Dedicated home cinema room

We design and install one-off premium home theatre's and cinema's. Each installation is unique and designed to perfectly to your needs. We draw on our long experience to make ensure the room meets your exacting demands and from a technology point of view - Master AV services will source the best hardware available for your budget and then ensure it is delivering the best possible experience by setting it up properly. We also put a lot of effort in to the aesthetics and feel of the room  we work l with our interior decorators -  To create a dedicated space where you can unwind or create a sense of a real  serious home cinema experience. 

Kaleidescape DVD & Music Servers

Kaleidescape DVD servers add a sense of luxury to any home cinema lucky enough to contain one. The unique interface makes people realise they are about to experience something special before the film has even started! The servers are expandable and there is virtually no limit to the number of films it can hold. The Kaleidescape 1080 Movie Player takes your existing DVD's and scales them up to high definition - allowing you to enjoy your movies in a way you haven't been able to before.

Bowers & Wilkins Custom Theater 800 & Classé Amplifiers

Bowers & WIlkins CT800 in the Ultimate Home Cinema

The perfect partner for the Kaleidescape DVD server is a Bowers & Wilkins Custom Theater 800 speaker installation. Powered by Classé amplifiers this system will be the best you have ever heard. The system takes home theatre to a completely different level - elements such as multiple subwoofers allow us to steer bass around the room - this ensures an extremely life like sound quality and brings films to life like never before.

Cineak Theatre Seating & Acoustic Treatments

The perfect home theatre needs to have extremely comfortable seats - the whole experience can be ruined by uncomfortable seating. The Cineak range is impressive and spans day beds to electronic reclining chairs ensuring there is a comfortable option for all. One of our clients likened his new seating to first class airline seating. The range of fabrics and finishes allows us to tie the seating in to the overall feel and mood of the room and things like cup holders and foot rests can provide the finishing touches. Cineak Acoustic panels allow us to enhance the acoustic qualities of the room easily and, again, due to the huge variety of fabrics and colours they can tie in with the overall room design.

Marantz NR1403 AV reciver

Marantz says some people just don’t want a big boxe filling up their living room and they're correct They're usually called 'the wife so they've created a slim design AV Receiver line that they promise packs the same punch as its bigger brothers in the new £549.90 NR1603 and £349.90 NR1403 AVR's

As a five-channel slim-line AV receiver, the NR1403 offers a host of connectivity options including a front panel HDMI input for easy and instant video and music enjoyment. The 250W output can be used for a simple stereo set-up but is also powerful enough to run a full 5.1 system. In addition, the NR1403 has separate on-board decoders for both standard and high-definition audio such as DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD, while its total of six HDMI inputs (one at the front) should keep most happy.




The seven-channel NR1603 offers even more intelligent features, making it a slightly more grown-up AV hub. It hosts a variety of networking facilities for audio streaming, Internet radio, AirPlay from your iPhone, iPad or iPod, as well as incorporating an iPod-digital-compatible USB input and an M-DAX2 to get the most out of compressed audio. There's a new (and obligatory) Marantz Remote App for iDevices available too.

The six HDMI inputs all support 3D video and ARC (Audio Return Channel) from ARC-compatible TV sets, while all analogue video signals can be scaled up to 1080p.

The NR1603 and NR1403 are available now in black and silver-gold.

Onyo high receiver's

Onkyo have announced the release of three new models at the top of its A/V receiver line for 2012, including a new nine-channel flagship, the TX-NR5010 Network A/V Receiver; a more affordable nine-channel alternative, the TX-NR3010 Network A/V Receiver; and lastly, a seven-channel solution, the TX-NR1010 Network A/V Receiver.

Onkyo have been busy in R&D and the fruit of the investment, says Onkyo, is evident in these three new releases, with an across-the-board focus on high performance technology:


• THX Ultra2 Plus certification to recreate the cinematic experience with dynamic Reference Level sound in larger home cinemas (up to 85 cubic meters in size and at a viewing distance of approximately 3.5 metres).

