Few days off after a crazy busy year.

Last wee project of the year was installing sound and security cameras for Sweat Peas cafe newly opened in Cookstown. 🍔🧁

6 ceiling speakers split into 3 zones for maximum coverage and control with FM radio, aux and Bluetooth connectivity.📻🎶

And all angles covered by the UHD cameras with integrated microphones and automatic night-vision mode constantly recording and accessible to watch and listen from anywhere via a phone or tablet. 🎥📲

Why not call in over the next week when you have the time?

This was a nice project - St. Patrick’s PS, Annaghmore were exploring options for a projector and sound system for their school hall.

After a site visit, hearing what they needed and discussing a few options we were delighted to be given the go ahead.

The challenge was finding a bright and clear enough projector to be used during daylight but also high enough quality for a cinema like experience, all without getting into crazy money.

Our solution was a state-of-the-art 6200 lumen laser projector and a giant 120” retractable screen. Laser projectors have a cleaner picture and don’t deteriorate, dull or discolour like some LED or lamped and so should be maintenance free for years to come.🎥

This was coupled with a professional grade EV sound system, sourced from Rea Sound, Cookstown.🔉

With wireless screen-mirroring, Bluetooth audio, HDMI and aux connectivity they should have all angles covered for video and audio together or independently.

Delighted to hear it was put straight into use when a school day trip was cancelled by Storm Bram and then get its official unveiling at their big cinema night. 🍿

Enjoy guys and thanks for thinking of us!

A couple of early mornings to be in Bangor for 6AM to get a few hours work in before the bingo started at 10:30!

Happy to have helped Oasis in Bangor get back up and running after their sound system failed in their main bingo hall.

They asked us to have a look to see if it could be repaired and, if possible, find a way to connect it to the existing foyer and gaming rooms sound system.

We were able to source a system that was simpler than the previous, more powerful for running the 60 ceiling speakers throughout the big room but also allowed for zonal control and shared audio across all areas using their existing equipment. 🤘🏼

A few snaps from a new build near Stewartstown we completed in 2024.

All electrical design, installation and completion carried out by ourselves with every circuit on RCBOs, meaning that if there is any fault only the relevant appliance, handful of plugs or circuit cuts out - so life can go on in the meantime and faults are very easy to identify and resolve.

The owner works in technology and AV so the remit included leaving the house entirely future-proofed:

- ethernet and WiFi throughout

- light switches ready for the coming days of being replaced by touchscreen controllers that do much more than just lighting

- multi-room audio and AV integration

- cable installed and isolator on exterior wall, ready for an EV charging point

- solar PV cables pre-installed and back boxes in wall ready for hooking up panels, inverter & batteries

- heavy supply to garage to facilitate additional EV point for when there’ll be two in the drive

- supply in for power and security to gates

- air source heat pump installed with smart control

All of these ‘extras’ are almost negligible in the cost of wiring a house and completely negligible in the overall cost of building one but leave the house ready for plug and play upgrades which will save the mess of opening walls & ceilings 5 or 10 years down the line and the cost of the work involved.

Away most of the week in Roscommon, Kildare & Dublin installing solar inverter & battery systems for Alternative Energy IE - give the guys a shout if you’re thinking of it. ☀️⚡️

Busy local day today though - 3 Tado & 1 Google Nest home heating systems installed in Clonoe, Coalisland & Tobermore. We fixed a few simple lighting problems for 2 customers while we were there too.

The Tado have been flying this last while, we’ve installed a dozen or so in the last couple of months and everyone is delighted with them.

They are the most versatile of any of the smart heating systems on the market and work with the vast majority of existing systems, whether 1 zone or multiple and with or without separate hot water control.

Retro-fitting them is painless with little or no mess, only takes 1-2 hours and upgrades your heating to far better level of control & efficiency but simple to use and can be controlled from a phone, tablet, Alexa, Hey Google or just a good old thermostat on the wall. 📱🗣️💻

Busy week of long days in Co. Roscommon installing a new sound system throughout Nancy Nancy’s & Rockfords - Ireland’s oldest nightclub.

