Global AV Group

What Global AV Group does

Global AV Group is a private, founder-era audio-visual integration firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Hicksville, NY, that designs, installs, and supports high-end commercial and residential AV systems. Its core service portfolio comprises three lines — Installation & Integration, Consulting Services and Design-Build, and Client Services & Support (including remote monitoring and managed-services programs on month-to-month, annual, and enterprise tiers) — augmented by add-on modules in architectural and theatrical lighting, control systems, digital signage, networking, shading, video conferencing, CCTV, and home theater/smart-home integration. The technology stack is multi-vendor and platform-orchestrated: Crestron DM NVX for AV-over-IP distribution, Control4 for residential and light-commercial automation, Q-SYS as the cloud-manageable audio, video, and control backbone (e.g., 1,000+ speakers at Caesars Palace uncompressed to Q-SYS cores), Powersoft amplification, Lutron lighting and shading, and premium audio brands (1Sound, K-ARRAY, VOID Acoustics, KV2, NNNN, Martin Audio, OJAS) selected per project acoustic and aesthetic requirements.

The firm's customer base is overwhelmingly enterprise hospitality — luxury hotels and casino resorts (Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Paris Las Vegas, Arlo Hotels, Mercer Hotel Barcelona), upscale restaurants and nightlife (STK and The One Group brands, Noble 33's 1587 Prime, COQODAQ, Drai's, Gerber Group, Sunset Hotel, Shack15, Public Records, Fotografiska, The Abbey Weho), retail (Supreme across Brooklyn, LA, San Francisco, Bowery, Milan, Munich), corporate clients, and a smaller residential smart-home practice. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services (consulting, design-build, installation) plus recurring managed-services contracts; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales with a strong word-of-mouth referral dynamic, evidenced by repeat collaborations such as the fourth project with Noble 33 and an exclusive multi-site relationship with The One Group spanning 65+ STK locations supported by a 30-minute nationwide technician response SLA. Operating geographies disclosed are the United States (Northeast, West Coast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest) plus a London, UK presence; the firm is independently owned with no disclosed venture or private equity backing, and no revenue figures are published.
