GIBSONI N T E G R A T I O N

The audio-visual world in the mid-
Eighties was very different to today.
Gibson Music was regarded as a
pioneer in what would become an
extraordinary industry that we now take
for granted.
During the Eighties, changes in
technologies were gathering pace.
Sony had launched the ground-breaking
personal cassette tape player (The
Walkman), vinyl records were still a
popular music format, terrestrial TV
welcomed Channel 4, and satellite
TV was still in its infancy. At that time,
Gibson Music designed and developed
its own multi-room music systems
so that clients could control music
wherever they chose in their homes.
Perhaps the greatest advancements
since then have been in personal
technologies and those that are close
to home. The Nineties saw the dawn of
the Information Age where suddenly
worldwide communication became
OUR HISTORY
possible through the Internet. And
during the start of the 21st century,
we’ve seen a dramatic revolution
where music, movies and other media
are available whenever and wherever
we like.
Gibson Integration’s portfolio of
services has grown to encompass much
beyond the music systems upon which
we were founded, and we now provide
ways for our clients to control whatever
they chose in their home. Our new
name, Gibson Integration, embraces the
full range of technologies for which the
company is known.
Our core enthusiasm is not just the
music that was once in our name,
but a broader range of exciting
technologies that, collectively, enable
us to create very special environments
for our clients.
THE VINTAGE YEARS TO PRESENT DAY...
Gibson Integration began its journey as Gibson Music in 1985, providing a unique and
specialised service in the design and installation of multi-room music systems.

The age of the Internet and satellite has
created many possibilities, encouraging
the speciﬁcation of fully functioning
“smart” homes and complete home
automation. Multi-room audio, private
home cinema with ﬁlms on dedicated
servers or via streaming from the
internet, lighting and shading control,
security, climate control and interactive
sports rooms are all typical elements of
integrated home technology.
Gibson Integration constantly evaluates
the complex offerings of technology
in the market and selects only those
suppliers and products that consistently
deliver on quality and reliability in their
customising of technology solutions
to its clients. Gibson Integration then
installs these features discreetly,
thereby respecting and complementing
the décor.
INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”
ARTHUR C. CLARKE
When it comes to seamlessly
integrating top quality home technology
into high-end interior design schemes,
Gibson Integration has built a highly
regarded reputation by working with
top interior designers, architects and
discerning private clients alike.
Everything in the home has the
capacity to be controlled by a single
touch-screen panel or iPad/iPhone,
enabling easy access to all the home
automation features, even remotely
from the premises.
In the UK and abroad we will deliver
21st-century technology to you at the
touch of a button.

As true as David Bowie’s statement
from 1977, our clients value their music
and movie libraries, and require access
to them free from limitations. We take
music and video content from TV
and satellite services, and make our
clients’ extensive movie libraries
available throughout their premises
via media servers.
By using our experience, we can
help realise impressive audio-visual
experiences in everyday rooms. We can
conceal loudspeaker systems within
an elegantly decorated room, and treat
that room so that the sound is truly

engaging. Vision is provided in a
variety of ways with automated
mountings designed to emphasise,
conceal and control.
This combination of top-tier - and
sensibly integrated - technology
builds a rewarding and moving audio-
visual experience.

Cinema, in its finest form, has the ability
to transport you away from the here and
now, and lose you in the spectacle of
the event.
There is something truly magical in
experiencing film in an exceptional
home cinema. For this reason alone,
bespoke installations are increasingly
establishing themselves as an essential
feature of many prime residences.
Gibson Integration has a wealth of
experience and expertise in offering
full design and implementation of
home cinema and has been involved
in installations in some of the most

ROMAN POLANSKI
prestigious properties in London
including The Boltons, Cheyne Row,
Mayfair, as well as the Home Counties
and overseas.
Our installations utilise numerous
technologies encompassing film
management and storage, optimum
sound reproduction, high-definition 3D
projectors, acoustically transparent
projection screens and fabrics and fine
finish decor.

