Our Process
Prior to launching your vision, it’s imperative to meet with clients to understand wants and needs. We strive to build the perfect relationship in order to understand your lifestyle so we can design and propose the perfect system tailored to your budget. Typically consultations are done at your new construction or already-built residence and/or business discussing plans and preparing for the next steps of design, scope and services that need careful coordination.
Consultation
Effective and appropriate systems integration requires attention to detail, careful planning, layout, and design. We offer advanced system design services. From lighting and automation to multi-zone audio/video distribution, we are here to design and execute your systems just the way you envision them to be in order to make life easier.
Design
This is the most exciting phase, where our client’s project truly begins to form and take shape. Is it a new construction? Perfectly okay! Then we're returning along with other contractors like the electricians, hvac, and plumbers to "trim" out or pre-wire. All of the careful planning allows our team to appropriate each device to the wired location. From speakers to light switches, outdoor oases to visual displays, they're all starting to "integrate" together to paint this picture that you envisioned.
Installation
Post installation we maintain our beautifully built relationships and strive to provide exceptional support for products and services. With every project we create a relationship that blossoms over many years, all to ensure client satisfaction.

When working with us rest assured, your expectations will be met.
Many of us want the perfect Home Theater system, but budget is a factor. Visuals are important to most, but we suggest allocating one-third of your budget to audio. With large displays now up to 98-100", this allows for a better movie experience with 40-50% of the budget dedicated to audio. Good speaker technology can last for decades, while displays are always evolving. A good sound system is crucial for an immersive movie experience. Acoustics are also important and should account for 15-25% of the budget. Without proper acoustics, audio can sound scattered and overpowering.
Choosing the right speakers is crucial for creating an enjoyable theater audio experience. The speaker system you select will determine the type of receiver, preamplifier, and amplifier you will need. It's important to consider the sound characteristics of your speakers, such as "bright" or "warm," and ensure they complement each other for a cohesive and immersive viewing experience. Additionally, sticking to one brand for all your speakers is recommended to maintain the proper "timbre" or tone color of your system.
A whole home audio system utilizes multiple speakers strategically placed throughout your house and property to deliver audio at any time, whether it be for music, audio books, or talk radio. This can be achieved through home automation, smart home apps, or an on-wall control system. It adds life to your home during gatherings with family and friends, and allows you to wake up to an upbeat song, setting the tone for the day. Additionally, the system can extend to your outdoor space, providing seamless integration and the ability to relax to your favorite tunes while lounging in your jacuzzi.
