PROJECT OVERVIEW
Whilst refurbishing his family home, John Dixon opted to install Systemline 7 (S7), the state-of-the-art multi-room audio system. The easy-to-install solution was chosen due to its ability to stream online music services whilst also holding John’s extensive music collection.
THE PROPERTY
The family home is an old Victorian building in the Park Parade area of Harrogate. It has nine rooms including an open dining room, lounge, master bedroom with an en-suite and a wine cellar. The property is currently being refurbished with a modern décor.
SYSTEMLINE 7
S7 is built into the fabric of the property and provides high quality audio in up to 24 separate, independent zones. It supports up to and including 24/192 music files for the very best sound quality and facilitates options for personal listening, adding wireless zones and creating a home cinema zone. The platform also incorporates built-in music file storage.
Six S7 zones were created throughout the property, including the lounge, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom, en-suite, hallway and wine cellar. Each room has been equipped with a pair of 6.5” in-ceiling performance speakers from Q Acoustics, as well as specially designed wet-room speakers in the en-suite. The system is controlled via KPS11 keypads and an iPad Mini docking station. All the speakers were connected using high quality cables from QED.
THE INSTALLATION PROCESS
YESSS Wholesale Electrical Supplies has stocked S7 for more than two years. When John expressed interest in a multi-room music system, Craig Anthony Electrical Services (CAES), who was installing electrics at the property and is also a frequent customer of YESSS, advised John on the benefits of S7. An installer from CAES had previously undergone a one-day intensive training course with Systemline so he could learn how to install and setup S7 correctly.
John commented: “I have always wanted a multi-room music system and I was impressed by the simplicity of S7 and the ability to tailor it to my needs. I wanted a product from which I could easily access my CD collection, as well as allowing my family to use online music streaming services such as Deezer and Spotify. I also liked the fact I was able to have TV sound in the lounge and kitchen through a simple control.”
“It surprised me how straight-forward it was to install S7. It was up and running in just a couple of days with no problems or challenges. A Systemline representative also took the time to show me how to use every feature of S7 once it was installed. This ensures I can get the most out of my investment.”
A VIEW FROM THE TOP
Jonathan Bennett, Marketing Director at Systemline, said: “Systemline 7 is an innovative product that provides homeowners with a state-of-the-art multi-room sound system. The simplicity of the installation process and interface makes it the perfect product for families to use in their everyday lives.
“Systemline delivers regular S7 training courses across the UK, allowing installers to familiarise themselves with the solution and how it is setup. Once completed they join a list of certified installers, which offers the perfect opportunity to strengthen their portfolio of services.”
