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.
Home Automation enables total control of your home; music, television, lighting, heating, AV, security and more from an intuitive touchscreen panel, wireless remote, tablet or smartphone irrespective of where you are in the world.
All of the services listed above can be custom programmed and controlled by a single App via a wall mounted touchscreen control panel or a smartphone or tablet from anywhere with an internet connection.
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.
