Clients in Danville have taken on a major remodel and brought us in to do all things low voltage. New security, home networking infrastructure, and all new distributed audio and video.
We will be adding Napco security, B&W speakers as well as Episode outdoor sound. All controled by Control4 home automation!
Here are a few pictures of where we begin….tear out.

The old closet full of electronics-Tear it out!

The old security system, a bit of a rats nest! Tear it out!

Yikes!!! Tear it out!

The “Electronic Coffee Table” will go. Replaced by one remote or the phone app.
We will post more as the project move forward! It is going to be a great improvement for our clients!!

This has been a long project. We have touched everything low voltage in this beautiful home. Lighting, security, audio, home theater and outdoor sound and TV. All fully controlled by an automation system by Control 4. To follow are a few pictures with more to come!

Here is what a Security Enclosure should look like!

The rack is getting populated and you can see the wires coming in to the closet from all over the home. The rack features Control 4, Marantz audio components and more.


This will be a flush mounted Control4 Touchscreen for control of the entire home. Light, HVAC, Security and Audio / Video!

Where is the outdoor sub woofer???

Let me move the shrub…here it is!

Here is where the iPad goes!

Looks as good as it functions!

Home Theater Review recently reviewed the MLX-3 and concluded: “For people who are looking for flawless performance from their AV systems, as well as their home automation elements, the MLX-3 delivers in spades.”
Read the full review.

The Crestron MLX-3
And now, the popular “one-handed” remote that Home Theater Review recognizes as easy, powerful, and reliable is even better. With our new firmware update (1.07), the MLX-3 is now faster and more powerful.
Benefits of the new firmware include:
* Significantly faster page-flip time
* High performance RF communications (especially in noisier RF environments)
* Extended battery life
