What Beyond Audio does
Beyond Audio is a luxury residential technology integrator founded in 1995, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, with a secondary location in Kelowna, British Columbia. The company designs, engineers, and installs custom home automation, theater, lighting, video wall, outdoor entertainment, and enterprise-grade network systems for ultra-high-net-worth homeowners across the Southwest US (Scottsdale, Las Vegas, Tucson), Hawaii, and Western Canada. Its core technology stack is built around authorized dealer relationships at the highest tiers for Crestron and Control4 home automation, Lutron lighting and shading, Just Video Walls direct-view LED, Focal and James Loudspeaker audio, MadVR video processing, Kaleidescape media servers, Access Networks and Araknis networking, and Coastal Source weatherized outdoor systems — combined into a single unified platform per home, with a six-step engagement process from Discovery through Ongoing Service.
The business operates on a project-based installation model with typical whole-home Scottsdale projects ranging $200K–$500K and flagship installs exceeding $1M, plus a tiered recurring service plan offering (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Concierge) for ongoing monitoring, firmware updates, on-site support, and proactive maintenance. Go-to-market is exclusively direct and consultative: in-home Discovery meetings, a by-appointment Scottsdale showroom with live working demonstrations of all major systems, and an online Budget Calculator for lead qualification. The company is independently owned by founder Ryan Dockrill with Mike Ohman as President, holds HTA Certified Estate and BBB Accredited credentials, maintains a 5.0-star rating across 71 Google reviews, and reports 145,000 Instagram followers. No public funding rounds, M&A, or outside investors are disclosed.

Revenue model
- Custom Installation Projects: Bespoke design and installation of luxury home automation, theater, lighting, video wall, and outdoor systems. Each project is engineered from scratch around the client's home, taste, and budget. Pricing varies widely by scope — whole-home Scottsdale projects commonly range from $200K to $500K, with flagship installs (e.g., $8M mansion with 156-inch LED video wall) reaching well beyond $1M. Hardware (equipment from Crestron, Lutron, Focal, etc.) and professional design/installation labor are bundled into a transparent proposal.
- Service Plans (Recurring): Tiered service/maintenance agreements (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Concierge) providing remote monitoring, firmware updates, on-site support hours, priority response, and proactive maintenance. Quoted custom per home based on system complexity, number of zones, and brand mix. Revenue is recurring in nature as clients renew plans year-over-year. Most whole-home automation clients elect a plan.
- Hardware Resale: Authorized resale of premium AV, automation, networking, and lighting equipment from partner brands (Crestron, Control4, Lutron, Focal, Sony, Samsung, Coastal Source, Just Video Walls, Kaleidescape, MadVR, Anthem, AudioControl, Access Networks, AV Pro Edge, James Loudspeaker). Margins on equipment are incorporated into project proposals.
