Audio Visual - IT - SecuriTy

london - Monaco

In the iconic sphere of the Super Yacht (and the Super Home) excellence

is not a luxury. It is a living, working, uncompromising essential.

Here, our mission is to transform imagination into reality through the

creation of cutting edge bespoke smart systems controlling audio and

visual entertainment, lighting, heating, IT and security. This ensures

a relaxed, dependable and refined living and working environment.

We have no need of sub-contractors, nor packaged solutions.

Our dedicated complement of over 40 people provide direct control

and project management across system design and build, hardware

and software engineering, IT and networking, and security.

As our speciality is the Super Yacht and the Super Home, there is no

room for compromise, only excellence. With more than 25 years in

business, offices in London and Monaco, Icon Connect is a completely

independent company.

We use the very latest and most advanced technologies and are not

limited to any one particular manufacturer.

This ensures our clients are left in no doubt that the systems we design

and install are the most appropriate for the project and will meet

budget whilst delivering longevity and low cost of ownership.

We do, however, ensure that where appropriate our company and staff

achieve the highest level of accreditation with leading manufacturers

including Crestron, AMX, Kaleidescape, Apple and Cisco, ensuring full

support worldwide so that we can assure you of excellence.

We invite you on a voyage of discovery, to cross the clear blue water

between what is often presented as Super Yacht standard and that

which you will experience when you choose Icon Connect. EXC

Almost by definition, a Super Yacht is different. Decision making

processes must allow for more freedom and flexibility in the pursuit

of personal tastes, aspirations and the overall desire for excellence.

Only when both the supplier and client are uncompromising in the

pursuit of excellence, does the assertion hold true. Key to achieving

this is having the specialised knowledge and skills that this unique

environment demands, ensuring the whole job is delivered right first

time, the inescapable point being, when spending less can cost you

more. With exceptional success in business or any other field, comes

the highest level of expectation.

All of our clients want to be certain that everything will continue to

work perfectly, which is why we always ensure two things above all:

a fully integrated system that is remarkably easy to “interface” with,

using simple touch screen controls and equipment that is utterly

dependable at sea.

We are totally independent of any manufacturer, and we continually

monitor, integrate and bench-test the latest equipment and technologies

before recommending a system design.

In a world where customers really do demand the very best, we are

proud to have achieved an exceptionally high level of client retention,

which is surely the ultimate test of the consistent quality and level of

service that we provide.

E Where control is concerned, again, simplicity is the key word.

Owners do not want a training course or to ask a crew member

every time they need to start, stop or change something.

We use touch screen controls, a user interface control system

specially written and developed by Icon Connect that offers

effortless “at a glance” control that even the most non-technical

owner can quickly master and find pleasurable to use.

Who wouldn’t enjoy lights, blinds, audio, video, internet and

air-conditioning all integrated into easy touch screen panels

or tablets at every convenient location?

This is especially advantageous for a charter client, who could

otherwise spend days finding out how everything works, for

perhaps only a few days’ voyage.

Our initial design plan is inspired by two key considerations:

a profile of the client and the five essential elements –

audio, video, distribution, control and installation. It’s crucial

to ensure the perfect balance.

With audio and video, generally the cheaper the system

the more knobs you get, which is one of the chief causes

of system failure, particularly when being cleaned.

For the very best picture quality it is essential that we

implement the most advanced, tried and tested video routing

technology available in order to control and distribute the

best available High Definition video throughout the yacht.

For the non-technical, this simply equates to stunning,

life-like pictures and clear, dynamic sound.

Having journeyed with us this far, it comes as little

surprise to learn how happy we are to be judged simply

on the quality and stature of the yachts in our varied

and extensive portfolio.

i n a s e a o f c o n f o r m i t y, c r e at e s o m e t h i n g u n i q u e

Every yacht is unique and so is every interior. Therefore

our remit has to be to match those aspects of the design

and ensure that our systems deliver something very

different and special to the client.

Our custom installation can match and exceed

expectations, incorporating unique and personalised touch

panel layouts whilst still remaining intuitive and easy to use.

Concealing equipment in innovative ways, yet allowing

one or two key components to be exposed, enhances

and adds a new dimension to any installation.

For those who like to show the technology, we can

display custom main equipment racks in special colours,

fronted by glass etched with the yacht emblem

enhanced by bespoke lighting.

We continue to undertake some of the most

demanding commissions ever seen on a Super Yacht

and continue to break many of the rules of traditional

yachting “wisdom”.

By doing this we can deliver something quite unlike

anything previously encountered, yet be confident of

delivering something that works and is easy to use.

In order to deliver, we will, if necessary, design from

the ground up, and ensure that innovation and quality

control continue to be exceptional.

This proves we can innovate and allows creatively

driven clients the satisfaction they so often find elusive.

As well as providing some of

the world’s fibest ‘built-in’ audio

systems, a range of bold, striking

and contemporary designer

speakers are also available,

such as the ones illustrated.

With ever increasing uncertainty and unrest in the world

today, the proliferation of terrorism and the nature of what

a yacht might represent, it is increasingly important that we

are able to offer state-of-the-art systems and programs that

deal with all security concerns aboard such vessels. All of

our systems are designed to meet a client’s specific concerns

and requirements. Our consultative approach, working with

the client’s team, ensures that we meet and deliver a solution

for all concerns that guarantees complete security on board.

Audio Visual cannot be implemented or mentioned without

IT. We are an AV/IT service provider. The internet is part

of our everyday life and even when out of 3G/4G range or

land-based services, the demand for the system to be fully

operational remains critical.

Delivering internet services to the yacht via satellite

communications when at sea is vital, not only to the on-

going operation of the yacht but also for the owner and

guests to be able to stay in touch with business. With the

ever growing demand for “connected” devices, be they for

downloading a movie, watching a live football match using

an IP feed, calling another cabin on an IP phone system and

ensuring the reliable connection of a control tablet for the

audio video, the demands put on an IT infrastructure are

considerable. There is nothing more frustrating than not

getting a Wi-Fi signal.

Icon Connect have recognised this and invested in IT

and Network design with CISCO trained and accredited

staff. This ensures that the IT network infrastructure on

which the yacht systems run are reliable, up-to-date

and maintainable.

ISE Providing the ultimate entertainment solutions for the world’s

most affluent and successful people, anywhere in the world,

asks a lot not only of the technical people, but the designers

who create the overall concept.

It takes expertise, experience and imagination to get it right

first time, every time. Getting it right first time allows for no

assumptions, or second-guessing the client. Every question has

to be asked, every possibility has to be fully considered, every

client expectation met, and every little detail nailed down before

a single component is ordered. Part of the secret is knowing

which components to choose and why. Rest assured, the quality

of installation adds value and prestige to yachts designed and

constructed to the highest world standards.

Icon Connect has enhanced its service offerings with consultancy

to ensure that the very best advice is offered at the most appropriate

time. Our practical experience in designing and delivering and

supporting complex Audio Video, IT and Security systems offers ~a

smarter approach to success. The perfect result for any project can

be achieved with proper and timely planning.

The multiple component parts of interiors and exteriors all have a

bearing on each other. For a new build, the design and implementation

of the infrastructure ensuring there is future proofing is crucial. If this

is done well, it will result in better management of costs by minimising

changes which can be expensive and disruptive, for example changing

to a larger screen or speaker or cables being run to the wrong place.

A re-fit can be a daunting task but key to ensuring an accurate budget

is the delivery of a comprehensive survey as carpentry and cabling will

need to be designed and delivered.
