Home Theater, Media Room, and Residential AV Design in Houston
Residential AV should disappear into the room until you use it. We plan the screen, speakers, wiring, rack, network, lighting, control, and service access before equipment is selected.
What we handle
Home Theater, Media Room, and Residential AV Design in Houston without the guesswork.
Room-first design
Screen size, seating distance, speaker placement, lighting, acoustics, cable paths, and rack location.
Clean installation
Displays, projectors, speakers, subwoofers, equipment racks, wiring, power, and network infrastructure.
Control that makes sense
Control4, Crestron, Savant, lighting, shades, audio, video, scenes, app layouts, and remotes.
Serviceable systems
Documentation, labels, rack layout, remote support, and troubleshooting paths for the future.
Next step
Start with the room. We will design the system around it.
We can help with new installation, programming, repair, service recovery, upgrades, documentation, and support.
Home theater and media room design
Build the room as one complete audio, video, lighting, and control system.
A finished residential AV system begins with the room. We coordinate sightlines, screen size, projector or display selection, speaker locations, subwoofer placement, acoustic behavior, lighting, ventilation, wiring, equipment racks, network access, and everyday control before the final equipment list is approved.
- Dedicated theaters and media rooms designed around seating and viewing distance.
- Whole-home audio and two-channel listening spaces tuned for the room.
- Outdoor television and audio systems planned for coverage, weather, and control.
- Clean racks, labeled wiring, stable networks, and support access built into the design.
Listening spaces that feel intentional
Audio should have scale, focus, and balance without taking over the room.
We look beyond speaker count. Room dimensions, listening position, reflection points, amplification, subwoofer integration, source quality, gain structure, and calibration determine whether a system simply makes sound or creates a convincing experience.

Outdoor AV →Residential design philosophy
Designed around the room, the listening position, and the way the space is used.
Theater and media rooms
Projection, screen geometry, display height, speaker layout, subwoofer placement, seating distance, lighting control, ventilation, and control are planned together so the room feels finished instead of assembled piece by piece.
Whole-home audio
Music should feel even as you move through the house. We look at room size, ceiling height, speaker type, zone grouping, amplification, source selection, and volume behavior so the system feels natural.
Smart home control
Control4, Crestron, and Savant should simplify daily use: watch, listen, entertain, close shades, set lighting, and leave the house without hunting through confusing buttons.
Clean finish
Visible gear should look intentional. Hidden gear should be serviceable. The rack, wiring, labels, airflow, and network are part of the finished result, even when the client never sees them.
How Obsidian AV works
A refined AV system is measured by how naturally the room performs.
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.
System evaluation and upgrade planning
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.
Residential AV proof
Premium AV should look built into the home, not added onto it.
Restored project photos give residential pages the visual credibility they need while keeping the existing SEO structure intact.