The venue is undergoing refurbishment and a complete upgrade in the sound system.

We installed Martin Audio Ltd CDD & CDD Live throughout, all centrally controlled by an ALLEN & HEATH AHM control which allows any source from any of the 3 rooms to be played back to any of the 12 zones.

Anyone in the pro-audio game will know the quality of this gear and the live music room sounds stunning with 2x18” subs & 15” tops throughout - it is a system worthy of a theatre and will rival any music venue in the country.

Then a mix of 18” subs and 15” & 12” in the other rooms along with re-integrating the best of their existing gear.

Of course all can be controlled from manager’s phones or house iPads and remote access support in an emergency. 📱

All gear supplied by our friends at Rea Sound and a big shout out to their tech wizard Gerry for the programming.

Have to say we are loving these triple lamp post we installed recently in Cookstown.

They’re just a bit more decorative than the usual Victorian style you see regularly and they wanted something something just a bit more solid than the ones you see leaning to one side so often. 🙈

These were a better quality unit, taller and more solidly built than what was available locally but without going crazy with the price.

This is a house that we’ve previously installed smart lighting, heating & security so these were perfect to integrate and have on schedule to come on for a couple of hours at dusk or control via voice or phone. 💬📱

Was nice to be involved in putting the final touches to this boutique Airbnb in Cookstown - we added a Ring floodlight camera for security, monitoring guests arrivals & departures and it doubles up as an intercom, all directly from the owners phones.

We also carried out full testing and inspection to issue them with the EICR for Airbnb approval.

Best of luck to the guys, it’s a stunning wee house!

Been quiet on here again this last while - but that’s always a good sign that we’re busy getting the work done!

Delighted to have been involved in this project at The Old Rectory wedding venue in Killyman.

They have built a stunning bespoke building for their guest’s evening dinner and entertainment which, combined with the existing buildings and extensive gardens, must make it one of the premier wedding venues in the country.

We were asked to find a solution for their audio needs:

- integrate seamlessly with their aesthetic, for which no detail has not been thoroughly considered.

- have the ability for bands & DJs to plug in and use without needing to bring in their own rigs.

- simple, intuitive & convenient to control so that multiple managers & staff can control volume, zones and change between background music, band, DJ or house radio mic.

- maximise the coverage and volume of the sound system for the guests whilst minimising the sound escaping and potential for noise pollution for neighbours.

Our solution was the Martin Audio Ltd CDD8 in white distributed throughout the room for maximum coverage and stunning audio quality which allowed for a smaller than usual main sound system at the stage area.

All are controlled via an ALLEN & HEATH AHM digital processor which allowed for the custom designed control which managers now have on an iPad behind the bar and each of their phones for convenience.

Equipment sourced from our friends at Rea Sound-Audio.

The owners are delighted with how it has turned out, and so are we.

Working local this week - we’re for repairing a mains supply to some cattle sheds and out houses that was taken out by Storm Kathleen at a family farm near Stewartstown.

Replacing outside lights and installing a Ring doorbell in Cookstown.

Some rewiring for a garage being divided to make a new utility room and adding circuits for the washing machine & tumble dryer.

And few other wee handy numbers.

Here’s a nice wee one from last week - installed an outside socket to give power for a back garden patio area for the summer season and for the Husqvarna man to plug the wee garden eater into.

Give us a shout to get you scheduled in for that job that’s been needing doing.

09/03/2024

All set up and ready to rock at the first ever event in Moy town centre organised by Mid Ulster District Council.

Loads of stalls selling local crafts and produce, cookery demonstrations and 14 artists and bands across to day & tomorrow.

Live music starting from 12:30 - 6:30 today & 1:30 - 5 tomorrow.

Looking like a good day out if you’re about the parish.
