What Audiovisions does

Audiovisions is a California-based luxury smart-home integrator founded in 1989 that designs, engineers, installs, and services integrated technology systems for high-end residential properties. The firm operates four experience-center showrooms across the state—Irvine (Orange County), Westlake Village (Los Angeles), San Rafael (Northern California), and Palm Desert—supported by a field-sales team of regional Technology Advisors and market leaders, plus a dedicated trade-partner channel serving architects, interior designers, and custom builders.

The company's core offering is not a single proprietary product but an integration layer that unifies third-party platforms—Savant, Control4, and Crestron for automation; Lutron and Ketra for lighting and shading; Josh.ai for voice control; Sonos, Sony, McIntosh, Wisdom Audio, and Sonance for audio/video; Seura for specialty displays; Coastal Source for outdoor AV; and Savant Power for energy management—into a single controllable system covering lighting, motorized shades, home theater, whole-home audio/video, networking, security, wellness (circadian lighting, air/water purification), and energy monitoring. Audiovisions positions itself as a design-first integrator whose technology should be practically invisible and architecturally sympathetic, with project work beginning at the design phase alongside architects and builders.

Audiovisions earns revenue through three primary streams: (1) project-based hardware sales and installation fees for custom smart-home systems, with pricing delivered via bespoke quotes; (2) recurring revenue from tiered Service Plans offering 24/7 support, proactive monitoring, remote repair, and software updates; and (3) professional services for consultation, system engineering documentation, and project management. Marketing combines content/SEO across 40+ California community landing pages, trade-partner referrals, industry-association memberships (HTA, CEDIA, ASID, AIA, ALA), and showroom visits. There are no public revenue disclosures, and the firm is privately held with no identified external institutional ownership.
