‘C’ Project – Castle Rock Media Room

The ‘C’ Project – Media Room/Surround Sound in Castle Rock, CO

Here at EDI/Rush!, we get calls from clients every week from clients saying – “I already have equipment for a surround sound but need it hooked up, can you do that?”

Those go along with the “I connected my surround sound but nothing works, can you fix it?”

The answer is always absolutely, often times though, their is more detail involved with getting a good surround sound up and running. The ‘C’ Project is a great example of having almost everything they needed, they were just missing the expert.

There are many clients who don’t require pre-wire or full design and installation services. This installation in Castle Rock, CO is a prime example of a client who moved from out of state and brought their existing equipment but didn’t have setup the way they always wanted. Their new home was prewired for surround sound but it had never been utilized. This particular project already had most of the equipment they wanted for a surround sound system but they didn’t know how to get it to work. Rush! came in for an initial consultation on the project and took time to look at the equipment and wiring they already had and then filled in the blanks with the proper equipment to bring it to life.

The ‘C’ project already had a newer HDTV, a setup with Comcast and a Bose surround sound system that was moved from their old home but never connected. The new home had a surround sound system prewired in the ceiling and just needed a little help to get it going in time for Christmas (and all the company). The owner expressed that they felt the existing setup didn’t really fit in the home and they wanted to get rid of their old TV stand. Rush! came in and took their existing TV and wall mounted it in the nook, installed new wiring for HDTV and a new center speaker location as well as having new outlets installed for the HDTV and rack by Electric Doctor. The new equipment was to be rack mounted in the nook while the Bose system had the front and rear speakers ceiling mounted on new brackets as the existing Bose brackets were for wall mounting.  Rush! added in the rack, a new surround sound receiver, power conditioning which included power conditioning for the HDTV and a universal remote control system with RF capability.
