Professional Audio / Video Installation in San Diego
A great audio/video system is about more than purchasing a television, receiver, or set of speakers. Equipment selection, speaker placement, room layout, wiring, acoustics, networking, control, and proper configuration all affect the finished experience.
SD-IS evaluates the room, your goals, and the way you plan to use the system before recommending equipment. Whether your priority is movie performance, music throughout the house, a clean television installation, or an easy-to-use business presentation system, we can build the solution around you.
Home Theater Design and Installation
Bring the movie theater experience into your home with a professionally designed home theater system. SD-IS can provide complete home theater design and installation for dedicated theater rooms, media rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, and other entertainment spaces.
Depending on the room and your goals, a home theater system may include:
- Large-screen televisions and projection systems
- Surround sound and immersive audio systems
- In-wall and in-ceiling speakers
- AV receivers, processors, and amplifiers
- Subwoofers and bass management
- Streaming media players and other sources
- Equipment racks and centralized electronics
- Lighting control and automated window shades
- Integrated remote control and automation
A properly programmed system can make all of this technology easy to use. One command can turn on the display, power the audio system, select the correct source and inputs, adjust the volume, dim the lights, and close the shades for movie viewing.
Whole-Home and Multi-Room Audio
Enjoy music throughout your home without placing portable speakers in every room. SD-IS designs and installs whole-home and multi-room audio systems using architectural speakers, centralized amplification, streaming music sources, and easy-to-use controls.
Different rooms can listen to the same music or, depending on the system design, play different sources independently. Volume can be controlled by wall controls, touchscreens, remotes, smartphones, tablets, or a centralized automation system.
Whole-home audio can be designed for kitchens, living areas, bedrooms, offices, garages, patios, outdoor entertaining areas, and virtually any other space where you want convenient access to music.
TV Installation and Video Systems
A professional television installation involves more than mounting a display to the wall. SD-IS considers viewing distance, mounting height, wall construction, cable routing, equipment placement, power requirements, networking, and how the television will connect to the rest of the system.
We can provide solutions for:
- Wall-mounted televisions
- Large-format displays
- Streaming devices
- AV receivers and sound systems
- Hidden or remotely located equipment
- HDMI and network connectivity
- Multiple displays and video distribution
- Integrated remote control
Where appropriate, AV components can be located in a centralized equipment rack so the room remains clean and uncluttered.
Simple Remote Control and Automation
One of the most frustrating parts of many entertainment systems is having several devices that each require a different remote or application. SD-IS can simplify the experience with professionally programmed audio/video automation and control.
Instead of remembering which devices need to be turned on and which inputs need to be selected, a command such as “Watch TV,” “Movie,” or “Listen to Music” can automatically configure the system for you.
Control can be provided through handheld remotes, touchscreens, tablets, smartphones, keypads, or other interfaces depending on the system.
Outdoor Audio and Entertainment
Your entertainment system does not have to stop at the back door. SD-IS provides outdoor audio and video solutions for patios, pools, outdoor kitchens, entertaining areas, and other exterior spaces.
Outdoor systems can include weather-resistant speakers, landscape audio, buried or outdoor subwoofers, outdoor televisions, streaming music, amplification, and convenient volume and source control.
Outdoor entertainment can also integrate with outdoor Wi-Fi, lighting, and automation so the entire space is easy to operate.
Commercial Audio / Video Systems
SD-IS also provides professional audio/video systems for businesses, offices, restaurants, conference rooms, retail spaces, and other commercial environments.
Commercial AV solutions can include:
- Conference room displays and presentation systems
- Televisions and commercial displays
- Background and distributed audio
- Meeting and presentation audio
- Multi-zone music systems
- Centralized equipment and AV racks
- Automated system startup and shutdown
- Digital signage and digital menu displays
Our focus is making commercial systems dependable and simple enough that employees can operate them without needing technical assistance for everyday tasks.
Conference Room Audio / Video
A well-designed conference room should allow someone to walk in and begin a presentation or meeting without struggling with cables, inputs, remotes, or complicated equipment.
SD-IS can integrate displays, audio equipment, source devices, control systems, and network connectivity into an easy-to-use conference room solution. Depending on the application, room controls can automate display power, input selection, audio levels, lighting, and other frequently used functions.
Distributed Audio and Video
For larger homes and businesses, audio and video sources can be centralized and distributed to multiple rooms or displays. This can reduce equipment clutter and make systems easier to manage.
A properly designed distributed AV system considers cable distances, signal requirements, video resolution, network bandwidth, equipment cooling, control, and future expansion.
SD-IS can design the supporting structured cabling and low-voltage infrastructure and equipment rack required for reliable operation.
The Network Is Part of Today’s AV System
Streaming services, smart televisions, network-controlled receivers, music systems, automation controllers, and many other modern AV devices depend on a reliable network.
SD-IS can design or upgrade your wired network and Wi-Fi system so your entertainment equipment has the connectivity it needs. This can include routers, network switches, wireless access points, Ethernet cabling, equipment racks, and remote management.
Considering the network during the AV design process helps prevent buffering, unreliable streaming, communication problems, and other issues that can make an otherwise excellent system frustrating to use.
New Construction and Prewiring
New construction and remodeling provide an ideal opportunity to plan your audio/video system before the walls are closed. SD-IS can help determine speaker locations, television locations, equipment rack placement, network requirements, conduit, control wiring, and other infrastructure before construction is completed.
Our structured cabling and low-voltage services can provide the foundation for audio/video, networking, surveillance, automation, and other technology systems throughout the property.
Upgrading Existing Audio / Video Systems
You do not necessarily need to replace everything to improve an existing system. SD-IS can evaluate your current equipment and determine which components can continue to be used and which upgrades would provide a meaningful improvement.
Common upgrades include new televisions, streaming devices, AV receivers, speakers, subwoofers, remote-control systems, networking equipment, or modernizing older distributed audio systems.
We can also simplify systems that have become unnecessarily complicated after years of equipment additions and changes.
Professional Design, Installation and Support
SD-IS handles the entire audio/video process, from initial system design through installation and final programming. We carefully configure and test the system and show you how to use it before the project is complete.
Because we also work with automation, networking, lighting, surveillance, and structured cabling, we can approach the project as one complete technology system rather than treating each component separately.
