At the premium end of the market, Loewe TVs offer
a uniquely high-end look and feel through considered
product design, high quality materials such as aluminium
and wood, together with a strong ethos of craftsmanship.
There’s fl exibility too with a choice of stand solutions for
fl oor, table and wall mounting as well motorised stand
options which not only add some ‘wow’ factor but offer
real benefi ts, enabling TVs to switch on to a pre-defi ned
viewing angle and switch off fl ush against the wall. To
make neat installs easier, both TVs and stands include
carefully considered cable management. Banishing AV
clutter has always been a priority for installers who will
enjoy Loewe’s fully integrated soundbar, which delivers
high clarity dialogue and strong audio without the need
for the placement of an addition external soundbar.
At the other end of the scale, the new modular
bild 5 can be purchased as a screen-only TV, perfectly
integrating with third party in-ceiling and in-wall
speaker solutions. Loewe offers a range of audio
solutions too, that are easy to integrate thanks to the
TV’s built-in 5.1 decoders enabling 3.1 to 5.2 systems to
switch on and operate seamlessly using just the Loewe
TV remote control.
With the proliferation of TV content providers,
accessing favourite content is becoming increasingly
complex for consumers. Loewe’s Home Screen makes
control simple and can combine a choice of terrestrial,
satellite and radio channels as well as apps, websites
and HDMI devices. Importantly, the HDMI devices
can be named and allocated logos so that they look
and feel fully integrated. Whether its BBC 1 HD, BBC
Radio 4, TIDAL or Apple TV, all the customer has to
do is point and click for quick and simple access
directly from the Home Screen. Alternatively Loewe
TVs can be set-up in monitor mode so that they will
boot up directly to a pre-selected HDMI input, perfect
for installations utilising network switches or with any
single source for content.
For larger home automation jobs, there are certifi ed IP
drivers for Control4 and Crestron with other drivers under
development. For the hospitality sector, Loewe offers its
own hotel mode as well as integration with a number of
hotel systems. Looking to the future, Loewe demonstrated
Alexa voice integration at the IFA consumer electronics
fair in September 2017, which will be released as a
software upgrade at the end of the year, and there will be
other big software announcements in the UK soon.
When it comes to extravagance, CAVD has a
particularly opulent offering in the form of their luxury
mirror TV brand, Agath. Based in Lyon, France, these
fantastic TVs offer an alternative to a black screen when
not in use in the form of a high quality mirror, transforming
the space and creating a stylish glass art piece. Agath
bring together the very best technology to produce a
reliable, serviceable, high performance visually stunning
product. Hand-picked commercial grade screens, ready
for 24/7/365 use are bonded with ultra-polished glass
panels. Precision cut back boxes are supplied for neat
installations and separate electronic input and output
modules allow fl exibility and fast servicing. The T2 range
are ideal for fl ush in-wall installation. T3 is on-wall with a
Corian surround. MD2 or MD3 denotes that the separate
Media Module is supplied. Lastly, two more small models
are available for fl ush bathroom fi tting and saunas.
With six mirror types to choose from, any Agath piece
can be integrated into its surroundings. Unlike some other
manufacturers, it’s custom glass sizes can be produced
up to 3m x 2m, making it ideal for full wall installations in
bedrooms, bathrooms, retail and hospitality.
The TVs are produced for standard HD at 1080p,
but in larger sizes, 55in to 98in, are available in 4K for
UHD viewing.
Back in 1997, Aquavision’s launch product, the world’s
fi rst in-wall television, was a waterproof design aimed at
bathrooms, showers, saunas and pool rooms. The current
range is still waterproof up to IP66, but today it addresses
the desire for the seamless integration of beautifully
discreet décor-matching in-wall TV screens with every
space, including outdoor areas.