• 11.4-channel pre-outs with DTS Neo:X 11-channel upmixing support on both the TX-NR5010 and TX-NR3010, another world first for Onkyo.

• First consumer electronics partner to incorporate Cisco Linksys' SimpleTap router connection technology.

• Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room equalization with multi-channel upmixing from DTS Neo:X, Audyssey DSX, and Dolby Pro Logic IIz.

• An additional HDMI output to enable 1080p playback on a second TV or zone.

• Front-panel Mobile High-Definition Link HDMI port for phone/camcorder.

• Extra HDMI inputs to support 3D Video plus Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio (8+1 inputs on all three models).

• InstaPrevue picture-in-picture video input preview and selection technology.

• Bluetooth 3.0 and aptX wireless audio streaming via optional adapter.

There's access to both free and subscription audio streaming services, such as Spotify Premium, and connectivity for smartphones, tablets, and PC via DLNA or Bluetooth.
Because of the importance of 'superior usability' in the connected home, Onkyo has been working with Cisco to incorporate SimpleTap, a technology that is said to deliver better connectivity and control experiences. With its inclusion in these three high-end receivers (via firmware update in October/November for European models), Onkyo becomes the world's first company to integrate SimpleTap technology into consumer electronics products. Further firmware updates are under development eventually to enable all 2012 Onkyo Network-enabled receivers to take advantage of this new technology.

"We share the vision that the connected home should be simple and enjoyable, and we are proud to be the first consumer electronics partner to incorporate Cisco Linksys' SimpleTap technology into our new AV receivers," said Nobuaki Okuda, president, Onkyo Sound & Vision Corporation. "SimpleTap really simplifies how our new 2012 AV receivers can be connected to the network, so people can instantly enjoy their favorite tunes from music streaming services such as Spotify Premium, and many other Internet Radio services."

Multi-room operation has also been enhanced by adding Zone2 HDMI connectivity, so removing the need for a secondary analogue connection in order to access audio in a second zone. Powered audio is available in up to three zones simultaneously - with multi-zone playback and setting controls managed by remote iPhone/Android apps.

To conjure up the 'signature Onkyo sound', audio signals are passed through a DAC stage, with PLL jitter-cleaning, VLSC noise-mitigation, and TI Burr-Brown DAC modules Signals are then amplified through discrete Three-Stage Inverted Darlington Circuitry, with a triple transistor array that is designed to cut distortion and boost current flow to the speakers. The design is supposed to capitalise on the benefits offered by a low negative feedback topology.

All three models feature Onkyo’s Dual Core Video Engine which pairs the HQV Vida VHD1900 module with Marvell’s Qdeo technology for scaling to 4K. The onboard ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) video calibration can only help.

The flagship TX-NR5010 is aimed squarely at the avid home cinema enthusiast. As part of the THX certification promise, this receiver is designed to deliver the highest audio and video quality for an 'unsurpassed home cinema experience' right out of the box. Housed in a rigid chassis with separate anti-resonant aluminum top and side panels, the unit has a massive toroidal transformer supported by two discrete transformers for audio and video processing.

Like its slightly more powerful sibling, the TX-NR3010 also boasts multiple transformers for A/V processing, but features a heavy-duty EI transformer in place of the TX-NR5010's toroidal type. All models feature isolated power and preamp blocks to reduce interference with a super-rigid chassis to prevent vibration.

A new Differential DAC Mode and Digital Crossover Processing Network are also included on all three models to optimise performance when bi-wiring and bi-amping the front channels.

All three models boast an exhaustive list of A/V connections. In addition to the capacity to link with an iPhone, iPod, or flash memory device, these models include two USB ports in the front and rear to accommodate the UWF-1 Wireless LAN Adapter and UBT-1 Bluetooth USB Adapter (sold separately).
