Powered by the Leaders in Connected AV
We specify platforms that are proven in professionally designed homes: Control4 for whole-home AV routing, McIntosh for reference 2-channel and distributed listening, and Sonos for flexible wireless listening across the home.
What Is Whole-Home Audio & Video?
Whole-home or whole-house audio and video lets you route any source — music, TV, streaming, security cameras — to any room in the house, all from a single, easy-to-use interface.
Why Whole-Home Audio & Video?
Your family moves — from kitchen to patio to primary suite. Your music and video should move with you, without juggling remotes or apps.
Dinner playlist in the kitchen, jazz on the patio, kids’ movie in the media room — all from one interface. We can give you wall-mounted touchscreens or app-only control.
All sources are centralized, so the design of the space stays clean.
Whole-Home Video, Too
Distribute Apple TV, cable, or security feeds to every TV so you don’t need a pile of boxes in each room — everything lives in a central rack. Perfect for game days and entertaining.
How the Process Works
We act as your long-term technology advisor for the home, especially for homes in towns like Franklin Lakes, Mendham, Short Hills, Chatham, and Morristown.
- Discovery: We walk your home (or review plans) and learn how your family actually lives and entertains.
- Design: We map out zones, speaker types, wiring paths, and control locations so everything feels natural.
- Installation: Our team installs and labels the wiring, gear, and networking infrastructure for clean reliability.
- Programming: We create scenes like “Dinner,” “Game Day,” and “Goodnight” so everything works with one tap.
- Support: We stay available to adjust, add rooms, and keep the system current as your family’s needs change.
Invisible Speakers, Architectural Sound
We design whole-home audio so the experience is loud, but the hardware is quiet. Perfect for design-driven homes in Morris, Bergen, and Essex counties.
Architectural in-ceiling
Ideal for everyday listening in kitchens, hallways, and open floorplans — full sound without big boxes.
Invisible walls
For formal and designer spaces, we can install plaster-over or paintable speakers so only the music is noticeable.
High-power backbone
Distributed amplifiers and optional McIntosh gear in a central rack drive every zone cleanly.
How Clients Experience Whole-Home Audio Every Day
This is the real value — the system disappears and life gets better.
Weekend Dinner Party
Kitchen + dining + patio all playing the same playlist, volumes linked. No shouting over one room being too loud.
Morning Routine
News in the kitchen, kids’ music in the playroom, soft jazz in the primary suite — all from a Control4 scene.
Game Day Video
One source to multiple TVs — bar, kitchen, family room — so nobody misses the play while they’re refilling drinks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a whole-home audio system cost in Northern New Jersey?
Most professionally designed whole-home audio systems in Northern New Jersey start with a core set of rooms and can range into the tens of thousands of dollars depending on room count, speaker types, and whether we are working in new construction or an existing home.
Can you retrofit whole-home audio into my existing home?
Yes. We routinely retrofit whole-home audio into existing homes using a mix of wired and wireless solutions, and we coordinate with your contractor when walls need to be opened for new wiring.
Can you integrate my existing Sonos or McIntosh equipment?
Yes. We can often integrate existing Sonos players, McIntosh components, and other high-performance gear into a new Control4 or multiroom design so you keep the equipment you already enjoy.
Can I start small and add more rooms later?
Yes. We can start with core areas — kitchen, family room, patio — and wire or design for future zones so you can expand over time.
Will I see equipment in every room?
No. We centralize sources and amps in one rack and use in-ceiling/in-wall speakers so your interiors stay clean.
Do you work with designers and builders?
Yes. We coordinate with your GC, interior designer, or architect so audio and video wiring is hidden and the control points land where you want them.
