Hey everyone, another busy week to look forward to. We’ve got a big AV install on the cards plus plenty of other trips around the UK….
The idea is to give you an insight into our working week here at Fanthorpes HiFi. With what demonstrations we are doing in store and in customers’ homes, services we offer, as well as give you an insight into the distances we travel over a working week.
As always, if we’re in your area and want to listen to something, let us know and to see if we can pop round and see you.
Hope you enjoy the read…
Monday 17th June
We start the week off with a trip up to North Yorkshire to install a fantastic AV set up. We will be installing the Arcam AVR550 Receiver on a full KEF R Series surround package. This is a system we are sure our customer will love.
For those that didn’t know to get the best performance from the AVR550, it requires a full DIRAC set up. The overall aim on a Dirac install is to reach the situation where all speakers are working together to create a `sound field` around you, correctly recreating the movies sound effects while not making themselves noticeable.
Our fully trained installer can use DIRAC to allow this using a high quality specially calibrated microphone and the intelligent room analysis software linked to the new range of Arcam receivers. Full frequency sounds are passed into each speaker one at a time, in up to 9 positions in your room which are then picked up by the microphone and loaded into the software.
This creates accurate waveform graphs of your own rooms actual effect on your systems sound output. By using the DIRAC software, we can adjust these waveforms to more closely match the original movies own soundtrack.
The overall effect of this provides a clean, detailed sound where no one speaker is directly noticeable, and your attention is focused only on the movie.
We are also running a trade in promotion against the Arcam AV Receiver range, allowing you to save up to £1000. Click here for more info.
