Whole House Audio & Video Installation | Multi-Room AV Systems

Designing & Installing the Best Whole Home Music Systems | Powerful & Flexible

A whole house audio and video system does something deceptively simple extraordinarily well: it makes any content available in any room, controlled simply, with no friction and no compromise in quality.
The same film playing in the cinema room while a different channel runs in the kitchen. Music following you from the bedroom to the pool terrace without interruption. The children watching their own content in the playroom while you listen to music in the living room. Every source — streaming services, satellite television, a Kaleidescape movie server, a vinyl turntable — available anywhere in the home, at the same quality as having the source in the room.
This is what a Custom Controls whole house AV installation delivers. Not a collection of separate systems that happen to share a building, but a single, unified architecture — designed as a whole, installed cleanly, and controlled from one intuitive interface.

Centralised, Distributed, Controlled

Rather than placing source equipment — satellite receivers, streaming devices, Blu-ray players, gaming consoles — in every room, we centralise everything in a single, well-designed equipment rack. From there, any source is distributed to any screen or speaker in the home over high-quality digital infrastructure.
The advantages are significant. One library of content, available everywhere, simultaneously. One set of source equipment to manage, update, and expand. Living spaces that are completely uncluttered by boxes, cables, and remote controls. And a single, unified interface — whether a wall-mounted keypad, touchscreen, or smartphone — that controls everything, everywhere.
Each room operates independently by default. Someone watching a film in one room does not affect another. But rooms can be joined effortlessly — a party mode that fills the house with the same music, or a morning routine that starts audio in the bedroom and carries it through to the kitchen, takes a single button press.
As new devices and services emerge, they are added to the central system and made immediately available throughout the home. Our installations are designed to accommodate this — no rewiring, no disruption, no compromise.

Music Throughout Your Home – Heard in Every Room. Seen in None.

High-quality audio in every room is one of the most consistently praised elements of a whole house installation. In-ceiling and in-wall speakers deliver genuinely impressive sound from positions that are completely invisible — no boxes on shelves, no cables on floors. Outdoor speakers extend music to terraces, pool areas and gardens, weatherproofed and engineered for open acoustic environments.
Zones are entirely flexible. Any room can play any source independently. Multiple rooms can share the same source in perfect sync. A dinner party can fill the ground floor while the upper floors remain quiet. Music follows you through the house or changes by room — the system adapts to how you actually live.
Sources include every major streaming service — Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and others — alongside internet radio, stored music libraries, and analogue sources including vinyl where required. Everything is available everywhere, with no compromise in quality.
What we install:
— In-ceiling and in-wall speakers from Origin Acoustics, Artcoustic and Bowers & Wilkins
— Outdoor weatherproof speaker systems for terraces, pool areas and gardens
— Multi-room amplification from Crestron, Autonomic and Sonos
— Subwoofer integration for key rooms
— Streaming service integration — Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, internet radio
— Vinyl and analogue source integration
— Zone control via keypads, touchscreens, smartphone app, or voice

Video in Every Room – Any Source. Any Screen. Perfect Quality.

Our video distribution systems deliver 4K HDR content from a central source to any screen in the home — with no loss of quality and no reduction in functionality. Satellite television, streaming services, Kaleidescape movie servers, and gaming consoles are all centralised and made available to every display simultaneously. Multiple people can watch different content at the same time from the same source equipment. A film started in the living room can be continued in the bedroom. Recorded television can be watched in the kitchen as easily as in the main sitting room.
Distribution runs over structured cabling infrastructure — the same backbone that carries the network, control, and audio systems. On properties we have wired from the ground up, every room is connected. On retrofit projects, we assess and recommend the most practical and cost-effective approach for the specific property.
Displays are specified and installed by our team. We supply and install televisions from LG, Samsung, and Sony, including OLED and QLED panels at sizes appropriate to each space. All cabling is concealed. Television lift systems — concealing displays within furniture, cabinetry, or at the foot of a bed — are a standard part of our offering for spaces where a screen should be invisible when not in use.
What we install:
— 4K HDR video matrix distribution systems
— Kaleidescape movie servers — the finest home cinema source available
— Television installation and concealment — LG, Samsung, Sony
— TV lift and concealment systems
— Gaming console integration and distribution
— Satellite and streaming source centralisation
— Projector and screen systems for living room cinema installations

Beyond the Interior – Music and Vision, Outdoors.

The AV system does not end at the back door. Terraces, pool areas and gardens are extensions of the living space, and they deserve the same quality of audio and video as the rooms inside. Outdoor audio requires specialist equipment — weatherproof enclosures, appropriate power handling for open-air spaces, and careful placement to account for how sound behaves outside. We have installed outdoor systems ranging from a discreet pair of terrace speakers to a full outdoor audio environment with four cabinet speakers and four in-ground subwoofers at a basketball court. Whatever the scale, the result is consistent: impressive audio that enhances the space without intruding on it.
Outdoor screens — weatherproofed and specified for direct sunlight and British and Mediterranean climates — extend video viewing to pool and terrace areas. All outdoor equipment is installed with the same attention to cable concealment and aesthetic integration as the interior systems.

One Interface. Everything Controlled.

The most sophisticated AV system is worthless if nobody wants to use it. Every Custom Controls installation is designed with this in mind. Day-to-day control is through whichever interface suits the moment. Wall-mounted keypads handle the most common actions — a single press to start music, select a source, join rooms, or turn everything off. Touchscreens provide full system access for more detailed control. And our smartphone app gives complete control from anywhere in the home or anywhere in the world.
For smart home clients, the AV system integrates fully with Crestron, Control4 or Savant — a single interface controls not just audio and video, but lighting, climate, blinds, security, and every other system in the home. Arriving home, entertaining, watching a film, going to bed — scenes that set everything perfectly with a single interaction.
Voice control integration with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri is available across all platforms.
