Upgrading a 20 year old audio/video system in St. Pete

Chip Tollefson • May 15, 2020

Our client in St. Pete loves their new home theater upgrade with a new Yamaha receiver, URC remote, and the space created by removing half of their Middle Atlantic rack system to free up needed storage space.


Watch our video to learn more.

Recent project.- the client purchased a home with an outdated system that was non-functional, was run by a Niles Intellicontrol system (haven't programmed one of those in about 15 years), and nothing functioned correctly.

1."Before"- all equipment was outdated, non-functional, and non-accessible
2. Remove existing legacy equipment
3. Old equipment and antiquated wiring on the floor
4. (2) slide-out Middle Atlantic equipment racks worth of equipment consolidated to one rack, removed and relocated down to the lower cabinet area, better wire management
5. Picture of the wire management taken from behind
6. Final- "Antiquated" equipment now updated to 4k specs, relocated to a functional height, with a current/functional radio-frequency control system

This project was completed in about 9 hours.
