Audio visual

Home cinema and audio visual installation in North London

Good home cinema is mostly invisible: no cables on show, no tangle of boxes, one remote that works, and sound that suits the room rather than fighting it. We design around the room you have, whether that is a basement snug or a first-floor drawing room.

  • Cables fully concealed
  • Sound tuned to the room
  • One simple remote

North & North West London

Designed for your room, not a showroom

Rooms in this part of London are rarely rectangular boxes with a convenient blank wall. Bay windows, chimney breasts, alcoves and period cornices all shape what is possible, so we start with seating position and screen size and work back to what will actually look and sound right.

Cabling is where installations are won or lost. Power, HDMI and speaker cable go inside the wall or behind the plaster line so nothing hangs below the screen, sources live in a cupboard or alcove, and we leave a spare route for whatever you buy in five years' time.

Sound is set up rather than guessed. Speakers positioned for the seating, levels and distances measured, subwoofer placed where it does not boom into the floor above, and everything consolidated onto one remote or your phone so guests can turn it on without instructions.

Questions we get asked

Home cinema & AV — the details

Do I need a dedicated cinema room?

No. Most of what we fit is in ordinary living rooms and basement snugs, designed to look like furniture rather than equipment.

Projector or big TV?

It depends on light control and viewing distance. In a room you cannot darken, a large screen usually wins.

Can you hide all the cables?

That is the standard we work to. In-wall runs where possible, and neat concealed trunking where the wall cannot be opened.

Can you add music to the kitchen and garden?

Yes. Multi-room audio with weatherproof outdoor speakers is one of our most requested additions.

Will it work with my satellite and streaming boxes?

Yes — we integrate what you already own and consolidate the control so there is one remote, not five.
