Marmitek, specialists in the field of X-10 home automation, has introduced the CM15Pro computer interface, which along with the supplied ActiveHomePro software enables you to control and operate affordable home automation on your computer.

Marmitek brings comfort and safety to your home in an innovative manner, using the very latest techniques in the field of multimedia, video surveillance, home automation and security:

Once your settings are programmed in your computer, you can save them in the memory of the CM15Pro and it can be turned off:

• Your lighting and appliances are easily switched on and off with the CM15Pro and appropriate receivers.

The choice of settings is limited only by your imagination – random switching of your lighting, create a home movie theatre, control your exterior lighting, or have your coffee ready when you wake.
 
Using macros you can programme your preferred environment e.g. the main lighting in the living room only switches on when someone enters the room, its dark outside and the atmospheric lighting is off.
 
Furthermore the CM15Pro has more extended programming possibilities and a memory for about 1400 macros/timers, with which you can expand your home automation almost without limitation.

• The mutual compatibility of Marmitek products is one of the main benefits, allowing you to construct your own ideal system, adding the latest user options at any time in the future.

The recommended retail price for the pioneering CM15Pro (Computer module + ActiveHomePro Software) is £59.95 incl. VAT.

Steinway & Sons, creators of the world’s finest pianos, and Peter Lyngdorf, Europe’s pre-eminent developer and manufacturer of high performance digital sound systems, have collaborated to produce the Model D Music System, the world’s best fully-integrated digital sound system.

A team of international designers, technicians and engineers led by Peter Lyngdorf, created the Steinway & Sons Model D Music System, which has taken over 2 years to develop and delivers an outstanding reproduction of music akin to a live symphony orchestra in concert.

The music system is the culmination of painstaking research and development in both electronics and in the acoustic performance of amplifiers and loudspeakers; all components being carefully selected and designed from the outset to complement each other perfectly:

• It incorporates the revolutionary Room Perfect™ technology, which enables the system to adapt to the acoustic characteristics of the listening environment, to ensure unsurpassed audio performance.
• The home entertainment system’s twin speakers are painstakingly crafted through more than 170 hours of precision machining, and the entire system takes approximately 7 weeks to assemble.
• The system has distinctive luxury design details, including the Steinway & Sons lacquering found on the world’s finest pianos.
• At the time of installation, a Steinway Lyngdorf service specialist will visit the customer’s site, to make the most of the RoomPerfect™ technology and “voice” the Model D System.
• This is done by mapping the acoustics of the given environment using a microphone. After the measurements have been uploaded, the system calculates a room correction that is applied to ensure perfect tonal balance and acoustics in any part of the listening space.

The Steinway Lyngdorf Model D Music System is priced at £75,000 +VAT, which includes installation and individual voicing, but not custom wiring and integration into other AV systems.
