Life in high definition
SmartWall-AV ...The Ultimate Multimedia Wall
A fully integrated self-contained four metre wall of Entertainment - for the Lounge, for the Office, for the Conference Room, for the Yacht - or the ultimate Bachelor Bedroom! Panels elegantly slide open by remote control to reveal the hidden 60 inch ultra high definition TV within. The top two high definition TVs allow you to watch other events in parallel, at the press of a button – Surveillance cameras, the Internet, Stock Prices, News, Sports or Movies. When the doors are closed, the upper TVs are still visible and can be turned on to display paintings or photos - the images changing at a predefined interval. Unique.

Loudspeakers that can be hidden away ... AND also sound great!
Traditionally in-ceiling speakers are of poor sound quality, leak sound into the rooms above and are non-directional which means that all the treble notes disappear, unless you are standing directly under the speaker. LEARS International have two ranges of directional, audiophile-quality speakers for the discerning listener that wants the best of both worlds - great sound and discrete design.

'SMART HOME' CONSULTANCY SERVICES
The days of co-axial aerial cabling run- ning throughout the home for TVs are dead and gone. High Definition HDMI' is the future... What this means to the Interior Designer, Architect, Builder and last but not least the Home Owner, is that upfront consideration must be given to a suitable wiring infrastructure that is comprehensive and relatively future proof ... not just for AudioVisual systems but also lighting and security systems. Structured cabling can also have a sub- stantial impact on the future value of the property - for an expenditure of typically under £5 per square foot. We're not just talking sending Sky signals to TVs but al- so the transmission of Audio, Video, IT & Control data throughout the house. Many home-owners also still have con- cerns over wireless communications and providing suitable wired connections via structured cabling will help to minimise air-bound electrical pollution. Specifiers should use a reputable sup- plier that can work with your electrical team to make sure they understand how to route these specialist cables. Companies such as The Pleasure Home provide a complete 'Infrastructure Package', which includes full documenta- tion of the final wiring infrastructure together with Project Management serv- ices to ensure that the electrical team lay and label the cabling correctly. The re- sulting documentation is also the perfect 'handover' pack to the new occupier. The Pleasure Home, is the next
generation of Smart Home specialist, providing Initial Specification Consultancy, Project Management, Structured Cabling Services, Wiring Schemas right through to complete AudioVisual, Lighting Control, Security and H&V solutions.
