PROJECT:
Focal Entertainment Space
The Focal Entertainment Space is a great project. It showcases what can be done with floorstanding speakers in conjunction with a TV.
The client spent quite a bit of time with us (Bensan) in our experience rooms. It helped them to understand the project, the Focal speakers and the outcome they were going to get on the space for music, movies & sport. This is why our experience rooms are so important.
Our team scoped the project hardware and once approved we delivered that on site. The client arranged the install of the TV, brought a new cabinet (for the centre / amp) and got the carpet lifted to run the speaker cables to the rear speakers, based on our cabling diagram.
Once installed, Bensan headed up to setup and calibrate the room for the content and placement of the speakers. As there are quite a few hard surfaces it took a few hours to get it sounding great. We are really happy how it sounds and looks.
