Onyx AudioVisual

What Onyx AudioVisual does

Onyx AudioVisual is a privately held U.S. audio-visual systems integrator operating from Norfolk, Virginia, with a regional office in Reston, Virginia. Founded around 1992 and operating for over 30 years nationally and internationally, the firm positions itself as a design-build AV company that consults with clients, designs integrated systems, and physically installs and documents them across corporate, education, government, healthcare, hospitality, event venue, broadcast, and house-of-worship environments. Documented project work includes conference room and podium installations for the Commander, Naval Air Forces, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, indicating a track record with federal and government customers.

The company's product surface is built around three lines. The core AV Solutions line covers the engineering, supply, and integration of projectors, screens, speakers, microphones, video walls, displays, touch screens, digital signage, and control systems. Technical Services extends this with design consulting, structured cabling, and ongoing service and maintenance. Onyx Live! is a separate live event production line that bundles streaming, pro sound, event management, large-display, video production, and graphics design into a managed service offering. An additional e-commerce line, OAV Warehouse (launched January 2021), sells overstock, open-box, and used professional AV products direct online. The technical stack is multi-vendor by design: Onyx holds Core and Key-tier partnerships with Crestron, QSC, Biamp, Sony Professional, Panasonic Professional, LG Professional, Sharp, NEC, Planar, Bose Professional, Nexo, d&b audiotechnik, and a broader list of conferencing, camera, and streaming partners including Zoom, Poly, PTZ Optics, Vaddio, BirdDog, Wirecast, ProPresenter, and Neat.

Onyx monetizes primarily through project-based design-build contracts with custom, quote-based pricing for enterprise and government clients, supplemented by recurring service and maintenance revenue and a smaller e-commerce hardware stream. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, working with architects, engineers, designers, and builders on large facility projects. The firm is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds identified; the only named individual is Tom Beaudry, who manages the Reston office. Tech support headcount is described as holding 35+ industry certifications and 80+ combined years of A/V experience, and the firm employs between 11 and 50 people. No revenue, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or awards are disclosed in the source data.

• Ford Audio-Video: Regional design-build AV integrator covering corporate, government, education, and houses of worship — a near-exact analogue of Onyx's vertical mix and design-build delivery model, though with a larger Texas-rooted footprint.
• HB Communications: Northeast-based AV integration and collaboration services firm serving corporate, education, and government clients. Comparable to Onyx in service breadth and OEM partnerships.
• Whitlock: Mid-Atlantic and Southeast AV integrator specializing in corporate, government, and broadcast environments. Geographic and vertical overlap with Onyx makes it a strong peer.
