March 2018 - Holiday Shores Condo upgrade, originally built in 2000, the above fireplace space was always designed for first generation rear projection TV's that could accommodate a 48" diagonal Mitsubishi or Toshiba. The closet around the entry side was 19" wide, barely accommodating audio & video support, not much cooling, very little room left for coat closet tasks. I added an articulating, cantilever mount with 28" extension, 55" Samsung 4K QLED that optimally filled available space, a low profile Marantz AVR, Dish DVR, subwoofer in back of the TV cavity and a 55" active Episode 3 Channel SoundBar affixed to top of television, surrounds in back are Polk's that feature 3 different ways of mounting, vertical, horizontal or corner. 5.1 Channel system.

Most recent owner retrofitted fireplace insert and custom covey hole to accommodate a 65" LG flat panel TV and soundbar. House originally pre-wired for 4 channel in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. Tough retrofit cables to accommodate cable, satellite AVR applications in restricted fireplace insert. Opted for Smart TV with Networking Apps and a Denon Heos Soundbar/Sub combo (with original hardware and finished framing). Heos Soundbar sits directly below TV (wide black rectangle appears exact width of lower cutout, with Cable Box sitting below that, subwoofer in lower left hand corner on floor next to fireplace. AFTER / BEFORE. Client supplied 65" TV, original mount, Denon Heos Soundbar/Sub combo ($800) and installation total $1040

 

OCTOBER 2017 -  60" LED TV & Soundbar, client purchased home on Twin Lakes Golf Course, original mount was for an older plasma monitor with component video & analog audio. Very heavy duty articulating cantilever mount. Original cabling pre-dated HDMI (2006), having to retrofit HDMI cables through back of fireplace insert to Sat Box & Blu-Ray (HDMI Switch). Installed Soundbar/Sub as well, $300 installation with HDMI retrofit.

OCTOBER 2017 -  installation, WesternstatesCAT, Hayden, ID supplied a 65" LG 4K TV with wireless networking for in-store advertising display. using the Wireless Network www. application. Articulating, cantilever mount and steel stud wall construction. 33.6" TV height accommodated withing 34 3/4" total space. $250 installation cost, $20 for custom installation hardware, Total $270

Client had a Sony 4K, Klipsch Soundbar, Blu-Ray, Dish Sat, Apple TV Box and wireless sub. Since it was in hallway, recommended a low profile mount and small, flexible HDMI cables 4K, high speed rated. Total for low profile mount, recesssed AC box for TV and soundbar, HDMI cables, install, programming TV smart apps and customer tutorial $730.

Client moved up from Tucson to Hauser with $45,000 worth of 8 year old, high end, A/V gear. Wants to use all of it. Started with 50 Panasonic Plasma, on 24" extended articulating, cantilever mount, Definitive Technology Mythos 6 with custom made, side wall brackets, fabricated a center channel mount from same. Allowed for 1/2" od clearance in alcove next to Fireplace Insert, Denon AVR, Blu-Ray, Roku, Def Tech Sub, etc. All this so the speakers and video display were flush with front of adjoining walls. Retrofit Sonance VP62SUR/SST for rear In-Ceiling surrounds

Same client wanted a 5.1 retrofit downstairs with existing components, Toshiba LED, Yamaha AVR, Denon DVD, Direct TV, Def Tech Mythos 6 and Sub, Sonance VP62SUR/SST In-Ceiling Surrounds. Dealing with a stairwell behind TV, several blocks in pathway created a labor intensive retrofit of power, speaker cables, HDMI cables, digital fiber optic, and overhead rear surround speakers. Eventual success!

 

New client moved up from Texas and brought LG TV's with them. used a single arm articulating, cantilever mount, extension 31" with Current Audio Soundbar & Wireless Sub. The Tv can be pulled out and rotated virtually anywhere in room for optimum viewing. Soundbar mounted to bottom of TV. All power, sat cable, HDMI's concealed in wall.

Below, 55" LG on Dual Arm, Articulating Cantilever Mount with 24" Extension, 2 HDMI Cable, 16" Wide Motorola Time Warner Cable Box, Surge Protector & Blu-Ray. Mount, Hardware, HDMI Cable, Surge Protector & Install Materials including 90 degree F-Connectors and coaxial cable routing and labor $695

Recently, one of the more challenging CCTV Surveillance installations, required a 20 mile Rural Broadband Network Signal from Schweitzer Mountain, across Lake Pend Oreille to the Hope Peninsula. Not much of a task, however there is a Boat House involved with a wireless point to point transceiver antenna, as well as another signal beamed from the 'Host' (a Casita high enough to avoid Lake reflections), beaming a network signal to the Main Residence on the Lake.

