Managing Rack Placements
  
     
   The main equipment racks for the house were located just around the corner in an unused hall closet, which backed up to the entertainment cabinets in the family room. This allowed us to pass cables back and only locate the equipment the client needed to get to in the Family Room, while keeping the automation gear and whole house amplifiers out of the way.
    This also allowed for easy service since both racks pull out completely. We also located the cable, phone and network main in the same closet to facilitate future capabilities.
    We already control thirty-five light sets throughout the home and have two other smaller media areas in the Master Bedroom and Family Room. They each have a Panja Viewpoint Radio Frequency touch-panel to make control easy and the same as in the Theater.
    In addition to that, we have Panja DMS keypads throughout other rooms in the house for whole house system control.
   
   
     
       

 

 

A Room Full of Surprises
This hidden door leads to a small room built for VCR, DVD, and CD. Now that's thinking!
