PROJECT:
Business Training Space Fitout
Our client approached us as they had a new office being fitted out and it needed some AV for the training rooms and spaces.
We came onsite before the project kicked-off and did a pre-build walk thru of the requirements with them and discussed options. Our team then scoped the project and provided an itemized estimate for them, plus also ran through the options. One of the main requirements was to ensure the products and the installation fitted into the environment, were flexible and easy to use.
Once approved, we commenced the installation work over 3 days. Starting with the installation of two TV’s in two training rooms, plus the addition of a generic Video Conferencing platform in the main boardroom.
Our team then moved to the main training area to begin a day of pre-wiring the setup. We then installed the speakers for the sound (for the projected content) and the speakers for the microphone platform.
Next on the list was hanging the dual projectors and twin 120″ motorised screens, and finally the rack. All the cabling is contained in metal cable conduits to fit with the style of the space, this is an important aspect we work hard to achieve on most projects.
On completion of the building work, we did the final fit-off and tested the platform, then trained the team on how to use it. It looks fantastic and works a treat.

PROJECT:
Iconic Home & Integrated Theatre
Rapallo were contacted by the client in late 2019 to build a small home theatre in a formal lounge space in a recently renovated room.
Initially it was spec’d to be a in-ceiling and in-celling projector lift, but once the roof spaces were removed and the area investigated the space wasn’t going to work. Working with the client we revised the spec and added a shelf mounted projector and a on-ceiling screen. The brief for the speakers where they have had to deliver great sound for movies and music, but they had to blend with the library style of the shelving / books.
As the room was already constructed, we ran chase’s thru the walls to get cabling for the speakers / HDMI and power to the right places. We then repainted the walls and ceilings back to the original spec.
For sound we used the ELAC range, with bookshelf speakers for the from L+R channels, and a matching centre that was mounted above the fireplace. SVS ran the subwoofer and the projector was a white Epson 8400 to blend it with the room on the custom shelf we built to mount it. Running the room was then a Yamaha AVR with the BluRay player and Google ChromeCast.
The project was a challenge as it was interrupted by COVID lockdown No.1. So as it wasn’t finished we quickly DIY’d a system for the client for the lockdown duration, and it was then completed once we were back at level 2.
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
- Speaker Optimisation and Positioning
- System design and aesthetic matching
- Project Management
- Rapallo preferred suppliers
- Installation & setup – installation of the products / testing and training.
- Post installation Support
PROJECT:
Home Theatre Refresh
Rapallo were contacted by clients in central Auckland. They had an existing home theatre room and wanted to upgrade the entire room.
We worked with the client to come up with an AV spec that suited their needs, and the acoustics of the room. Our team of builders / electricians then removed the old cabling (as it ran around the room in ugly conduit) removed the gib and re-routed all the cables in the walls. We replaced an existing door and replaced it with a new cavity slider to remove the space the doors took up. The AV cabinet was updated and tidied up including adding access from the rear and LED lighting and the door was made to fit into the wall so it was almost invisible. The room was then put back together, plastered and painted.
The client choose a great colour for the room (shark) and then a fantastic red carpet to make it a really amazing space. The windows were blanked out and the room is now a “movie santuary” that is pitch black when the lighting is turned off.
It was a complete renovation and the result was outstanding.
The AV system installed in this project was optimised for the dedicated home theatre room and it included:
- Anthem 1120 AVR
- Custom made AV cabinet door and wall hung racking to provide more space
- Klipsch in-ceiling speakers for the Atmos with custom made mounting rings
- SVS Prime Elevation rears and surrounds
- ELAC Muro’s placed on-wall
- 133″ Fixed Frame Acoustic Transparent Screen
- Two Velodyne subwoofers
- Sony 4K Projector
- Vogels Projector Mount
- Russound IR extender
