Colortone Audio Visual

What Colortone Audio Visual does

Colortone Audio Visual is an independent audiovisual integration firm headquartered in Port Chester, New York, serving the New York City, Southern Westchester County, and Western Connecticut region. Founded around 1950, the company designs, supplies, and installs AV systems — including audio, video, presentation, collaboration, video wall/digital signage, and network-based IP-controlled equipment — for corporate, education, healthcare, financial services, legal, and government clients. The firm is technology-agnostic, deliberately not reselling any single brand, and positions itself as delivering large-integrator service quality to mid-market organizations.

The company generates revenue through four streams: (1) one-time project-based system design and installation, (2) Colortone Shield, a subscription-based AV-as-a-Service offering launched in 2016 that bundles hardware with maintenance, support, solution replacement guarantee, and Act of God coverage, (3) managed technical services and preventative maintenance (including for non-Colortone systems), and (4) project management/consultancy including CAD drawings, design specifications, and architect coordination. Pricing is quote-based for installations and monthly for Shield subscriptions; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Colortone is led by President CEO Olivier Peardon alongside a senior team averaging 30+ years of tenure — VP Operations Steven Bodner, VP Sales Steven Grosskopf, and Sales Director Joseph Lemischak — supported by CTS-D, CQD, and Zoom installer certifications. The company maintains industry memberships in USAV GROUP and AVIXA, counts enterprise clients such as JP Morgan Chase, Capital One, Mount Sinai Hospital, BAE Systems, and Northwell Health among its project portfolio, and operates with a small (1-10 employee), high-touch delivery model targeting clients seeking premium service without large-integrator overhead.
