Top Volume Winner and Control4 Partner of the Year
The team at New Wave AV is delighted to have received two accolades at the 2025 Control4 Partner Awards, announced at the annual ISE show in Barcelona. We were awarded ‘Top Volume Winner’ for the EMEA region – which means we are the largest dealer in Europe, the Middle East and Africa – and ‘Control4 Partner of the Year’ for the Southern region of England.
The Control4 awards, presented by Snap One, recognise the commitment of the brand’s partners, acknowledging their outstanding customer service, high-quality installations and the promotion of the Control4 brand and its suite of products. Taking home not one but two awards demonstrates the high standards that New Wave AV upholds and our dedication to customer support.
Our founder, Kevin Whysall, said, “We are honoured to have been awarded ‘Top Volume Winner’, which makes us the largest Control4 dealer in the EMEA region. To be named ‘Control4 Partner of the Year’ in the Southern region for another consecutive year is also amazing.
“What makes this extra special is that the business is celebrating 20 years as a trusted Control4 partner in 2025. I’d like to thank our Kent and Surrey teams for all their hard work and commitment, and to acknowledge the customers who have trusted us to transform their homes.”
Two decades of partnership
New Wave AV began our partnership with Control4 in 2005 and our team has been bringing the technology into homes and businesses ever since. In January 2022, we became one of only a handful of Control4 Pinnacle Diamond Dealers worldwide, showcasing our ability to complete complex jobs and offer greater levels of support than our competitors. With a design-led approach, we deliver solutions that are tailored to our clients’ exact needs, which can be scaled and adapted as necessary.
Over the past 20 years, we have also seen firsthand how Control4 technologies have grown and improved. The brand has developed its own extensive range of products, as well as offering compatibility with a vast array of leading brands, including Sony, LG, Sonos, Lutron, Apple, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Philips, Nintendo and many more.
What is Control4?
Control4 is one of the world’s foremost automation systems, offering a customisable and unified experience that encompasses lighting, climate control, audio-visual systems, security and much more. The technology makes controlling the features of your smart home seamless, enabling you to execute a range of commands via a centralised hub. This streamlined approach creates a simple, efficient way for homeowners to manage their living space.
The Control4 operating system includes several key components: the controller, which serves as the ‘brain’, processing commands and controlling devices; the interfaces such as touchscreens and remotes, that offer an intuitive way to interact with the system; and the devices – which can be any smart devices in your home, from security cameras to smart coffee machines.
With the touch of a button you can execute a number of functions at once. For example, if you’re sitting down to watch a movie in your home cinema, you could close the window blinds, dim the lights, activate the audio-visual system and adjust the climate settings – all with a tap on the interface.
What are the benefits of Control4?
Choosing Control4 offers a range of advantages:
- Centralised platform: Control4 brings the operation of all your smart devices under one umbrella, negating the need for different apps to operate different functions.
- Extensive compatibility: Control4 not only has its own suite of products, it is also compatible with a vast array of security, lighting, audio-visual, streaming and motorisation brands, making it easy to integrate into your smart home. It can be operated with Amazon Alexa or via Android touchscreens if desired.
- Customisable: Commands and ‘scenes’ can be programmed according to your exact needs and activated with a simple voice command (e.g. “Good Morning”) or the touch of a button.
- Advanced encryption: Control4 uses advanced encryption and security measures to protect your system against cyber threats.
- Energy usage: By automating functions such as lighting and climate control, you can save energy and lower utility bills.
- Remote access: Should you need to access or monitor your system remotely, you can do so via the Control4 app.
- Scalability: As your needs grow and change, Control4 can be scaled to accommodate new devices and technologies.
