PROJECT:
Distributed Content @ Home
New Home Build / Multi Room Sound + Content Distribution
Rapallo were contacted by the owner as they were building a new home to assist with the AV spec and build.
The client wanted four aspects of their project managed by Rapallo:
- Multi-room sound through three zones.
- integration of sound bars onto living area TV’s (also used as sound zones).
- Setup and advice on a dedicated media room.
- Managed content distribution of Sky & Apple TV to 4 areas in the home with IR control.
Our team spec’d a Yamaha, Klipsch and Blustream product suite for the project. From the Yamaha Bar400 soundbars for three TV’s, to the Blustream HMXL44CS-KIT for content distribution. For sound in the three zones we used an existing Yamaha AVR to manage a range of Klipsch indoor & outdoor speakers to provide background or party sounds when the client required it.
The project consisted of the following Rapallo AV Design & Build services:
- Onsite AV Consultation – to ensure the setup matches the clients brief and the environment its being used
- Project Management
- Location Specific Custom Build & Installation
- Rapallo preferred suppliers
- Installation & setup – installation of the products / testing and training.
- Post installation Support
PROJECT:
Home Theatre / Multi-Room Sound
Rapallo were contacted by clients in North Auckland during the early phase of a new build to investigate sound and vision options for their new build. We consulted on the products and options available and provided on-going support during the build process. Our installation team did the pre-wire, speaker fitment and cuts during as soon as the gib was added to the walls and then the final fit-out once the project was completed. All ready for the Chinese New Year celebrations.
The system installed in this project contained:
- Dedicated home theatre / media room with a 7.1 setup in the lower level, including
- Custom made acoustic transparent projection screen
- Klipsch in-ceiling speakers
- Klipsch “shallow-space” in-wall speakers
- Optoma UHD projector
- Yamaha Aventage AVR
- Google ChromeCast
- Levels 2 and 3 included an integrated Yamaha MusicCast with:
- 4 Yamaha AVR’s controlling 8 zones in various areas of the house on two levels
- Controlled via the Yamaha MusicCast App on the clients phone / tablet
- Provided access to room specific sound using streamed and local music
This was a four step project based around the clients build timelines and requirements;
- Initial pre-wire was completed before the walls were covered
- Post gib and before plastering / painting, our team cut all the speaker cut-outs and measured speaker spaces to ensure final fit
- Before the scaffolding was removed we installed all the speakers that were at height
- On completion of the homes interior, the final AV fit-out was completed
The outcome was fantastic, the client was over the moon with the sound and the look of the theatre room.
The project consisted of the following Rapallo AV Design & Build services:
- Pre-purchase demo @ Rapallo’s demo room.
- Onsite AV Consultation – to ensure the setup matches the clients brief and the environment its being used
- Product sourcing for small wall cavity spaces / long cable runs

PROJECT:
5.1 Home Theatre & Multi-Room Sound
Rapallo were contacted by the owner to scope a 5.1 Home Theatre & Multi-Room Sound system in a specially designed room in their new build + a two level multiroom sound system. Our team measured the room and provided a few options for the client to consider. On approval of the estimate, the team have gone onsite to measure and mark up the placement of the seating / speakers / wiring / power / data cabling and the control centre.
Once the GIB is placed on the walls, we will be back onsite before the painting starts to trial fit and cut the speaker holes. Post painting we will then commission the system, calibrate the projector and av receiver, and do the final handover and training for the client. They can then sit back and watch their favourite movies in style.
The project consisted of the following Rapallo AV Design & Build services:
- AV Consultation – to ensure the setup matches the clients brief and the environment.
- Pre-wire – a pre-GIB setup and measure, incl pre-wiring the system.
- Installation & setup – installation of the products / testing.
- Optoma & Yamaha system calibration.
- Customer training.
