Multi-Room Audio Video Throughout this Mayfair Apartment

This apartment in London’s fashionable Mayfair benefits from an ultra-discreet multi-room audio video system. Full HD audio and video distribution via a Crestron Digital Media system routes any video source to any display, with audio enhanced by plastered-in ceiling speakers. DAB radio, Airplay and a digital music server allow streaming from any room or grouped across the whole apartment. Crestron lighting control rounds out the system — the entire apartment managed from a custom-designed Apple iPad interface.

The Crestron Multi-Room AV System

Sky HD, a Blu-ray player and Apple TV are distributed at full HD to four televisions around the apartment. The main living room also benefits from full surround sound. Cat5e cabling distributes signals from the centralised equipment rack to each display. Audio zones are served by plastered-in ceiling speakers — genuinely invisible, no visible grilles, no compromise to the Mayfair interior. Multiple iPads allow different rooms to enjoy different sources simultaneously, with room-grouping available for entertaining.

Lighting and Curtain Control

The main open-plan living room and kitchen have Crestron lighting control with scene recall from in-wall keypads or iPad. Curtain control is integrated into the same interface. The brief was to distribute HD audio and video to two bedrooms and two living rooms as discreetly as possible without any quality compromise — and to keep everything controllable from an iPad. The system delivered on that brief while staying within the original budget.

Mayfair — Discreet Technology in a Prime London Address

Mayfair apartments typically have interiors designed to a standard that technology must not visually compromise. Plastered-in ceiling speakers, centralised AV racks hidden from view and a single iPad interface rather than a wall of remotes — these are the elements that allow Custom Controls to deliver high-performance AV in W1 addresses without altering what the room looks like.
