Masterpiece Audio Video

What Masterpiece Audio Video does

Masterpiece Audio Video is a custom home electronics and automation integration company serving the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky tri-state area. Founded in 2002 and led by Owner & President Adam Perkins alongside General Manager Aaron Schneider, the company specializes in designing, selling, and installing premium residential A/V systems and home automation solutions. With 11-50 employees and a single headquarters at 2290 Alexandria Pike, Southgate, KY, the business reports 1,000+ completed installations over 15+ years, ranging from single-room home theaters to 25,000 square foot whole-house integrations. The customer base is overwhelmingly high-end residential homeowners, with a secondary commercial segment served via intercom and structured wiring installations.

The company's core technology stack is built on the Control4 home automation platform, where Masterpiece holds the sole Pinnacle-tier dealer status in greater Cincinnati — the highest level of Control4 dealer certification, providing access to advanced training, support, and system integration capabilities for lighting, climate, security, and entertainment control. Beyond Control4, the company sells and installs a broad multi-brand portfolio including CCTV security systems (Digital Watchdog, Honeywell, Pelco, Speco), premium speakers (Paradigm, Klipsch, MartinLogan, Leon Speakers, Origin Acoustics, Sonos), displays and projectors (Samsung, Sony, LG, SIM2, JVC, Epson, Vivitek), audio electronics (Anthem, Marantz, Yamaha), and distribution equipment (AVPro Edge, SnapAV). Core service capabilities include custom home theater design with acoustic treatment, creative hidden A/V installations (TVs behind mirrors, behind paintings), structured wiring for clean cable management, and intercom systems integrated with phone systems.

Masterpiece operates an exclusively direct, sales-led go-to-market model with no retail, e-commerce, or third-party distribution channels. Revenue is generated through one-time project fees covering custom home theater design and installation, Control4 hardware sales, and equipment resale, supplemented by ongoing support and maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based on project scope, beginning with a free initial consultation. Marketing is minimal and concentrated on the company website (masterpieceaudio.com), a phone-driven consultation process, and a project gallery — indicating a relationship-driven business built on 15+ years of local reputation, word-of-mouth referrals, and the protected territory granted by Pinnacle Control4 dealer status.

Direct peers

• Magnolia Audio Video (Best Buy): Best Buy's custom integration division, offering premium home theater, smart home, and automation design and installation services. Direct peer to Masterpiece given overlapping product offerings (Control4, premium audio brands), consultative sales motion, and certified installer model.
• World Wide Stereo: Pennsylvania-based custom A/V retailer and integrator with a similar high-end home theater and smart-home design/install offering. Comparable because both operate a regional consultative model selling premium brands alongside Control4-equivalent automation platforms.
• Audio Advice: North Carolina-based custom integration specialist with showroom, design, and installation services for home theater and whole-house automation. Closely comparable business model to Masterpiece: regional focus, premium-brand portfolio, custom design-led sales motion.
• ListenUp: Colorado-based custom A/V integrator with multi-decade history serving residential and commercial customers. Comparable to Masterpiece as a regional, brand-agnostic integrator carrying premium audio and home automation lines with custom design and certified installation services.
• Bjorn's Audio Video: Texas-based custom home theater and smart-home integrator. Comparable business model: regional premium custom integrator offering multi-brand A/V, Control4-equivalent automation, and creative installation services.
• Hanson Audio Video: Ohio-based regional custom A/V integrator with a similar focus on premium home theater and whole-house automation. Comparable given overlapping regional Midwest footprint, similar customer segment, and shared brand portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Crutchfield: Large national A/V retailer with a custom installation arm. Comparable as an overlapping channel for premium A/V sales, but operates at materially larger scale and broader geography than Masterpiece's regional consultative model.
• Snap One / Control4: Platform provider whose Control4 ecosystem underpins Masterpiece's primary offering. Comparable as the upstream vendor whose dealer network, including Masterpiece, drives Control4's distribution in residential markets.
• Sonos (Pro Installer Channel): Consumer audio platform that Masterpiece resells but which also competes for DIY whole-home audio installations. Comparable because Sonos's increasingly capable wireless ecosystem partially substitutes for the custom-installed multiroom audio work Masterpiece performs.

Others

• AVPro Edge: Supplier of professional A/V distribution and signal-management equipment that Masterpiece resells and integrates. Comparable as an enabling technology partner in Masterpiece's installation stack rather than a direct competitor.
