Case Study: Mad Museum, Stratford-upon-Avon

The Mad Museum is a gallery of kinetic art in Stratford-upon-Avon. We were asked to install a projector and screen for video-based exhibits. The piece shown in these photos is a clock produced by a team working day and night to create the numbers from timber!

We specified a fixed screen to avoid distortion caused by air movement as customers enter/exit the building and partnered it with an Epson full-HD projector. A home cinema projector was used as the brightness of a commercial model was not required given the low ambient light level. Benefits of the home cinema model included reduced cost, lower noise output, lighter weight and lower power consumption.

We would certainly recommend a visit!

Case Study: TV/Media Room, Lancashire

A recently completed three day project to install cabling and bracketry for a Pioneer plasma display and Kef surround sound speakers.

Cabling was run in safe zones through coving and in dot'n'dab voids, resulting in minimal holes and a much reduced bill from the decorator! At the av rack location, all cabling was terminated with modular plates as appropriate.

Case Study: Astbury Hall Golf Course

We were recently asked to install a sound system at the fantastic Astbury Hall golf course in Shropshire.

The management wished to begin using the bar and lounge for club events and private functions and felt that a permanent sound system was necessary.

The bar and lounge had recently been decorated to a high standard in a traditional style. We specified Monitor Audio Radius R90HDs in gloss white to blend in with the decor as much as possible and installed speakers and cabling with the utmost care. Low frequency extension is provided by a hidden Monitor Audio Radius R370HD subwoofer. Amplification and processing were by QSC GX-3's and a Behringer DCX2496.

RTI have, after much anticipation, released their RTiPanel application for control of RTI processors by iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.

Supporting auto-rotation between portrait and landscape, standard iOS -style sliders, toggles and guages, RTiPanel promises an intuitive and seamless user experience. Coupled with the power and reliability of RTI's XP-series processors, there truly is nothing not to like!

License fees are comparable with alternative systems, at £129 per iPad or £79 per iPhone/iPod.

RTI now exclusively offers the greatest choice of user interfaces, including iPad, iPhone, traditional or touchscreen remote controls, hard-button keypads, in-wall touch-screens and PC-based control. No other control system provides such a wide range of possibilities.

RTiPanel is due to be followed shortly by the new, entry-level XP-3 controller. Combining the two will provide possibly the best value iPad control solution available for one-room systems, such as home-cinemas or media rooms.

Call us on 0121 285 2500 to discuss the options available and how RTI can enhance your audio-visual experience.
