Projects

Modern Masterpiece: Most of the decisions in this modern, sustainable residence were made as much for their physical appearance as they were for their function. We were able to design a system that was part localized systems, part centralized systems, that functions as one cohesive unit. We integrated Lighting, HVAC and Audio/Video Systems throughout the main residence and outdoors. Key features include an “invisible” master suite theater, 2-additional 5.1 surround sound viewing areas with 60” displays, Kaleidescape entertainment server and distributed audio with in-pool aquasonic sound.; View photos

Drop-Down Gorgeous: This eclectic modern home features some of the best in electronics integration. Lutron lighting control, audio/video, security and HVAC are integrated into one easy to use system. AMX touch panels running Cinetouch software provide the ultimate in user interface simplicity, flexibility and stability. A 60” display drops from the ceiling on a custom Future Automation lift. Audio is provided by Sonance and Bang & Olufsen speakers driven by Bryston electronics. A Kaleidescape entertainment server provides access to a full library of movies.; View photos

Now You See It…: Elegant simplicity was the goal for this custom home. A sleek Artcoustic Loudspeakers 5.1 system and 60” display provide the primary viewing and listening in the great room. A 6-zone distributed audio system sends their favorite music throughout the interior and exterior living spaces. All speakers and displays blend seamlessly with the interior design of each space. The favorite feature for the man of the house is a 19” Seura TV mirror for the master bath.; View photos

Up & Down Tech-trofit: Designer friendly products like Artcoustic Loudspeakers were utilized to provide a beautiful aesthetic and fantastic performance for two remodeled rooms in this residence. Downstairs is a 42” display and 4.1 surround sound system for everyday viewing. Upstairs what was once a spare guest bedroom has been transformed to a near reference level media room, complete with 60” display, 5.1 surround sound, LED accent lights and Vantage lighting controls.; View photos

Cutting-Edge Classic: This residence incorporates a full range of integrated technologies in nearly every room. The centerpiece is a 7.2 surround sound system by Artcoustic paired with a 65” display for a truly amazing viewing experience. A 5.2 surround system by Cabasse with 60” display provides a break from work in the home office. A smaller Cabasse 5.1 system and 46” display provide a great experience in the master suite. Other features include whole house lighting and HVAC controls, 12-zones of distributed audio, as well as 11-zones of distributed high definition video.; View photos

Lofty Ideas: A surface mounted 50” display and Artcoustic 5.1 surround sound system provide viewing and listening in this trendy loft apartment. A second zone of audio covers the kitchen, dining and office areas, while two smaller LCD displays provide viewing in the office and master suite.; View photos

Case Tech: A traditional entertainment center with exceptional performance helped transform this basement into the main viewing area in the residence. A 5.1 Artcoustic Loudspeaker surround sound system and 50” display are the vehicles that deliver high quality sound for DIRECTV, Blu-ray and gaming systems all concealed inside the cabinet.; View photos

Spherical Surround: Family entertainment was the purpose for the media room in this residence and ForresterTech provided the solution. 5.1 surround sound is provided by Cabasse loudspeakers, driven by B&K Components electronics and amplifiers. Wall jacks and a mix board were provided for this musical family to plug in their instruments for an impromptu jam session. Additional jacks provide plug-in access to the game system of their choice. Also available for viewing are DIRECTV, a Blu-ray player and an AppleTV.; View photos

LR/MBR Redo: As the interiors of this home were remodeled, the homeowners decided to upgrade their audio and video systems as well. Due to the arrangement of the home and the interior design changes, a sleek solution was required for these systems. A 50” display and integrated LCR speaker was installed between a pair of windows. Low profile rear speakers and a subwoofer were also installed to complete the 5.1 system. A smaller TV was concealed in a custom cabinet in the master suite.; View photos

Photos In Stereo: Artcoustic Loudspeakers with some of the homeowners favorite photos printed on custom art screens and a 50” display provide enhance the decor, as well as provide superior viewing and listening in the family room.; View photos

“Floating” Plasma w/ Surround: The technology retrofit in this existing residence presented some unique installation challenges. We were able to install a 42” display on an articulating arm with a display mounted Artcoustic LCR speaker, rear surrounds and a hidden subwoofer that look like they were part of the original home, all without any attic or crawl space to work in. A 6-zone distributed audio system was also added for music throughout the interior and exterior spaces.; View photos

OakStar Bank: The technology systems installed by ForresterTech for this new bank are top notch. A SoftdB sound masking system provides background music, paging, and added privacy for customers and workers on all three levels of the bank. A network of displays in the lobby and waiting areas provide digital signage and television viewing. The executive conference room features a 52” display for computer presentations via connection at the table, DVD or television. The training room features a 120” electric drop screen, projector and audio system for computer or DVD presentations.; View photos

Deep: We received a local advertising agency’s request for hi-tech conference rooms and an impactful piece that would greet visiting clients while showcasing the company’s work. Both conference rooms were equipped with plasma screens and sound systems that are computer compatible and controlled by universal remote. A stainless steel waterfall, complete with a portrait-mounted plasma screen and the company’s logo laser-etched into the steel, displays the agency’s work in the lobby while water passes over top of the screen for a decorative effect.; View photos

Foth Lobby: Clean lines and distinctive design are highlighted in this “flat cinema” concept. During regular television viewing, a plasma screen is flanked by two Artcoustic loudspeakers and a center channel below. For movie or special event viewing, an acoustically transparent, THX and iSF certified screen drops from above for a true theater experience.; View photos

Hometown Bank: The headquarters of this multi-branch bank includes a variety of integrated technologies. A digital signage network by Magic Box was installed so that new signage and messaging can be designed in one location and distributed to all branches. Three floors of distributed audio allow independent control over the music by floor, as well as in the executive offices and conference rooms. The executive board room contains a 120” electric drop screen, projector and audio system for presentations and training.; View photos

The Marlin Company: This local advertising agency was looking for a way to update their technology used for making client presentations. A plasma screen flanked by Artcoustic loudspeakers was installed in the main conference room; a plasma screen on an articulating mount was installed in the secondary conference room. Both displays are computer compatible and controlled by a touch screen remote. A mounted plasma screen in the lobby can be used to showcase the company’s work, to display welcome messages for visiting clients, or to display television.; View photos
