Don't want to see any speakers, then look no further
Fiche technique |
When the director of executive home builder, F. Witherington and Son, decided they wanted a new home they built it using his own company and. He then filled it with all the great AV equipment that they’d installed in the homes he’d built for other people.
The centrepiece of the new home is the lounge-cum-family area that doubles as a full 7.1 home cinema. The criteria for the set up were simple – no visible speakers, a system that would give even, room filling high quality sound and loudness that would meet the varied demands of the family.
This was a job for Amina’s Invisible Plaster In-wall speakers
As it says, the Amina speakers are actually plastered into the wall providing fantastic natural sounds with zero visual foot-print. You mount them within a plasterboard opening in a wall or ceiling, skim over with plaster and once dried the surfaces are ready for decoration. The process is just as simple for solid walls.
The whole AV system has delighted the client, and in particular the home cinema set up has really impressed.
“We have a great collection of live music DVDs and they really come to life when played on the system and speakers” This is because Amina mimic the way natural instruments like an acoustic guitar, violin or grand piano work they generate a diffuse sound wave.
This means the sound generated by an Amina Plaster In-wall loudspeaker is not directional as it evolves in all directions - a hemispherical wave. So in a big room the sound sweeps through the space and into the corners to give a more even, ambient coverage.
“The detail in movies’ soundtracks is simply astounding – we watched a particularly loud segment of Swordfish (a movie I am not particularly wowed by) and the explosive finale left us literally looking around for the hail of glass and debris that seemed to surround us.”
