Assess & Determine Goals
First, we’ll sit down with you and analyze your current AV setup and your future goals and challenges. Then, we’ll run options by you to ensure you’re satisfied with the technology installation and your system’s capabilities.
A home AV project could include the following systems:
- Home theater
- Multi-room audio
- In-wall and in-ceiling speakers
- Outdoor audio and video
- Automated lighting and shading
- Landscape lighting
- HVAC controls
- Home security
- And more!
Design a System
Once we’ve determined the scope of your project, we begin planning and designing where technology will go in each room. We’re familiar with specific AV requirements, such as:
- Room sizes and layouts for technology
- Best viewing angles for video displays
- Room acoustics and optimal speaker placements
- Appropriate power and connectivity to accommodate equipment
- Ideal location for control panels and wall keypads
- Hidden wiring, control boxes, and AV equipment
Choose Optimal Equipment
We’re partners with manufacturers of the highest-quality AV equipment, and we know which are best for specific applications. From audio receivers to laser projectors, we know the best names in the industry that you can trust. If you were to DIY your AV installation, you wouldn’t have an expert’s insights into what brands work and which do not.
Provide Tailor-Made Suggestions
After determining the design and equipment, we make suggestions for the finer details, like custom wall keypads that connect to your home’s audio, video, or lighting. We can program a smart system with personalized settings that adjust your home’s atmosphere just as you’d like it.
Imagine a “Dinner” button on your smart system app or wall keypad that plays music at a low volume and instantly dims the lights—in one command! It’s possible with help from an AV consultant.
Begin the Installation
As your AV consultant, we then install your new technology system, which involves engineering, programming, and implementing the wiring and hardware. We’ll work alongside your other building contractors to create a seamless experience that performs to the highest standard with aesthetics in mind.
