Audio video installation in Dallas, TX is where entertainment meets craftsmanship. Dallas homeowners invest in AV experiences that match the scale and quality of their homes — from dedicated home theaters in Highland Park estates to multi-room Sonos systems in Uptown condos. At Complete Elite Technologies, owner Matt Box has been designing and installing custom AV systems across Dallas for more than 20 years. We handle system design, equipment sourcing, low-voltage wiring, installation, calibration, and ongoing support so you get a system that sounds incredible, looks clean, and works reliably every day.
Whether you need a 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos theater for your Preston Hollow media room, a whole-home Sonos system for your Lakewood renovation, or commercial AV for your Dallas restaurant — CET designs systems that fit the space and the budget. No subcontractors. Call (972) 807-0075 for a free design consultation.
Our Dallas home theater installations range from living room upgrades with a 4K projector and 5.1 surround sound to purpose-built, acoustically treated theater rooms with 4K laser projection, Dolby Atmos ceiling speakers, acoustic panels, tiered seating, and smart lighting. We work with Sony, JVC, and Epson for projection, and Stewart Filmscreen and Screen Innovations for screens.
Multi-room audio lets you play music in every room from a single app. We install Sonos In-Ceiling and In-Wall speakers for a clean, invisible look. For audiophile-grade performance, we install Bowers & Wilkins and KEF architectural speakers powered by dedicated amplifiers. Klipsch in-wall speakers deliver high-efficiency sound with warm, dynamic character — concert-level impact at a more accessible price point. A typical 4–6 zone whole-home audio system runs $3,000–$8,000 installed.
Modern surround sound goes far beyond 5.1. We design Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive audio systems that place sound objects in three-dimensional space. A 7.2.4 Atmos configuration uses four ceiling-mounted speakers to create a dome of sound that tracks action across the screen. For rooms where ceiling installation is impractical, Dolby Atmos-enabled upfiring modules bounce sound off the ceiling for a similar immersive effect.
We install HDMI-over-IP and HDBaseT matrix switching systems that let you watch any source (cable box, Apple TV, Blu-ray) on any TV in the house. One equipment rack, clean wiring, and a single remote or app to control everything. No more dedicated boxes for every TV.
Dallas homeowners live outdoors 8 months of the year. We install weatherproof outdoor speakers (Sonance, Coastal Source, Origin Acoustics), outdoor TVs (SunBrite, Samsung The Terrace), and patio AV systems designed to handle Texas heat, rain, and UV exposure.
From conference rooms with video conferencing to restaurants with distributed audio and menu-board displays, CET designs AV for Dallas businesses. Our commercial clients include a Honda dealership, a Volkswagen dealership, and a Chick-fil-A.
A media room is a multipurpose space — it doubles as a family room or entertaining area. It typically features a large 75–85” TV or short-throw projector, 5.1.2 Atmos sound, comfortable seating, and ambient lighting. Windows stay, the room stays open to the house, and acoustic treatment is minimal. Budget: $8,000–$25,000.
A dedicated home theater is a purpose-built, light-controlled room optimized exclusively for cinematic viewing. It features a 4K laser projector on a 120”+ screen, 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos, full acoustic treatment, tiered seating, blackout conditions, and smart automation. Budget: $25,000–$75,000+. Learn more on our home theater installation page.
Many Dallas homeowners build both — a casual media room on the main floor for everyday use, and a dedicated theater in the bonus room for serious movie nights.
A high-performance AV system is only as reliable as the network behind it. Streaming 4K to multiple TVs, controlling distributed audio, and managing smart home automation all depend on robust network infrastructure. Most consumer Wi-Fi routers cannot handle 20+ connected devices.
CET installs enterprise-grade network cabling as part of every major AV project: Cat6A structured wiring to every TV and speaker zone, commercial-grade wireless access points (Ubiquiti, Ruckus), managed switches with VLAN segmentation, and dedicated AV network drops. Proper networking eliminates buffering and dropped connections.
Home Values Demand It: In Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow, and Lakewood, a well-designed AV system is expected in homes above $750K. Buyers notice invisible in-wall speakers versus a soundbar on a shelf.
Dallas is a Sports & Entertainment City: Cowboys, Mavericks, Rangers, Stars — a home theater with 4K projection and Dolby Atmos makes every game day an event.
