We were recently contacted by a gentleman that wanted a television mounted on his wall. He wanted a cantilevered mount, problem was that his historic home was built with lathe and horse hair plaster which makes it very difficult, if not impossible to find studs, and even if you find one they may be spaced differently that today’s standard 16″. We have done this work before. The wall needs to be reinforced with plywood to dissipate the torque from the combined weight of the TV and the bracket. We finished the project and our new client was extremely happy! Thanks Martin for letting us make it happen for you!

So, look who’s going wireless!
There is something to be said about wireless audio these days and it’s because the technology of wireless has improved to the point where it is almost impossible to tell whether the music is being played via a wire or a wireless connection. Of course, you will always be restricted by the range and quality of your wireless network, but as long as your home/business Wi-Fi network is solid (and at Wired 1 Consulting we know how to make that happen) wireless audio has a lot going for it. One of the most successful Wi-Fi audio systems has been SONOS. It’s a very well built platform and was groundbreaking tech in 2002, when the company was founded (are you still using a 15 year old SMART phone… I don’t think so) (Wired 1 Consulting still does support the SONOS system) BUT, wireless technology and the adoption of Wi-Fi by leading audio companies in the industry have gone well beyond the capabilities of the SONOS platform, both in sound quality and interoperability. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Sound QUALITY. With SONOS you have to use SONOS products in order to have everything work together. With the development of systems like DTS Play-Fi and Play To technology you are now free to use speakers and amplifiers from trusted audio companies that know what GREAT SOUND sounds like! And they are delivering the goods!
We still love wiring houses, our name is, after all, Wired 1 Consulting, but it is now possible to create a truly flexible and fantastic sounding wireless system for your family that’s fun and easy to use and gorgeous to look at, or not look at, as the case may be, we are also Atlantic Canada’s leader in concealed architectural and landscape speakers!

Get that Vinyl digitized!
If you are, like me, “really old”, you probably have about 500+ pieces of black, very heavy and space collecting vinyl records in your home (don’t feel bad, I have more than 2000!). No, I’m not saying to get rid of them. You could pack them up and store them in a dry corner of the basement, but, there is always that particular album that hold a special place in your soul… the soundtrack of your first date, your first car etc., that you want to dig out and give a spin for a trip down memory lane. Wouldn’t it be nice to just whip out your tablet or phone and play them any time you like. With today’s technology it’s as easy as simply playing them on your record player one last time and turning them into high quality digital files that you can easily take with you anywhere. If your turntable and cartridge (needle) are in good repair you can get yourself a NAD PP4 phono preamp. This little box plugs into your turntable, accepts both moving coil and moving magnet cartridge systems and gives you an output that can plug into any amplifier of receiver that has an input and, most importantly, gives you a USB output that can connect to your computer (Mac or PC). All you do is play your record and the computer software does the rest. Voila, your favourite music is now totally portable.

Yes, when you buy good equipment it tends to last!
I was recently contacted by a long time client about the transition to 4K television and the new surround sound technologies. He owns a great set of Mirage speakers (front towers with built in powered subwoofers, center channel speaker and bi-polar surround speakers) that were well over 10 years old, but in great shape, but the TV and the older electronics had been giving them issues. I recommended that they keep the speakers, but the heart of the system needed an overhaul! A new 65″ UHD display got hooked up to a new UHD Blu-ray player and the old speakers (they still are awesome!) were hooked up to an Anthem AVM60 digital preamp/processor and a new Anthem 5 channel power amplifier. The results were incredible! Rock solid imaging and music and picture detail that have to seen and heard to be believed. When you are ready to make your move contact Wired 1 Consulting!

Audiophile on a budget!
So, a home theatre is on the menu for those, too soon to be coming, winter nights! What can you buy that won’t break the bank, but will sound as good or better than your neighbourhood odeon. Here’s what the experts at Wired 1 Consulting suggest for you. 3 Paradigm Cinema 200 speakers for the front right and left and center speaker, a Paradigm Cinema 100 package that includes an 8″ powered subwoofer and speakers for the right and left rear and right and left with one speaker for the “voice of God” speaker (if your A/V receiver is so equipped). If you want to do Dolby Atmos or DTS X surround sound add a couple of SpeakerCraft AIM 7 Profile in-ceiling speakers! This custom package is going in a client’s theatre next week! I can’t wait to hear what it sounds like!
