A walk round to check progress on one of our projects in Essex.

Tacking and plastering is now pushing on. The project is almost ready for the installation of the Sonance plastered in speakers internally and Sonance Extreme speakers to the external canopy’s.

Next week we will be testing and certifying the data network and commencing the second fix of the data rack and WiFi access points using Ubiquiti UniFi throughout.

Installation of a new CAME Axo gate system to an existing gate. The old motor assembly was failing and the existing control gear was inaccessible.

A new GRP enclosure ensures servicing and maintenance is easy to do. Installing battery operated safety cells saved digging the drive. There were no sensors previously fitted risking the client damaging either themselves or a vehicle.

Using the CAME App as well as key fobs allows the clients to not only operate the gate but also monitor its open / close status remotely.

Clean up operation of a new client’s existing system.

Luxul switches replaced with UniFi so everything is under one eco system.

Random data cables terminated into keystones and documented.

PDU’’s were in the back of the rack so these have been brought forward and labelled.

Finally the installation of Starlink has taken the client from 20mb on copper to 300mb.

One of our projects in Suffolk is now complete and handed over to our clients.

We installed whole house WiFi with hardwired data infrastructure using UniFi for its functionality and ease of management.

We then installed Bluesound Multi-room audio to three zones using Monitor Audio Creator Series Speakers. C2S’s were used for their performance from a small visual footprint.

Bluesounds ability to play HiRes audio from the likes of Tidal and flexibility of inputs and configuration makes it a great choice.

Using Bluestream ARC baluns the client can play the TV’s over the speakers and control the volume using the standard TV remote control.

The Kitchen from K2B also looks fantastic.

Monitor Audio are a great speaker brand that we use for both multi-room audio and home cinema installations.

We have a range of their products on demonstration at our showroom. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for a listen.

Home theatre and multi-channel music are both incredible ways to experience audio, but they make very different demands on a speaker.

For a home theatre, you need height channels that feel anchored, directional, and physical; a speaker that scatters sound instead of focusing it will undermine the entire system.

For multi-channel music, you need resolution and musicality that reveals every layer of a mix, wrapping the listener in a true three-dimensional soundstage.

The Creator Series C2L-A was engineered to meet both briefs without compromise on either.

We love Future Automation products. There products are the best on the market and if they haven’t got a solution on the shelf they will make it for you.

Last week we were back to one of our projects in Essex.

The templates for the Sonance plastered in speakers on the 1st floor are now fitted for the tackers to plasterboard up to.

All the low voltage cabling is now installed throughout the property ready for final positioning as the templates are fitted.

A total of 18 Sonance IS8 invisible speakers are to be installed providing a totally invisible audio solution. In the main living areas the sound will be reinforced with Sonance in-wall subwoofers.

Installing a point to point WiFi link into a workshop today using UniFi for its ease of installation, reliability and ease of management.

11/04/2026

A few good days at one of our projects in Essex.

The Low Voltage cables are now dressed into the containment. Data cables terminated and the TV distribution completed.

The rack builds have also now commenced off site so we keep ahead of program.

The next on site works will be the installation of the plastered in Sonance speakers to the 1st floor.

Commissioning visit for a data installation to a private residential solar project.

We used OM3 fibre because of the distance, achieving the same speed out in the field as the incoming internet service.

Using pre-terminated fibre eliminated the need for splicing on site and reduced costs to the client.