LIGHTING CONTROL
“Live in rooms full of light”.
CORNELIUS CELSUS
Lighting is one of the most important
elements of a successful space and
specialist lighting can transform any
room. Moreover, the same space can be
changed again and again whether
to match a new purpose, emphasise
room features (such as art), or vary
ambience, tone or colour to reﬂect a
change in mood.
Gibson Integration are experts in
installation and programming, extending
from illumination to full control of
natural light with automation of blinds
and drapes.
Of course, lighting is not limited just
to inside the home; we can extend our
philosophy to the outside space.

INTEGRATED SECURITY
“The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come.”
CONFUCIUS
IT & TELECOMMUNICATIONS
“No man is an island”
JOHN DONNE
Information Technology is an essential
and integral part of everyday life, from
how we interact, to the way we live and
how we use media.
Gibson Integration is able to
provide solutions for all your IT and
telecommunication requirements,
ranging from a secure home network,
WiFi, telephone systems, together with
back-up and storage.
COMPLETE HOME AUTOMATION
“Besides black art, there is only automation and mechanization.”
FEDERICO GARCIA LORCA
Complete home automation is not
a “black art” but, when designed and
installed professionally, it can be a
thing of wonder.
A well designed home automation
system couples the behind-the-scenes
benefits of energy efficiency with
immediate improvements to comfort
provided by unified control. Integration
of all the systems within the premises,
In today’s uncertain world, Gibson
Integration is able to offer our clients
numerous solutions to assist with their
security requirements, both at home and
in the office.
Working with specialist security
experts, including NACOSS approved
installers, we will ensure that you have
the appropriate level of protection to
suit your requirements, with installations
such as climate, entertainment and
lighting, allows effortless customisation
of our clients’ day-to-day environments.

embracing the most up-to-date
innovative access technologies.
CCTV, door-entry cameras and
phones, digital image recording, smoke
and heat detection, control from any
room in the house or remote access
via touch screen devices are but a few
examples of the technologies that we
work with.

Gibson Compact is a stand-alone
division focused on smaller projects.
Led by an experienced project manager,
the service is aimed at small to medium
projects that require minimal preparation
work, are relatively straightforward, and
turnkey in their nature.
A typical installation could be a small
home cinema room or four areas of
music with a plasma system, help with
a new computer network for an existing
client, or a high-end music system with
performance speakers.
GIBSON COMPACT AFTERCARE
“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a
desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”
E. B. WHITE
DESIGN, PLANNING & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
“Adventure is just bad planning.”
ROALD AMUNDSEN At Gibson Integration, we believe that
whilst it is important to advise our clients
of the possibilities, it is essential for us
to listen in order to understand your
requirements and establish what is
important to you. Only in this way can
we develop a solution which delivers.
Gibson Integration provides a design
and drawing service for every project.
Working as a close member of the
project team, it establishes a clear
brief for the overall project. From this,
a detailed specification is developed
including, as appropriate, wiring
schematics, overlay plans, technical
drawings, product information and
outline costs.
Project management is extremely
important. From the time of our first
appointment, a dedicated project
manager will be allocated to you.
He will be responsible for all aspects of
the installation and will be the primary
point of contact for the project team
and the client.
Gibson Integration’s range of aftercare
services strives to resolve this conflict
with regular servicing and maintenance
plans, together with post-installation
system and programming revisions
which address any changes in
requirements, ensuring that the client
can “enjoy their world”. Each aftercare
package can be tailored to suit your
requirements. We also offer advice
on any advances in technology which
give options that may help our clients
improve their installation should they
so wish.
We do not live in a perfect world and
occasionally things go wrong. Gibson
Integration therefore also offers a
reactive response service providing,
where access is granted, remote system
correction or, where necessary, a call-
out facility. Every attempt is made to
resolve problems quickly and efficiently
to minimise your inconvenience.
Design practices particularly welcome
this service as they feel confident that
a small audio-visual installation will be
addressed in the same professional way
as a larger project, using the knowledge,
experience and expertise resource of
Gibson Integration.

HOSPITALITY
