Crestron Prodigy Automation - Marietta, Ga.

This client contacted us through our website to complete a home audio and video system prewired in their home during construction. They had a desire for 8 rooms of whole house audio and a family room surround sound system. ETI provided this functionality through a Crestron Prodigy system. ETI specified all nine rooms to have Monitor Audio speakers. Both the kitchen and Master bedroom were fitted with a 4” in-wall touchscreen for control of a docked IPod provided by ETI, client’s CD player, DirecTV satellite system, and an ETI provided Blu-Ray DVD player. Secondary rooms were outfitted with simple in wall keypads for basic system functions. A 2-way RF remote for the Family Room allows the client to search their iPod playlists right on its 3” screen. Future upgrades for the system include lighting and HVAC controls. Below is a list of audio/video components that ETI provided for each room.