                     

Above antenna receiving signal from Schweitzer Mountain for Internet, other 2 each smaller transceivers synced with Boathouse Camera and also supplies Internet to Main Residence across street at Lake Level. All of this is remote monitored and supports PC or Smart Phone Apps. THE PTZ camera features auto Smart Tracking with 390' of IR (night view) FYI, cost $6500 with 8 Channel NVR, room for future upgrades.

 

 

            

Most recent upgrade, replaced a 10 year old outdated Elan 6 Zone, 6 Source system with a RUSSOUND MCA-66. 6 Zone, 6 Source system, can be used with or without keypads. Awesome Smart Apps for iOS & Android Tablet or Smart Phone, and easy change over. 

More Smart App Multi-Zone Applications. Sometimes a control cable just isn't installed and you want to see meta data or use Smart Apps on Phone or Tablet?

Client inquired about an audio upgrade. Electrical contractor ran 4 zones of speaker cable in a remodel, no control cables, no volume control location. Head end was place in absolute worse case scenario, in kitchen above refrigerator. You want to adjust your outside or Great Room speakers with a volume control speaker selector above fridge? I suggested a Heos Drive that all 4 rooms can select source, and separate volume control through network based application.One simple component is controlling multiple audio applications, iTunes content and a multitude of options. This was kitchen, Great Room, Patio, Office & Dining Room audio upgrade.

Below is a recently installed Samsung 60" Smart TV, and a Peerless Low Profile Mount with a Bose Soundbar system in Coeur d'Alene.

 

DON'T DIY ! WARNING - Below is a Home Advisor referral and a good reason for a consultation prior to purchasing new equipment.

What Our Customers Are Saying...

            

"Dan did a total retrofit of what was in the town home at the 'White Box' stage. We used none of the audio wiring that was done at the earlier construction. Dan also set our eight TV's along with our total house intercom/sound system with speakers in all six bedrooms, the library, the living room, and the theater room. He set our outside security cameras and our Direct TV Satellite system coordinated with the Northland cable system. He has also come back later to trouble shoot various systems along with adding a Sirius Satellite system. Of course we are also setup with Internet, but that is pretty much Northland Wireless. We do recommend Dan for audio/visual work" - Eric R. & Lois H.in Sandpoint, ID 7/23/2013

"Was one third the price of other companies that bid for the job of pre-wiring new construction house for TV, stereo speakers, and internet service. Installed extra cables for future expansion at no additional cost. Received more than what was bid on the job" - Terry W in Coeur d'Alene, ID                       9/05/2012

"Dan Christians provided and installed sound systems in both my daughter’s condominium in downtown Sandpoint and in our home near Sandpoint.  While we are not very knowledgeable about the technology, systems, and  products available today, we did have pretty definite ideas about desired sound quality, functionality, and aesthetics.  Dan listened carefully, researched available products, and put together systems that matched and exceeded our requirements. Installation was also done quite professionally.  All of this was done expeditiously and at very reasonable prices.  For people like us in North Idaho, Dan is your man."- C. H. Sandpoint, ID

“Excellent service, I would highly recommend! Fast, efficient, far exceeded my expectations. Thank You! ”
- RY, Sandpoint, ID

"Dan stepped up to inherit a job with the wiring and set up of the Man Room home theater which was sabotaged due to my ignorance and a lazy electrician when I built my home. That said Mr. Christians embraced this job like a professional . Before he was on the job he communicated at least a dozen times to optimize the strategies success with all of the new components.He was challenged buy multiple problems with regards to the wiring configuration and a conduit which was slightly thicker than a straw. When confronted with a new universal remote control he stepped back then returned to conquer a few days after his first service call. No up sell, professional at all times. I trusted him with this job and he got my project into the end zone. Thank you Audio Plus!!"                                                   - Dr Eric Chun, Coeur d'Alene, ID

"Dan did a wonderful job on a complex home theater installation for me! He provided expert installation and system calibration along with product recommendations. Dan is very honest and dependable, my wife and I couldn't be happier with our new system!"               - CR, Kootenai, ID
