Installation of the Month | JULY 2025 | James-Morrow Entertainment Systems LTd
THIS MONTH’S WINNER DELIVERS A POWERFUL YET NEARLY INVISIBLE SOUND SOLUTION
Congratulations to Ewan and the team at James-Morrow Entertainment Systems Ltd for winning our July Installation of the Month!
The client was in the process of renovating a beautiful period room that had previously seen limited use. Their goal was to transform it into an elegant and comfortable lounge space - while integrating a television and a sound system as discreetly as possible.
To achieve this, James-Morrow designed a 5.2 surround system using an SL Multi Soundbar for the front LCR channels, two colour-matched Sub 2s carefully placed in the room, and a pair of C-1 Soundbars, colour-matched to the wall/ceiling to serve as surround speakers.
The result is a powerful yet nearly invisible sound solution that preserves the room’s classic aesthetic. From the tailored placement of equipment to the thoughtful colour matching, this installation is a brilliant example of how performance and design can coexist seamlessly.
Special thanks to Rebecca from Acanthus Interiors, who collaborated on the interior design to bring this luxurious lounge to life.
When asked which part of Artcoustic’s design support proved most valuable, the team at James-Morrow highlighted the detailed room analysis, the proposal walkthrough video and the Artcoustic on-site calibration service.
The team at James-Morrow Entertainment Systems Limited:
"WE WERE EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE PROJECT, PARTICULARLY THE COLOUR MATCHING OF THE SUBWOOFERS AND REAR SPEAKERS. THE SYSTEM IS INTUITIVE TO USE, AND WITH THE ADDITION OF THE CALIBRATION SERVICE, ITS PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL."
The Client:
"WE HAVE RECENTLY REPURPOSED ONE OF OUR ROOMS FROM A DINING ROOM TO A LIVING ROOM. WE SETTLED ON INSTALLING ARTCOUSTIC SPEAKERS AND SUBS AND THESE HAVE TRULY BEEN AMAZING. WHEN COMPARED WITH OUR OTHER SETUP, THIS SYSTEM IS FAR MORE NUANCED IN ITS OUTPUT.
