A Perfect Blend
Some clients just don't want to give up
their trusted treasures, no matter how enticing the latest technology
might be. This New Jersey homeowner clung faithfully to his audio- and
videophile roots with a stash of cassette tapes and a high-end tape
deck, a reference-level FM tuner and even a workhouse laserdisc player
and supporting library of 12-inch videodiscs. His prized Wilson Audio
WATT Puppy speakers rated the status of man's best friend so they had to
remain a prominent part of any future A/V mix.
At EDG, it's all about balancing homeowners' wishes
and needs with the latest technology, so accommodating analog gear in
the digital age was nothing new to the EDG crew. What EDG brought to
this discriminating homeowner was an understanding of multi-room audio,
home theater and integration. Not only was the client able to hold on to
his venerable gear when the project was completed, but it became much
more accessible when matched with a Crestron multi-room audio system.
The
wood-paneled media room in this Garden State home served multiple
entertainment purposes. Live entertainment comes by way of a grand
piano. A near-live experience comes by way of the Wilsons, the only A/V
gear allowed to be prominently displayed in the home. The Wilsons
provide two-channel sound when the client is in audiophile mode and they
connect directly to their own dedicated Krell amplifier located in the
garage directly under the floor. Since the client had invested a tidy
sum in a pair of audiophile cables for the Krell-Wilson marriage, EDG
tunneled a passageway through the floor to accommodate the 12-foot pair
of audiophile cables.
The media room is also the home's theater, and the Wilson speakers play a
starring role here, too, as the front-channel surround-sound speakers.
The rest of the supporting cast of electronics are cleverly hidden in
and outside of the room. Additional side- and rear-channel speakers were
built into the paneled soffit that circles the top of the room.
Theater design required careful cooperation between millworkers and
installers. The owner wanted the projector to be hidden from view and
had a specific location in mind for the couch. In addition, construction
details had to be considered as well as screen size. With all that in
mind, EDG designers selected a Runco VX-5000 DLP projector for its image
quality and vertical offset capability. The latter allows installers to
position the projector higher than the top of the viewable screen,
which allowed the projector to be placed out of the way in the crown of
the cabinet at the rear of the room. The 117-inch screen rolls up into a
crevice in the ceiling when not in use.
The owners' video sources, in addition to his laserdisc collection,
include cable boxes and a cutting-edge DVD player. Components requiring
access are stored in the cabinet and additional A/V gear is hidden in a
ventilated utility room adjacent to the media room. When the temperature
of the gear hits a specified reading, fans kick in to keep the
equipment cool, meeting manufacturer's operating recommendations and
preserving the life of the electronics.
TV is part of the living room, too, but only when
actively engaged. The client didn't want to see a large black screen
above the fireplace so EDG sent the image of artwork the client selected
to Media Decor, which designed a retractable screen and frame mechanism
to cover the plasma panel during off hours. When it's time to view TV,
the client presses a button on the remote control: the canvas rolls up
into the frame housing and the TV powers on.
Music frequently plays throughout the 12-zone home
from a variety of sources including FM radio, tape, cable music and CDs.
It's not just about analog sources, though. EDG's designer stepped the
client into the digital world, too, with a Request Multimedia digital
music server, which stores music according to artist, track, album and
genre. The client can create his own playlists, too. All music sources
are available via keypad or touchpanel throughout the house and in the
outdoor entertainment area.
Here in New Jersey, contemporary and classic come together in perfect harmony.
