Performance Without Compromise in a Finished Brooklyn Residence
Brooklyn Bang & Olufsen Integration
Project Background
The homeowners of a Brooklyn residence reached out to Home Technology Experts looking for a way to enjoy high quality audio and video with simple, intuitive control. They wanted a system that elevated their everyday living without the complexity of a full home automation platform. At the same time, they were clear that construction work was not an option. No walls could be opened and no additional wiring could be added.
When the team arrived for the walkthrough, they found that each TV location only had a single CAT6 cable pre-run. This limited infrastructure created significant challenges for delivering the level of performance the clients expected, which made it essential to define clear objectives before moving forward.
Objectives
Create a system that delivered the performance of a luxury home theater experience with the simplicity of direct app-based control. The solution needed to provide high quality sound and picture while relying on existing pre-run wiring and avoiding any invasive construction or additional cabling.
A seamless solution for high-quality AV without invasive wiring
Challenges & Solutions
The limited wiring meant that many standard approaches were not possible. In-ceiling speakers tied back to a rack could not be supported, and additional wiring was not an option. The clients also wanted an easy way to control their system without learning a complex automation platform.
Other wireless systems were considered, but they could not provide the high quality audio that this project required. The homeowners were willing to invest in a higher cost solution to achieve performance that matched their expectations. Bang & Olufsen offered the right balance of luxury design, superior audio, and streamlined integration.
The Home Technology Experts team specified B&O TVs and soundbars to create seamless audio and video performance with minimal wiring. Wireless B&O speakers were placed in the living room to deliver surround sound without pre-wiring, while additional wireless speakers extended audio into the kitchen and sitting area. A motorized B&O bracket in the primary bedroom allowed the TV to pivot toward the bed for a perfect viewing angle. To ensure reliability, Wi-Fi 6 access points and hardwired Ethernet switches were installed behind each TV. Control was simplified through the B&O app and remote, which also managed devices such as the Apple TV, removing the need for multiple remotes.
This combination of design-driven products and careful engineering allowed the team to deliver the high quality audio and video the clients wanted, while working entirely within the constraints of the existing infrastructure.
Results & Conclusion
The final system delivered a refined installation with premium audio and video, all accomplished without invasive construction. Each zone works as a self-contained Bang & Olufsen environment, providing the homeowners with both wireless flexibility and hardwired stability.
The integration of TVs and soundbars created a clean architectural look, while the motorized bracket in the bedroom solved alignment issues without compromise. Wireless speakers extended performance into the kitchen and sitting area, making the experience consistent throughout the home. Most importantly, the clients now enjoy cinematic sound and visuals in every space, with effortless control through a single app and remote.
This project demonstrates that a full automation platform is not always required to deliver luxury results. Home Technology Experts designed a solution that worked within the constraints of limited pre-run wiring and delivered a system that is elegant, reliable, and tailored to the realities of the home. Bang & Olufsen proved to be the right choice when high quality and design mattered most.