Outdoor Living: Covered patios, outdoor kitchens, and pool areas are standard. Outdoor AV extends your entertainment year-round through 105-degree summers and North Texas thunderstorms.
Clean, Hidden Installations: Nobody wants wire tangles and stacked black boxes. We use in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, concealed wiring, equipment racks in closets, and wireless control. The technology disappears.
We also install AV in Rockwall, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Preston Hollow, and 40+ other DFW cities.
Owner-Operated: Matt Box designs and installs every system. No sales handoffs, no subcontractors.
Licensed & Insured: Texas Alarm License #B12702301 | ACR License #2536735. Fully bonded and insured.

Yes. We install Sonos and Sonance in-ceiling speakers by routing wire through attics and wall cavities. For homes where new wire is impractical, Sonos wireless speakers provide excellent multi-room audio without wiring. Most retrofit installations take 1–2 days.
We recommend a 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos configuration with Bowers & Wilkins or KEF in-wall speakers, dual subwoofers, four Atmos height channels, and a Denon or Marantz receiver. For rooms without ceiling access, DTS:X with upfiring modules is an excellent alternative. Read our full surround sound installation guide.
Yes. CET designs commercial AV for conference rooms, restaurants, retail stores, and auto dealerships. Our clients include a Honda dealership, a VW dealership, and a Chick-fil-A. We handle distributed audio, video walls, digital signage, and video conferencing.
Absolutely. CET integrates AV with Control4, Savant, and Lutron. Press “Movie Night” and the projector turns on, screen drops, lights dim, shades close, receiver switches to Apple TV. Seamless one-touch control from one app. Learn more about our home automation services in Dallas.
TV mounting takes half a day. Whole-home audio takes 1–2 days. A complete media room or theater takes 2–5 days depending on acoustic treatment and automation integration.
Both technologies distribute video from a central rack to TVs throughout your home. HDBaseT sends uncompressed 4K video over Cat6 up to 328 feet — ideal for most Dallas homes. HDMI-over-IP uses your network infrastructure and scales to virtually unlimited zones, making it better for very large estates. CET evaluates your layout and recommends the right technology.
In most cases, yes. Streaming 4K to multiple TVs, running a video matrix, and controlling smart home devices requires more bandwidth than a consumer Wi-Fi router provides. CET installs Cat6A structured wiring and enterprise-grade wireless access points as part of major AV projects.
You can buy a Sonos speaker at Best Buy and set it up yourself. Here is what CET brings to a Dallas AV project beyond DIY:
Read our detailed comparison: How to Choose the Best AV Installation Company in DFW.
Dallas homeowners use outdoor spaces 8-9 months of the year, making outdoor AV one of our most requested services. Proper outdoor AV requires equipment rated for Dallas temperature extremes (20 to 110+ degrees), UV exposure, rain, and humidity. Consumer speakers marketed as “weather resistant” typically fail within 1-2 years in the Dallas climate.
We install Sonance landscape speakers buried in garden beds for invisible yard audio, Coastal Source bollard speakers for patios and pool areas, and SunBrite and Samsung The Terrace outdoor TVs with anti-glare screens. Every system includes weatherproof speaker wire, UV-resistant cable jackets, and marine-grade connections built to last a decade in Texas conditions.
If you are building a new Dallas home or renovating an existing one, the AV pre-wire stage is critical. Running speaker wire, HDMI, Cat6, and coax cable before drywall goes up costs a fraction of retrofit wiring — and gives you cleaner results with more flexibility. CET coordinates with your builder, architect, and interior designer to ensure every speaker location, TV position, and equipment rack location is placed exactly right.
For renovations where walls are already closed, we route cables through attics, crawlspaces, and wall cavities using specialized fishing tools. Our team has retrofitted AV systems in 1920s Tudor homes in Highland Park, 1950s ranch homes in Lakewood, and modern townhomes in Uptown — each with unique structural challenges that require experience to solve cleanly.
CET installs audio video systems throughout the Dallas metropolitan area. Our service area extends from downtown Dallas through the Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Lakewood, and Lake Highlands, north to Richardson, Plano, Allen, McKinney, and Frisco. East of Dallas, we serve Rockwall, Rowlett, Heath, Caddo Mills, and Greenville. Our Caddo Mills headquarters means faster response times to eastern Dallas than competitors based on the west side.
