Start with the right path

Choose the right path for the room, system, or problem.

Whether the job is a new theater, a broken automation system, or a meeting room that cannot fail on Monday morning, the first step is understanding what the room needs and what the system is already doing.

Private theaters, media rooms, whole-home audio, outdoor AV, lighting, shades, racks, Wi-Fi, and smart home control planned as one system.

Residential AV

Clean rooms start with planned systems.

A clean room does not happen by accident. Speaker placement, screen size, rack location, wiring, lighting, network stability, and control all have to be planned before equipment goes on the wall.

Home Theater Media Rooms

Modern living room with wall mounted TV fireplace and high end floorstanding speakers — High-performance audio placed with the room in mind - clean, balanced, and built to belong.

Service & Repair

Diagnose first. Replace only what needs replacing.

When a system stops working, the answer is not parts roulette. We check the rack, power, network, processor, programming, source routing, audio zones, displays, drivers, and how the client actually uses the system.

Control4, Crestron, and Savant recovery

Scenes, remotes, touch panels, processors, source switching, audio zones, and app control.

Rack and signal-flow troubleshooting

Power, source gear, amplification, network, labels, cabling, firmware, and serviceability.

Inherited systems

Systems from previous owners, missing documentation, abandoned programming, and rooms that never worked correctly.

Smart Home / Home Automation

Smart home control that feels natural.

Lighting, shades, audio, video, network, remotes, touch panels, and room names should work together. A smart home should feel natural every day - and when it breaks, the service path should be clear.

Commercial AV

Meeting rooms that are ready before the meeting starts.

Commercial AV has to survive real schedules: Monday meetings, Teams calls, Zoom calls, guest laptops, microphones, cameras, displays, DSP audio, racks, and the people who need it to work without a lesson first.

How Obsidian AV works

Luxury AV is not about selling more boxes. It is about making the system make sense.

Room-first design

We start with the room: seating, screen size, speaker placement, lighting, cable paths, rack location, network stability, and how the client actually uses the system. Equipment comes after the room tells us what it needs.

Diagnosis before replacement

When something is broken, we do not start with parts roulette. We check power, network, processors, source routing, firmware, drivers, audio zones, cabling, control logic, and rack condition before recommending replacement.

Control that feels natural

The app, touch panel, remote, room names, scenes, and shortcuts should match the way the homeowner, office team, or facilities staff actually uses the space.

Serviceable after we leave

A good system should not trap the client. Labels, documentation, clean racks, stable networks, and a clear support path matter because luxury AV has to keep working after the install is complete.
