How it works
Plan the layout
We assess the room shape, seating position, and speaker types to map the optimal placement for front, center, surround, and height channels.
Install and connect
We mount speakers, run cables, and connect every component to the receiver, then power everything on and confirm signal paths.
Calibrate and test
We run the receiver's auto-calibration if available, balance speaker levels by ear, and play content to confirm the full system sounds as expected.
We can help
Problems we fix
- No in-wall wiring requiring surface cable management
- HDMI arc and eARC compatibility issues between the TV and receiver
- Subwoofer placement causing bass buildup in corners
- Ceiling or in-wall speaker rough-in work needed before mounting

Home Theater Setup — FAQ
Will you hide all the cables?
We route cables as cleanly as possible — along baseboards with cable raceways, behind walls where feasible, and through furniture. Fully in-wall routing for every cable depends on your room layout, which we plan together.
Can you set up a soundbar instead of full surround?
Absolutely. We connect and configure soundbars, add rear wireless speakers where supported, and make sure your TV is passing audio correctly through HDMI-ARC.
Do you tune the system after setting it up?
Yes. We run the receiver's built-in room calibration (Audyssey, MCACC, or similar) and do a manual check to confirm dialogue, music, and effects all sound balanced.
What if I need in-wall speaker rough-in first?
We can cut the openings and fish wire during the same visit. Just mention it when you book so we can plan the extra time.
