" Andrew Gillis is with us now he's a friend of the homeowners and he is an expert on the latest in. Audiovisual equipment and we need your help -- Now what what did they choose this is a Bose system right right this is the have both so lifestyle whole home audio system meaning it basically does surround sound down here in this room for the for the television and then it also has zones throughout the house that. Do audio. For the for the different rooms so that we've got the capability of putting different. Sounds different music selections in different parts of the house and even though. This is a small house it's still it's now four levels I think and as icing get all over the place that is that. Achieved wirelessly. Well some of them the sum of the parts of Ross if there is a wireless zone. DP you can put anywhere in the house we get music and then there's also are fixed zones in in the kitchen and then outside in the in in the garden. And there's or Morocco a wireless remote for each one of those what is this thing that we're looking at right here. Palaces this sort of the core of the of the whole system here this is this is where all the music is stored and we sort of configure the system. And all of the other remotes actually you know use this system to to send audio to the -- is its way to -- what I think of as a tuner and then a dvd player and a CD player and -- sort of again this is actually all of those things in anything in one you can actually take all of your CD library and and stored in the system and so have access to it and -- yeah -- Ricardo our homeowners a musician and I understand he has. Over 300 CD's here in the house. How many can you can you burn out yes missiles 340 -- wow so you can take three unity here and then. Did the system I you can actually set up -- sort of -- music libraries for each person in the home and as they listen to music and they pick which songs they like and which ones they don't the system actually adapt to them and help them find songs that they like automatically. Sexual and setting up here have set up some zones. They got holiday mix right now which you've got one. Zone for the kids and one for the husband and one for the wife."
" this this is there -- Panel for all of our of our AV equipment. This -- they have the president go that would with the with the Bose media center. To Bose media center has multiple components and weren't connecting them all of this that is Bose interconnect cable. And this is the the hub right here. Did you learn in his -- credentialed for the cavaliers finished. It's it's. Close -- Speeches here. These these are actually very little -- in the ground. That allows you to have to have a sound that fills the yard but not concede."
" What's this all cost. I believe this system this is about 5000 dollars -- for all of the different rooms in the house that's mostly just for for the base I think the other rooms are extra okay. And did it is that what other pieces of equipment are involved in the whole thing. I it's it's pretty much just this system here there's there's also an amplifier that that works -- she into the system that the speakers upstairs to -- this this open. Yeah this is that you can actually put -- put a dvd in here if you want to watch on the screen here. But but yeah -- mostly the system this is controlled with the with a remote control even when you're outdoors. Yeah all of Bose remotes are radio so you you don't have to community rooms and you can be anywhere and now what we're okay. And then what about that this is the main place where the action takes faces prison where they're getting the big. The big screen TV. Will this also provide them with a surround sound capability yeah this has stuff five point one channel surround sound. Has increased mass module on the floor here and tiny speakers front and back. And what what does the adapt IQ do for -- on the list this system actually can be adapted. To -- to the room a lot of high end homes have have these custom audio systems that to have you have to have -- engineer come in and actually tune the system to your house to lead to the conditions of the room right because of course of the rooms are different and people sit different places and so this system you you actually put on these these little headset and walk around the room and it will it will tune the system."
" It's not a -- when -- so once they have the furniture arranged and this is not a huge room it's it's are kind of a rectangular roommates twice as long as it is deep. The ceilings are low there's acoustical walls and area everything is an unusual. Space so once they've. -- laid out their furniture and such thing and use those to perfectly balance the system."
" Yeah you only have to do once it takes about ten minutes and then once it's tuned to that that room you'll you always get really good sound no matter -- now what's going on sounds like Kevin thanks."
