Smart-Home Systems
Audiovisual Consultores offer a full design consultancy service for the installation of audio-visual automation systems for smart-home residential projects.

ABOUT
Rob McAllister has over twenty years of experience in Home Automation and Audio-Visual Installations, with the latter twelve years of owning and running a successful installation company (McAllister AV) for high-end projects in London. He has now relocated to the Balearic Island of Menorca and has established ‘Audiovisual Consultores’ with the aim of providing consultancy services local to the region, neighbouring islands and mainland Spain.

Consultation
This is the initial assessment of client requirements, followed by the development of a ‘Room Matrix’.
This provides a blueprint of the required AV components, (TV, Music, Lighting Control, Wi-Fi coverage etc.) per room or zone.

Product Specification
Based on the agreed Room Matrix, a detailed hardware specification is drafted for pre-contract applications by selected installers.
The draft may include an initial hardware budget, but will exclude installation labour which will be added during the procurement process.

Cable Design
Detailed first-fix AV cabling designs are provided to correspond with the AV specification.
The design will include relevant product details, low-voltage cabling with ID’s, (Speaker, Data, & POE Devices) and a full cable schedule. As-built rack schematics are to be provided by the AV Installer.

Cinema Design
The focal point of any home entertainment system is the BIG screen and immersive audio. Whether in the form of a UHD TV, or a large cinema-style projection screen, projector and surround sound, a dedicated or multi-functional room, solutions are available that can suit the room or the occasion.
Early design and planning is essential to achieve the ultimate result. Consideration needs to be given to speaker positions, screen size, seating, and acoustic treatment all relative to the size and layout of the room.
Audiovisual Consultores can assist in all elements of the initial design concept
