Residential AV
Residential AV 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
Residential AV Houston without the guesswork.
Screen size, seating distance, speaker placement, lighting, acoustics, cable paths, and rack location.
Displays, projectors, speakers, subwoofers, equipment racks, wiring, power, and network infrastructure.
Control4, Crestron, Savant, lighting, shades, audio, video, scenes, app layouts, and remotes.
Documentation, labels, rack layout, remote support, and troubleshooting paths for the future.

Residential design philosophy
Designed around the room, not dropped into it.
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
Great AV is not about adding more equipment. 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.
