Create a luxury home where incredible audio is heard, not seen.
If you’re designing or building a beautiful, one-of-a-kind property, chances are neither you nor your client wants to clutter the space with visible wires or bulky technology.
Whole-home audio has become one of the most popular smart home features, thanks to simple, app-based control of music throughout the property. We partner with leading audio manufacturers that understand how to balance great sound and architectural intent.
When you work with an AV integrator like us, we can bring a variety of audio solutions to fit your needs, from powerful on-wall speakers to discreet, high-fidelity speakers that complement your design rather than compete with it.
On-Wall Speakers
On-wall speakers are a great entry point to whole-home audio or surround sound systems. We install multi-room speakers mounted high on the walls to stay out of sightlines. If we’re brought into your project early enough, we can hide wiring behind walls.
We take into account ceiling heights, room acoustics, and sound coverage, careful to install speakers where they will sound the best without getting in the way. When needed, we can install discreet acoustic treatments to balance sound in the room.
If we’re also designing your lighting, we’ll coordinate fixture placement to avoid visual clutter or unwanted shadows. In fact, our lighting designs can take the focus off speakers, so they settle into the background.
On-wall speakers will vary in price depending on the brand and quality of the speaker. If budgets are tight, on-wall models will generally be cheaper than the following more ‘hidden’ options.
In-Wall/In-Ceiling Speakers
For audio that’s a little more covert, in-ceiling and in-wall speakers and subwoofers blend seamlessly into their surroundings. We paint speaker grilles to match the room’s color and position them carefully alongside recessed lights, ceiling fans, and architectural elements.
These architectural speakers are available in a range of sizes and in circular or rectangular shapes. If sound quality is the priority, we recommend larger models. If design takes precedent, smaller versions still deliver excellent performance for everyday listening.
Small Aperture Speakers
For those seeking nearly invisible audio, small aperture speakers deliver stunning performance from an opening as small as three inches. From the outside, you’ll see only a small grille, while behind the surface lies hidden equipment producing full, rich sound.
Small aperture speakers are more discreet, and typically more costly, than standard in-ceiling speakers. We guide clients through the best options to meet their aesthetic goals and budgets.
Invisible Audio
This is the ultimate architectural speaker: one you’ll never see. Invisible speakers install directly behind drywall, making them entirely hidden from view—yet they sound excellent! We can also install invisible subwoofers to provide rich bass for every melody.
