Multi Room Audio Visual

Multi Room Audio Visual solutions

A multi room integrated music system allows you to enjoy your own music collection as well as DAB radio and any internet streaming service in any part of your home at the touch of a button. Additionally, when combining the audio element with an HD TV system you can select and watch satellite TV services, such as Sky +HD, Sky Q, streaming services such as Apple TV or your own video content via Blu-Ray DVD on every TV in the home in HD quality making entertainment simple, intuitive and flexible.

For multiroom music, the benefits are seamless sound whilst walking from room to room. The same source of music can be selected to play in all zones creating party mode, or differing sources can be played in individual zones. Speakers can be in ceiling, in wall, invisible plastered in speakers, or free standing. Whether your installation is a new build or retrofit there are speakers to suit all applications. With distribution partnerships with Amina, KEF and Sonance audio system manufacturers IKM can help you choose the right speakers for the premises. IKM are also authorised distributors and installers of industry leaders Sonos and Linn Audio.

Multi room HDTV allows you screen various entertainment devices to any number of TV’s around the property. With all source devices connected via an HDMI Matrix in one central location and using a single category 6 cable and balun receiver at each TV location all TV’s can operate using the same source or each one can watch a separate service independently.

Pre-wiring design and installation

Pre-wiring design and installation for new build homes

Older residential properties are notoriously badly designed for the modern data-hungry, technology based infrastructure needs, but if you are working on a new development or a ground up re-fit there is an opportunity to get things right from the planning stage onwards.

Considerations should include Home Theatre, HD Television system, Home Automation and Security, Speakers, both visible and invisible as well as Home Audio & Video distribution and structured cabling for high speed internet & voice. Partnering with IKM on the design phase of a new build or renovation project can assist with defining the IP connectivity that the house of both today and tomorrow is going to require.
