The Aqua Theatre

Rapallo were contacted by our client who had moved from Auckland to Cambridge. They had just purchased a new home that had a media room, but with no hardware to make it work. So we jumped to action.

We scheduled a day onsite to do the pre-wire work. Usually in an existing home this consists of lots of holes to get the speaker  / HDMI cables around the room. In this case we hit the jackpot and got all the cables run with only one hole required. At the same time the guys onsite installed the projector and set that up for the screen.

There was then a small delay in proceedings while we waited on the board for the cabinet. We constructed the AV cabinet to match the kitchen cabinets in a matt black with four doors and shelves. This was installed and then the Paradigm front array was installed above and on the wall. The acoustic weave 110″ screen was wall mounted and all the speakers installed in the pre-cut cavities. Lastly the amplifier was hooked up, installed in the cabinet with a new Blu-Ray player and the Apple TV. We setup the SVS PB1000Pro subwoofer and the IR senders.

All that was left to do then was to clean up, then setup the speakers and do a room calibration. We showed the client thru the system and explained how to use it. When we left they were happily watching Top Gun.

A great outcome and now a fantastic room for movies and sport.

The project consisted of the following Rapallo AV Design & Build services:
