Custom Home Theater Installation & Design in Richmond, VA

From dedicated theater rooms to refined living-room media systems, we design and install home theaters that balance performance, comfort, and clean integration.

Thoughtful Design & Installation

A great home theater is about more than choosing equipment. Room layout, viewing distance, speaker placement, acoustics, and lighting all play a role in how a system performs and how enjoyable it is to use. At the Audio Exchange, we approach home theater installation as a design process. We take the time to understand your room, how you plan to use the system, and what level of performance you’re looking for, then recommend and install a solution that fits naturally into your space. The result is a system that looks clean, sounds right, and performs the way it should.

AV Receivers, Processors & Calibration

System setup, tuning, and calibration to ensure your home theater sounds and performs the way it should — not just out of the box.

Our Design & Installation Approach

Every home theater is different. Room dimensions, seating layout, lighting conditions, and listening preferences all influence how a system should be designed and installed. Our approach focuses on planning first, ensuring each system fits the space, performs properly, and integrates cleanly into your home.

Consultation & Room Evaluation

We evaluate your room, seating layout, lighting, and usage goals to understand how the system should perform, not just where equipment will go.

System Design & Planning

Screen size, projector placement, speaker layout, and wiring are planned together to create a cohesive system that works with your space.

Professional Installation

Clean mounting, careful wiring, and proper speaker placement ensure the system looks intentional and functions reliably.

Calibration & Final Tuning

Audio and video are calibrated to the room, ensuring balanced sound, accurate imaging, and an immersive viewing experience.

Brands We Design & Install

We choose equipment based on the room, the application, and the level of performance you’re aiming for, not a one-size-fits-all parts list.

This is a partial list. Brand selection varies by project requirements and system goals.
