Residential AV
AV rooms should feel designed, not assembled.
Private theaters, media rooms, listening rooms, and whole-home audio need more than expensive gear. Speaker placement, screen size, lighting, acoustics, rack location, wiring, ventilation, network stability, and control all have to work together.
Home theater and media room design built around the room, the seating, and the way the system is actually used.
Whole-home audio, outdoor AV, lighting control, motorized shades, Wi-Fi, and clean rack infrastructure planned as one system.
Service & Repair
No parts cannon. No vague maybes. A real diagnosis.
Pretty equipment does not mean much if the room drops audio, the app stops responding, the rack is a mess, or nobody can explain why the system keeps failing.
We diagnose the system before we blame the gear.
We explain the actual failure path in plain English.
We leave you with a clear resolution, not a mystery invoice.
Smart Home + Lighting
Technology should adapt to you. Not fight you.
A smart home should bring lighting, shades, audio, video, climate, locks, gates, pool controls, and security into one clean experience. The interface, scenes, buttons, rooms, and workflows should feel like they were built around the homeowner.
Control4, Crestron, Savant, Lutron lighting, motorized shades, and custom control interfaces.
Recover inherited systems without starting by ripping everything out.
Design scenes around real life: Good Morning, Entertain, Movie Night, Goodnight, and Away.
Commercial AV
Conference rooms should not fail when the meeting starts.
Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, huddle rooms, boardrooms, town halls, video walls, DSP audio, microphones, cameras, displays, networks, and racks need to work together without making the room harder to use.
Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, dual displays, cameras, microphones, and DSP audio.
Video walls, commercial displays, AV-over-IP, rack infrastructure, and network-aware AV design.
How Obsidian AV works
Great AV is not about selling more boxes. It is about making the system make sense.
We start with the room, the user, the wiring, the network, the rack, and the failure path. Then we design, repair, program, or upgrade what actually needs to change.
01 / Listen
Understand the system
What works, what does not, how the client uses it, and what previous installers left behind.
02 / Diagnose
Find the root issue
Power, network, processors, source routing, audio zones, firmware, drivers, and programming.
03 / Design
Plan the fix
Clean system design, serviceable racks, stable networks, and control that makes sense.
04 / Support
Keep it working
Documentation, labels, logic, and a support path that does not leave the client stuck.
