Industry award for local business
July 2010
CEDIA NEWS: Industry award for local business Local company Liquid Automation, who specialise in design and installation of residential and commercial electronic systems, has won an international award for the Asia Pacific region. The awards showcased some incredible installations which boasted integration on an unprecedented scale. They included stunning examples of home automation, home theatres many only dream of, amazing marine vessels fitted out with every perceivable piece of electronics, practical commercial applications and excellent audio visual product implementation. Based in Rosedale North Shore, Liquid Automation for the second year running won the ‘Best Marine Project’ and received a highly commended for ‘Best Project Design and Documentation’, both categories of the prestigious CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles® Awards, announced and celebrated by over 300 industry guests at a gala dinner function at the Plaza Ballroom, Melbourne, on Wednesday 23 June. Liquid Automation’s Sam Ashton accepted the award and said: “It was an eight-month project with an impressive installation that included all the bells and whistles aboard this luxury vessel. We’re excited to have won, and also we received a highly-commended award for the project design and documentation for the same project.” “The submissions in this year’s prestigious awards were the best I’ve ever seen, both locally and internationally” said Executive Director of CEDIA Asia Pacific, Stephen Miller. “These awards are not given out lightly. This year we had a record number of entries (92) across the Asia Pacific region and each category was fiercely contested. The three judges on this year’s panel come from overseas and commented on the high standard of entries they were asked to adjudicate on.” “Liquid Automation was a worthy winner of the award and had to fend off a talented field to claim both first place and the highly commended award.” Miller said. “We congratulate them and wish them all future success and expect to see them on the podium again next year.” Liquid Automation encourages members of the community to call in at Unit 4 / 40 Arrenway Drive, for a chat and to find out what makes them number one in their field.

SY Thalia - an electronic haven on the high seas

Imagine having hi-fi music in every room of your home with nothing more than an elegant Wall Mounted Keypad and virtually invisible in-wall or in-ceiling Speakers showing. This is the dream system of many interior decorators and wives of audio enthusiasts everywhere.
Whole house audio/video refers to a centralized audio/video system that pipes music and video signals throughout the home. Because the system is centralized, the only components present in each room are speakers and TV screens. Control of the system is made through a handheld remote or wall mounted control panels. The centralized components can either be hidden away in a closet, or if you prefer, mounted in an impressive rack system array in your living room. These systems may even include additional DVD or Blu-Ray and CD players located locally in various rooms for convenience. These additional disk players can be viewed or listened to in the room they are located as well as any other room in the house.
Home theatre is an experience - not just boxes with knobs and buttons. Liquid Automation is passionate about music and cinema, and we bring our passion to you from the design of your home theatre or media room to the placement of speakers to the acoustic treatment of your room. We will help you select your front projector, TV, speakers, receiver, DVD player, Blu-Ray player, home theatre seating and other hardware with the same care we would select our own. We take everything into consideration to bring you the best experience possible.
Imagine inserting the latest blockbuster Blu-Ray disk or DVD into your player, turning down the lights, sitting back in the elegant leather of your home theatre seating and being transported into the movie like you have never been before. Imagine feeling the sonic boom of a fighter jet in your chest just as if it flew over your house. Imagine scenes so real you think you are there. Imagine feeling like you are front row and centre of the best concert of your life. All these things and more are possible with home theatre designed and installed by Liquid Automation.
