Mission statement: 

We want people to understand the “why” of what we do. We believe in an experiential and sensory approach to our systems, and that the quality of audio and video reproduction truly matters. A superior level of installation and execution is directly related to the success of that experience, and the ease of use cannot be overstated. It becomes incumbent to carefully listen to the end user. Service is not just another category of business, but is imbedded in the DNA of our company and is the lifeblood of our success. We believe that true collaboration is the purist expression of inspiration. Most importantly we believe that excellence is not an accident or a singular event but a habit that is in turn, rewarded in all measurable ways.

Vision statement: 

We will continue to build on our nearly 30 year history of successes, but in an even more inclusive way. Utilizing our showroom as a vehicle, we will host CEDIA, ASID, AIA and other trade events, sponsor live music concerts, digital art and multi-media exhibits, thereby exposing new audiences to bespoke systems and new technologies. Our aim is to be at the intersection of art and technology.
