PROJECT:
The Discreet Home Cinema
The client spent some time with us in late 2020 and we assisted with the technical aspects of the project.
The brief was to provide an upgrade from a TV based system to a new platform that would give them a large viewing area, but when not used was not intrusive in the room. We spec’d an Indigo Motorized Screen, Denon 550BT, Cambridge Audio Minx Speakers and a Epson TW9400 to provide the imagery.
All this had to mounted somewhere, and somewhere that was partially hidden. So to provide a platform for the AV gear in the lounge, the client wanted a shelf to be built over an existing window space. The shelf needed to be strong to take 55kg of gear, and it needed to fit with the room. We designed and built the shelf and it was installed in March 2021.
It looks fantastic and goes with the room style.

- Onsite AV Consultation – to ensure the setup matches the clients brief and the environment its being used
- Speaker Optimisation and Positioning

PROJECT:
New Sound @ Rushworth Cafe
Rapallo were contacted to create New Sound @ Rushworth Cafe. Updating a system that had been put in 12 years ago and was starting to show its age.
We specified a system based on the Yamaha MusicCast platform linked to the fantastic Definitive Technology AW6500 speakers. There are 6 AW6500’s spread across the cafe. Two out front, two in the middle and two in the rear of the cafe plus a speaker in the toilet. This allows the music volumes to be controlled in each of the zones, based on the activity in that area or the content that us being played.
The team have also added a TV to face the outdoor area. This is connected to one of the 4 Yamaha WXA-50 MusicCast amplifiers. Now the TV sound to be played in one or all the zones when required, or a mix of music and TV.
The sound is now fantastic. They can use streaming services and it allows flexibility thru the café all managed via one locally setup tablet.

PROJECT:
The Hidden Movie Sanctuary
Building the perfect hidden cinema out in the rural farmlands.
Our client contacted us early 2019 to ask us to help them with their project. They were building a large shed on their rural property and they wanted to create the perfect movie sanctuary inside it.
Based on the room dimensions and budget, we provided the client with a specific AV plan for the dimensions of the space and their budge. As the build progressed, we also went onsite or provided phone assistance when issues or questions popped up. Late in May 2020 we were called onsite again as they had completed the build and they needed assistance with the final room calibration. And WOW, what a place
Yes the images are terrible we know…
With a stepped up viewing area and two large home cinema couches, a bar fridge, mood lighting and a myriad of bean bags, this is an amazing space that looks from the outside to be the farm implements shed.

- Pre-purchase demo @ Rapallo’s demo room.
