Flatscreen Installation – Retrofit of 1915 House

Older home retro fit TV installationThis TV installation took place at an old house in downtown Austin. Even though it was renovated in the 90′s there were challenges to overcome. Under the living room drywall there was 3/4″ plywood that constituted it’s original walls. With some patience and a lot of care we were able to install our Datacomm wall outlet that allows for electrical and audio-visual cables to pass through the wall totally concealed. In the end the installation was as unobtrusive as possible.

HDTV Flatscreen Installation – Articulating mount

More flatscreens! Catamount installed two articulating cantilever mounted plasma HDTV’s in a home in Austin. The clients were very serious about the installation being as neat as possible. Both displays were older Dell plasmas and thus on the heavier side. But with the proper flatpanel installation technics these displays now hang securely. Enclosed are photos of this installation with comment from the satisfied customer. Also pictured is cable management via a Datacomm Electrical and AV wall outlet

Outstanding experience with superior results. We were impressed with the professionalism, and quality of the work performed by Catamount. I highly recommend them. Bob V., Austin TX

Surround Sound Speaker Installation – Bose Acoustamass

Catamount recently installed a Bose Acoustamass Surround Sound Speaker System in a private residence. In addition we installed outdoor speakers on the patio as well as two pairs of stereo speakers in separate bedrooms. The clients were very pleased with the work done and offered this:

I called Catamount to install speakers for a whole house audio system. Andrew was very professional. He not only returned my phone call promptly but he also worked on my speaker install on a Sunday to accomodate my day off. I had already been quoted a high price by the big chain store and Andrew was able to do it all for a lot less then what the big name company was offering. The service was quality work, very professional and definitely budget friendly. Andrew is very informative and helpful when you have questions about your new system he even cleaned up when his job was done. This is a top notch service at a great price and not to mention you are supporting the local economy! I will be calling Andrew at Catamount again for future services.

LCD projector installation – Media room

Purple Room Projector
The Purple Room Catamount recently completed a media room LCD projector installation in fabulous purple colored room. The projector was an Epson EX31. The mount is a Peerless PRS-UNV which as universal mount that can be used on any projector. Because the ceiling was high we also included a Peerless EXT-101 12″ extension pipe so that the image could be projected with minimal keystone adjustment.

Input Plate
An audio visual input plate was installed in the front of the room so that in the future the client will be able to hook up their Wii and have it projected on the Elite MX80 screen.

Universal Remote Control by Nevo

nevo Catamount is excited about Universal Remote Controls from Nevo. Today we focus on the C3 (pictured at left). It features a 2.2″ LCD touchscreen that enables you to control up to 18 different devices.

With these remotes complex tasks can be programmed into a single button push! You can do away with juggling remotes and use a single universal controller.

This reasonable priced universal smart remote operates in both IR and RF modes.
What does that mean for you? With RF (radio frequency) your components do not have to be in a visual line-of-site with the remote. You can hide your Cable box, Bluray, DVD etc. away in a cabinet or even in a another room and you will retain full push-button control.
