What We Build

Two Ways to Experience Sound and Cinema

Whether you want a dedicated theater that rivals a commercial cinema or music flowing through every room in your home — we design, install, and integrate both.

Custom home theater with projection screen and surround sound in South Sound WA

▶

Home Theater & Media Rooms

A dedicated space built for cinematic immersion. We design the room around the experience — projector and screen selection, speaker placement calculated for your space, acoustic treatment, ambient lighting, motorized shades, seating layout, and a control system that makes it all feel effortless. Press play and disappear into the movie.

✦ Projectors from Epson, Sony, and Leica — from high-value 4K to reference-grade laser cinema

✦ Screen Innovations — motorized, fixed-frame, ambient light rejecting, and acoustically transparent screens

✦ Surround sound with Klipsch, Bowers & Wilkins, DALI, and Phase Technology — 5.1 through immersive Atmos

✦ AV processing from Marantz, NAD, AudioControl, Integra, and AV Pro Edge

✦ Acoustic treatment, light control, and seating layout designed around your room dimensions

✦ One-touch control — lights dim, shades close, projector fires, and the movie starts

♫

Multi-Room Audio

Music in every room, controlled from the apps you already use. We install VSSL streaming amplifiers with in-ceiling and in-wall speakers from Bluesound, Klipsch, Truaudio, and Bowers & Wilkins — giving each zone its own source or syncing them together. No proprietary apps to learn, no subscriptions, just your music, everywhere.

✦ VSSL A.6x — 6-zone streaming amplifier with AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, and Alexa built in

✦ In-ceiling and in-wall speakers from Bluesound, Klipsch, Truaudio, and Bowers & Wilkins

✦ Independent zone control — each room plays its own source or syncs with others

✦ Voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri — no remote or app required

✦ Scalable — stack VSSL units for 12, 18, or more zones as your system grows

✦ Retrofit-friendly — we install speakers and run wiring in finished homes with minimal disruption

The Finishing Touch

AVA Cinema Remote

The most refined way to control a home theater. One remote. One touch. Total immersion.

One Remote. Zero Complexity.

Effortless control. Cinematic indulgence.

The AVA Cinema Remote replaces every remote in your theater with a single, machined-aluminum device. Its edge-to-edge touchscreen and dynamic keypad adapt to whatever you're controlling — projector, audio, lighting, shades — so the interface always makes sense without hunting for buttons.

AVA OS runs directly on the remote with a built-in octa-core processor — no external controller or processor required. One touch can dim the lights, lower the screen, start the projector, and queue the movie. It's the finishing touch that makes a private cinema feel complete.

✦ Built-in AVA OS — no external processor hardware needed for single-room installs

✦ Dynamic Keypad with 3D glass ring — adapts buttons and labels to the active source

✦ Google Certified — run Spotify, streaming apps, and smart home controls directly on the remote

✦ Built-in mic and speaker for voice control and room-to-room intercom

✦ Supports up to 15,000 devices — scales from a single room to a whole-home system via Nano Brain

✦ Control4 integration via webhook — we've engineered custom button triggers that fire Control4 events through an HTTP listening server, bridging both platforms

✦ Machined aluminum body with magnetic USB-C charging — up to 6 days of battery life

AVA Cinema Remote is available exclusively through certified dealers. As an AVA Certified partner, we handle design, configuration, and installation.

Common Questions

Home Theater & Audio FAQ

How much does a custom home theater cost?

Home theater projects vary widely based on room size, display choice, speaker configuration, acoustic treatment, and seating. A dedicated media room with a quality projector, screen, surround sound, and control typically starts in the mid-five-figure range. We offer free consultations and can design systems across a range of budgets.

What is multi-room audio and how does it work?

Multi-room audio distributes music to speakers throughout your home using a centralized amplifier like the VSSL A.6x. Each zone can play its own source or sync together. You control everything from your phone using apps you already know — Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora — through AirPlay 2, Chromecast, or voice assistants. Read our VSSL overview →

What is the AVA Cinema Remote?

The AVA Cinema Remote is a premium handheld remote with an edge-to-edge touchscreen, dynamic keypad, and built-in AVA OS processor. It controls your entire theater — projector, audio, lighting, shades — from a single device with no external processor required. It supports up to 15,000 devices and runs apps from the Google Play Store. We've also engineered a custom integration between AVA and Control4 using webhooks, so your theater remote can trigger scenes across your entire smart home.

Can I add multi-room audio to my existing home?

Yes. We install in-ceiling and in-wall speakers with minimal disruption to finished spaces. VSSL amplifiers mount in your equipment rack and connect to your existing network. For homes without pre-wired speaker runs, we can run new cabling or use wireless solutions where appropriate.

What speaker brands do you install?

We install Bowers & Wilkins, Klipsch, DALI, Truaudio, Phase Technology, and Bluesound. We match the right speakers to each room based on acoustics, use case, and budget — from architectural in-ceiling speakers to dedicated theater reference systems.
