Multi-Room Audio and Video is the most convenient way to enjoy music, movies and television around the home. These are systems that are heard but not seen, and when seen are beautiful and expertly installed without wires or mess.
We can install systems that will outperform most traditional hi-fi systems except that the systems that Technophobe install are discreet, good looking and easy for all the family to use.
Here are some of the products that we supply and install.
Systemline S6 - 4-zone system installed from - £10,000 +
An advanced multi-room audio/video system with the easiest to use touch screen panels that control the system. Typically setup with a Systemline Sound Server which will hold an entire CD collection on its hard drive, it has three independent outputs which means you can listen to three different CDs at the same time in three separate rooms. You can browse your entire CD collection via the touchscreen wall panels.
Systemline S6 also has an excellent interface for controlling Sky TV, you select thirty of your favorite channels that we then program in to the system, then when you want to change channels you find the correct icon for the channel you want, press it once and hey presto!
DAB digital radio also has a two-way interface with Systemline S6 meaning that you can also see the stations that you want to listen to. Once selected the station name is displayed along with the signal strength and program information.
One very useful feature is an input for iPods. If used as a main source the iPod has again a two-way connection to the system that allows you to see and access all the music and video stored on the iPod. We can also install local iPod docks, meaning that you could have docks in a bedroom, lounge and kitchen for instance. This is particularly good for families that have multiple iPods, allowing someone to listen to their iPod through the Systemline S6 in the lounge while someone else listens to their iPod in the bedroom and so on.

QED MusiQ - 2-zone system installed from - £1,500 +
The beauty of MusiQ stems from its power and simplicity. The better your hi-fi the better the sound. Sonically, MusiQ adds nothing and takes nothing away. But it will multiply the enjoyment your system can deliver by liberating it from the confines of one room. Because MusiQ is a full-function multi-room system without the usual cable runs and expense, you simply connect two sources - typically CD and tuner - hook up speakers to the places you want sound. And enjoy quality music in the room of you choice.
In 1982, Sonance co-founders Scott Struthers and Geoff Spencer asked their client to point to the precise spot on the kitchen wall where she’d like her speakers placed. And with a single swing of a hammer, shock waves went through the audio and architectural industries that reverberate to this day. At that moment, what the founders of Sonance had created was literally a breakthrough.
The relationship between architecture and audio would be forever altered.
Sonance did something that no one in the audio industry had done before: move the loudspeakers off the floor, off the shelf, and into the wall. Suddenly the placement of speakers was limitless, with both the walls and ceiling of any room in the home now part of the blank canvas open to the architect and designer. With Sonance, speakers could be less obtrusive, but no less acoustically precise. With Sonance, speakers could make sound an element of design, like light, form, and color.
That creative freedom, that power to see architecture and audio blending in new ways, is what Sonance has always offered the design community and its clients. At the same time, Sonance has continued to innovate, leading the industry to solutions that designers, custom installers and design-sensitive audiophiles recognize as truly breakthrough.
