Technology can bring to mind ugly black boxes, flashing lights, and a rat’s nest of wires, but it doesn’t have to. Here in this 6,000-square-foot Princeton, NJ, home the owners asked for a basic audio/video entertainment system throughout the house without taking away from the clean, uncluttered design. It’s a request Electronic Design Group hears often. Consumers want music in nearly every room and easy access to audio and video entertainment, but they don’t want to see the speakers, boxes, and cables driving it. The enabling technology also has to intuitive enough that an owner’s manual isn’t required reading. Clean, simple and premium sound is what many homeowners are looking for. Those directives are almost a mantra at EDG these days. EDG tapped Control4 for the project. The Control4 control system sends music and video to every room where the customer wants it. The family can pull up playlists from an iPod, an Internet radio station, music from a Blu-ray player or the music channels that come from cable TV. The same familiar interface is available in every room, either from a remote control with a TV, or a wall-mounted touchscreen display. Each TV can tap into the Control4 system and access any cable station, music channel or music source.
