Opus Technologies announces unprecedented demand for multi room audio-visual system on The Palm Jumeirah

The award winning Opus 500 entertainment system is expected to significantly enhance day to day living through its high quality distributed audio which will enable owners to listen to what they want, when they like from anywhere in their home.

Provision has been made for Opus 500 in 1400 of Nakheel's Signature Villas, Garden Villas and Canal Cove Townhouses with hidden cabling throughout the properties, a factor which has enabled homeowners to install the system at a significantly reduced cost. An initial invitation to owners has yielded a significant take-up of the product with a further several hundred enquiries also expected to convert into sales. In a move to provide The Palm Jumeirah Signature Villa customers with an efficient and professional service, Opus has put in place a dedicated customer care facility based at their offices in Dubai.

James Johnson-Flint, Chief Executive Officer, Opus Technologies commented; "The inclusion of the Opus 500 Multi Room system in these villas further enhances The Palm Jumeirah's reputation as a landmark project for the region. As we expected the feedback we are receiving from its residents reinforces our belief that savvy home buyers and investors in the region now demand to see smart home features in their homes. Such technology can act as a compelling differentiator when attracting new buyers."

The system will provide each villa with high quality sound in key locations including the living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom, en-suite bathroom, and majlis. Rich, full, high performance audio will be distributed through virtually invisible ceiling speakers and control over multiple devices (including radio, CD, iPod®, Music server etc) will be provided by attractive wall mounted keypads (and remote controls) located in each room

Chris O'Donnell, Nakheel Chief Executive, commented: "Nakheel is renowned for its bold, visionary and landmark developments and it is for this reason that we are continually looking at innovative and practical ways of adding value to our customer's homes. We are currently in the process of handing over a first-class product to residents in the form of villas and apartments on The Palm Jumeirah, but of course, well-thought through touches and additions can often add value to our customers' experience. That's why we have chosen the region's leading manufacturer of multi-room entertainment systems, Opus Technologies, to provide the option of smart home technology for residents of The Palm Jumeirah."

Aligned with the latest technologies the Opus entertainment system now also offers Nakheel customers iPod connectivity; ensuring residents can enjoy their favourite music throughout the home at the touch of a button.
