Screen: Widescreen Screen, up to 5M wide £2,895

The correct projection screen is essential to achieving both the best picture and sound quality. With a large screen it is essential that the centre speaker is perfectly located behind the centre of the screen so that voices come from the actors not below or above them. To do this correctly requires a woven screen material that allows sound to pass while reflecting light back. Until now woven screens have been very expensive while reducing picture brightness and detail. Seymour AV screens are high-gain so pictures remain bright and detailed while sound quality is assured. We highly recommend a viewing of this Blu Ray player, projector and screen combination – you’ll be knocked out by what you see!

Audio Visual Processor: Onkyo PRSC5509 - £2,499

Onkyo are makers of some of the finest surround sound Receivers money can buy but their surround sound processor is often over looked. With a reference quality product like the MK active 2510P, this audio system will comfortably outperform.

Power Amplifier: Accurus A2005 - £3,499

Accurus modular amplifiers deliver a peak to peak speaker load in excess of 18 Amps for the incredible dynamics and volume levels that film soundtrack require. The Class A/B designs are THX Ultra 2 certified and are equally at home in the best stereo systems.

Front Speakers: MK 2510P’s – £8,685 for three

With 2 inbuilt 180w amplifiers made to perfectly compliment the drive units in each speaker the 2510P’s is renowned for is incredible imaging and precision. Arrange an audition of these remarkable speakers and you’ll be a convert to MK’s active monitors for life!

Rear speakers: : MK MP150 Mk2’s - £1095 each

These speakers use the exact same drivers as the front active studio monitors but in a low profile, no wall cabinet. A perfect match for the 150 front speakers, these are our favourite speaker in larger rooms or where film and movie soundtracks will be listened to at very high volume levels.

Subwoofers: MK X 12 x 2 £5,390

These subs are designed as part of the professional 150 system. MK invented active subwoofers for use with their satellite speakers over 40 years ago and the pedigree shows when you hear these subs. Unlike most subwoofers which may give plenty of boom at the expense of detail, these subs are as fast and articulate as the studio monitors they are designed to partner. For music or movies these subs are the perfect partner to any speaker system. Two subs provide much more consistent results than a single

Installation Includes:

Surface mounting of all cables and speakers, projector and screen. Video calibration optimised to Digital Video Essentials standards.

 

System Options

Option 1: Stealth Option

All our house systems use compact satellite speakers that are designed to be used with separate subwoofers. This is how professional surround systems are designed as this approach provides the most consistent performance in any room. The in wall version of the speakers we use provide near identical performance to the in room speakers. For the highest quality sound with the most discrete installation these in wall system are the perfect solution. Please note additional installation charges typically apply.

Option 2: Motorised Screens

Our motorised projection screens are simply the best available. Acoustically transparent screens are essential to allow the perfect placement of the centre speaker. Our screens use the only woven fabric that doesn’t sacrifice picture brightness or sound quality. Where motorised drop down screens are required our screens are also unique in using a matt fabric velvet border to frame the picture for the highest contrast images available.

Option 3: ISF Video Calibration

Where rooms can be darkened our combination of Blue Ray player, projector and screen will give the best possible performance. All video systems are calibrated to Video Essentials standards but where optimal video quality must be ensured, we provide ISF video calibration using state of the art test equipment.
