Audio Visual
Sound and picture so good, you’ll forget it’s technology.
Your home deserves to sound as good as it looks
Most people don’t realise how much a poorly designed AV system costs them, not in money, but in the experience. The faint hum during a quiet scene. The speaker that doesn’t quite reach the far end of the room. The remote that controls three things but not the fourth.
It’s these kinds of things you learn to live with, even though you shouldn’t have to.
At Astra Lumos, we design and install audio-visual systems that feel like they were always meant to be there. The picture is vivid and sharp. The sound is rich and even. And everything works together in a way that feels completely natural, because we’ve made sure it does.
About our audio visual solutions
If you’ve ever sat in a properly designed home cinema, where the sound wraps around you and the image fills your vision without strain, you’ll know it’s a very different experience to watching a screen propped on a cabinet.
We design dedicated cinema rooms from the ground up, specifying everything from acoustic treatment and seating to screen size, projector placement and lighting, so every element works together to give you the best possible picture and sound.
Beyond the cinema room, we design multi-room audio systems that let you enjoy your music anywhere in your home, indoors or out. Whether it’s the kitchen, the terrace or the pool area, your music follows you at the quality it deserves, with speakers that blend into your décor, rather than competing with it.
We’ll also work closely with your interior designer or architect to make sure nothing disrupts the look of your home. And because great AV doesn’t exist in isolation, we integrate everything with your lighting and smart home automation system, so when you press play, the lights dim, the blinds close, and the sound begins, all without touching a second device.
The brands behind your AV experience
The technology we specify matters as much as the way we design and install it. We partner with a small number of brands we trust completely. We choose these because they consistently deliver the performance and reliability our clients expect. Each one brings something distinct to a project, and part of our job is knowing which system suits your home, your lifestyle and your ambitions best.
Rako
Rako’s wireless architecture makes it an excellent choice for retrofit projects, where running new cabling throughout your home isn’t practical. It gives you precise, flexible control over individual lights or entire scenes, all managed through beautifully designed keypads or your smartphone. It’s a system that’s as elegant to use as it is to look at.
Lutron
Lutron is one of the most respected names in lighting control, and for good reason. Its systems offer an exceptional level of precision, from fine-grained dimming and colour temperature control to motorised blinds and shades. If you want a system that responds to every nuance of light in your home, Lutron is rarely surpassed.
Control4
Control4 brings everything together under one roof. Lighting, climate, entertainment and security, all accessible through a single, intuitive interface. It’s the system we reach for when you want your home to respond intelligently to your daily routine, adapting automatically rather than waiting to be told what to do.
What we can help you achieve
The best AV systems are the ones you don’t need to think about. You’re not adjusting settings, hunting for remotes or tolerating something that’s almost right. You’re just watching, listening and enjoying your media the way you always imagined you would. The benefits include:
Sound that moves you.
Multi-room audio that fills every space evenly and beautifully, from quiet background listening to full, immersive sound with no dead spots or compromises.
A picture that does justice to what you’re watching.
Screen and projector solutions chosen and positioned for your specific room, so the image is always exactly as intended.
Technology that knows its place.
Hidden speakers, recessed screens and concealed cabling mean your interiors look exactly as you designed them. Your technology serves your space, not the other way around.
Everything controlled from one place.
A single touch to adjust your lights, close your blinds and start the film. No juggling remotes or second-guessing which app does what.
Great sound outdoors, too.
Weatherproof audio solutions for terraces, gardens and pool areas that perform as well outside as indoors.
A system that grows with you.
Scalable solutions that can be extended and updated as your needs evolve, so your investment keeps working for you long into the future.
Why Astra Lumos?
Every AV system we design starts with a conversation about how you use your home. There’s no standard package here. We’ll take the time to understand how you like to listen, where you like to watch and what you want to feel when you walk through the door at the end of the day. From that, we’ll build something that fits your life precisely.
We work with a carefully chosen set of technology partners whose products we trust completely. That means you get equipment that performs as well in five years as it does on the day we install it, and a team that stands behind every element of your system.
And because we handle lighting, home automation and AV under one roof, your system will be genuinely integrated rather than just connected. Everything will talk to everything else, and it will all respond the way you’d hope it would, immediately, reliably and without fuss.
