Cool rack

On our latest install at Kensington High Street - space is at premium so our rack had to be mounted pretty high in a boiler room, joined by washing machine and a dryer! In order to have access to the back of it, we had to use this clever Sanus swing brackets & Sanus skeleton rack. Rack will hold about 50kg of gear including Rotel power amps, two Sonos Connect pres and various home network equipment.But first, I have to organize those cables hanging at the back!

Sanus rack - soon to be populated with some nice gear!

 Network & Wi-Fi, telephone, speaker, broadband and
TV (Virgin, Sky, Hot Bird, Freeview) cables...

French Job - part 3 (add ons)

It's been a while and we are back in sunny France for some additions to our award winning installation (ITSA 2014 Best International installation Award). 

To bring things u to date, we installed two Heos by Denon pre-amps / streamers/ One for the main house as an extra source and one in the big barn, connected to Arcam 8ch, power amp & 10 Kef outdoor speakers. It rocks!

We also replaced old Imerge S300 music server with Innuos Zen Mini MKII music server / ripper playing through modified Sonos Connect. We also hooked up PS4 in the main salon area and replaced old HDAnywhere HDMI matrix with new MHub2K 4x4.

Other additions were 11 (!) Nest Protect smoke detectors / fire alarms and two Dahua 4 mega pixels IP cameras - recording onto 12TB Qnap drive.
