rural architecture, building, and custom AV installation experience to disassemble the mantle and seamlessly route TV (high-speed optical HDMI), Network (Cat 6), and speaker cabling.

Our team also made sure to incorporate other factors into the design such as the distance of the TV form the fireplace, measuring heat output, and best TV selection for a fireplace mount.

We then used a Peerless Articulating Mount to hang the 65″ Samsung Frame TV. The client was very happy with the truly custom and professional result of the installation. The Samsung Frame TV and Bose surround speaker cabling is run to the Yamaha Aventage 788 surround sound receiver and source equipment located remotely in the basement resulting in a clean, sleek installation which you can see in the photos below.

New Construction Audio Visual: Hartland, Wisconsin

New Construction: Hartland, Wisconsin

This was a fun project to work on. We were brought in to design the low voltage cabling and audio/visual for this client in Hartland, Wisconsin. The customer wanted all of the equipment hidden so we used an office closet as the main level Audio/Visual/IT control center. The main floor is driven with a Yamaha RXV683, Sony blue ray player, 4K Apple TV, and Samsung 65” HDR UHD Smart LED TV.

Residential Audio Visual Installation

The lower level equipment is hidden in a closet below the stairs. This system is also driven by a Yamaha RXV683, Sony Blu-ray player and 4K Apple TV, and 65” LG 4K UHD Smart LED TV. Both systems can be linked with the MusicCast CONTROLLER App allowing the family to control streaming directly from their phones.

The client was very happy that we were able to incorporate some of his existing equipment, while upgrading to current technology where appropriate. Both systems are controlled by URC RF Universal System Controllers.
