A favourite among installers
Martin Müller is an electrical technician at Billharz Energiesysteme GmbH in Gutach. He is familiar with Siedle products and installations but Basic is new to him. We left him alone to get to know the devices. His task: To mount , install and commission them. This is his impression.
Mounting
"It took me no time at all to get to grips with it. Basic is up on the wall in a jiffy. There is plenty of leeway next to the flush mounting box. This is ideal if the box is not quite square or out of alignment. It's also great to have just one component to work with, so there's no need to worry about a frame or anything else."

Commissioning with Plug+Play
"Saves time, particularly in big buildings. I usually have my customers with me on site during the commissioning process. They are often amazed at how smart the technology is. I get a lot of pleasure out of demonstrating and selling this system. The last step is a test call using the new system, and the customer is delighted."

Design
"Basic proves that an entry level device can look great. I can even imagine Basic being a popular option in high-end apartments.
What's remarkable about the video station is that the screen ends flush with the edge. I have never seen that before in any device – it looks superb."

Acoustics and operation
"The acoustic quality is at least as good as the predecessor. Subjectively speaking I would even say: better. Limiting the controls to just two buttons makes for easy operation. It's also very neat that all the important functions are still there, such as muting by double clicking on the speech button."

Summary
"Siedle is undoubtedly a superior option when it comes to both quality and processing. Other devices simply don't have the same attributes, particularly not in the entry level segment. Siedle is breaking whole new ground with this system."
