Home Theatre & Audio/Visual
Built for the
Way You Watch.
Dedicated cinemas, media rooms and whole-home audio — designed, wired and calibrated so the room performs, and so it still works properly in five years.
Dedicated Theatres
A Room That Does One Thing Perfectly
A dedicated theatre is the only room in the house where every decision serves the picture and the sound. Get the room right and modest equipment sings; get it wrong and no amount of equipment rescues it.
- Projector and screen sized to the seating distance, or a large flat panel where the room suits it better
- In-wall and in-ceiling speakers positioned to the seats rather than to the drywall
- Dolby Atmos and immersive surround laid out properly, including the height channels
- Acoustic treatment where it matters — first reflection points, back wall, and the ceiling above the front rows
- Calibration at the end, by measurement, so the room is set to what it actually measures
Basements are the usual home for these, and a basement being finished is the ideal moment to call — the speaker positions and cable runs cost almost nothing before the drywall goes up.
Media Rooms
Some People Don’t Need a Cinema
They want the family room to sound excellent and look like nobody installed anything. That’s a different problem — and for plenty of homes, the more useful one to solve.
- Televisions mounted flush to the wall, with power and signal brought in behind so there is no cable and no box
- Sources in a closet or rack elsewhere, so the room holds a screen and nothing else
- Discreet in-ceiling speakers, or a soundbar where that genuinely suits the room better — we will say so
- One remote, or the same app as the rest of the house, instead of four
A media room done well is often the better spend. We would rather talk you into the right room than the bigger one.
Whole-Home Audio
Music Everywhere,
Speakers Nowhere
Audio in the kitchen, the primary suite, the patio and the shop — independent when people want different things, together when they don’t.
- Multi-zone control, so the kitchen and the patio are genuinely separate rooms
- In-ceiling and in-wall speakers painted to the ceiling, which disappear from about a metre away
- Weatherproof patio and landscape speakers that survive a Utah winter
- Party mode when you want the whole house on one thing
- Run from the app, a wall panel, or a keypad by the door — whatever the household actually reaches for
Distributed audio over the network means adding a zone later is a cable run rather than a new amplifier. Worth wiring for more rooms than you plan to use on day one.
The Part Nobody Sees
Judge an Installer
by the Closet
Anyone can hang a television. The rack is where you can tell whether the person who wired your house expected to be judged on it later.
- Everything on a rack, labelled, on managed power, with room left to add to it
- Cable dressed and laced properly — not because it looks good, but because it is the difference between a ten-minute fault and a wall coming open
- Ventilation planned, because heat is what actually kills this equipment
- Documented, so the next person — even if it is not us — can work on it
It also depends on the network. Streaming, control and distributed audio all ride on it, so we design that first — and in a new build, the pre-wire is where all of this is decided.
Set the Scene
Theater Lighting That
Knows Its Cues.
Half of what makes a room feel like a theater is light that behaves like it’s part of the show — and it’s all low-voltage strip work we build in while the room is framed:
- Recessed ceiling coves — warm indirect glow instead of downlights bouncing off the screen
- Fabric-panel washes — strips that graze the acoustic panels and make the walls disappear
- Step and aisle lights — find your seat mid-movie without waking the room up
- Scene control — one tap: lights fade, shades drop, projector on. Intermission brings them halfway back
Accent lighting runs through the whole house, not just the theater — coves, slat walls, mirrors and landscape — on our lighting & shades page.
What We Install
Specified around the room and the budget — not around whatever we happen to stock.
