Home
Theatre is a complete
home movie experience
using the latest high
performance technologies
installed together to
bring you the ultimate
cinema experience in
the comfort of your
own home.
This
means that typically we
may install a projector
for a true large screen
cinematic feeling, a 7.1
surround sound speaker
system with the latest
electronics powering them
to create an enveloping
sonic experience. Both
audio and video are precisely
calibrated by own engineers
to ensure that they are
performing to the highest
standards.
A
control system to make
these complex systems
a breeze to operate for
all the family is a must
for any Home Theatre.
It is recommended that
the rooms lighting system
is redesigned so that
there is no compromise
in performance for the
projector which typically
require a darkened room.
The lighting design may
also include blackout
blinds to keep sunlight
out when watching a movie,
the lights and blinds
can then have their operation
automated and be controlled
by the same control system
that will be custom programmed
to control the rest of
the cinema.
In
dedicated rooms as in
the picture above we can
take the whole cinema
experience further by
adding comfortable luxury
cinema seats that provide
so much comfort that the
local multiplex will be
jealous!
It is also strongly
recommended that Technophobe
acoustically treat your
room. This is so often
overlooked but is vital
to ensuring a top performance
from a true home centre
piece.
Flat
Sceen TV
Technophobe supplies both
plasma, LED and LCD screens
of all sizes from all the
major manufacturers such as
Panasonic, Sony, Samsung etc...
We obviously have our favourite's
and of these we think that
the latest standout screens
are the ultra slim LED screens
from Samsung and the latest
3D plasma screens from Panasonic
are just amazing for the latest
High Definition and SD content.
We also offer a complete flat screen installation service that is second to none. We will wall mount your screen, hide all cables even cutting them into the wall and plastering over them if necessary to make sure no unsightly cables are seen, then finally your screen is calibrated to ensure that it is operating correctly and at the best performance.
Artcoustic are the leaders
in high performance loudspeakers,
used in studios throughout
the world and by artists like
The Prodigy, these speakers
truly perform. The best part
though is the looks, Artcoustic
speakers are designed to be
wall hung and look like a
picture frame. The speaker
grills are the artwork for
the 'frames', choose your
artwork from a huge catalogue
or even have your own pictures
printed on to the grills for
that personal touch.
If you are currently enjoying
the latest High Definition
television broadcasts via
Sky HD or Virgin HD and have
a Blu-Ray player too you might
like to enjoy the benefits
of High Definition video and
audio in other rooms of your
home?
Technophobe can design and
install a complete HDTV distribution
system that will enable you
to plug in your HD televisions
and receive High Definition
content in any chosen room
of your home.

Apple
Mac Based Multi-Room Systems
One of the most popular requests
we get asked for at Technophobe
is a music system that incorporates
Apple's iTunes software or
iPod's and iPhones. We thought
long and hard about this,
building an easy to use system
or adding this to an existing
system is not easy as it seems
due to the way Apple products
are designed to be primarily
connected to Apple products.
But we found a way... actually
a few ways. So if you have
lots of music on iTunes and
want hear them around the
home then get in touch.

Multi-Room Audio/Video
What is Multi-Room?
Multi-Room Audio and video is a way of enjoying your favourite music or TV/movie in any chosen room in your home. The systems that we install are designed to be very high quality and easy to use.
Choose your sources, Radio, Blu-Ray,
Music Server, Sky/Vigin TV, Movie
Server, iPod etc... You choose what
is important then we custom design,
install and program your Multi-Room
system to control these sources from
anywhere around your home or even
outside.
Lighting
Design
At Technophobe we offer a full lighting
Design service. We can design for
a whole building or a single room.
Control and automation of lights and
blinds is very popular when we install
a dedicated cinema. The lighting design
is a very important part of the movie
experience - before the film starts
lights dim but stay on at a low level
where needed (away from the screen)
to enable you to see the exit or your
drink and popcorn.
With new energy conservation building
regulations in place governing domestic
new builds we are seeing an increasing
importance on the control of a buildings
lights. Not only can a really good
design create a wonderful look but
with the correct control products
we can minimise their energy consumption
too. We have used many different types
of low energy LED light fittings and
know that through the minefield there
are some really good fittings that
will enhance a room.
We favour Philips Dynalite products
for total control of all lighting,
curtain, blind or motorised device.
We have Dynalite trained installers
who will discreetly build your dream
lighting design into an easy to use
automated system.
