Home Theater Installation in Austin
Bennett Technologies designs and installs home theaters and media rooms in Austin and Cedar Park. Services include projector and TV installation, surround sound, system upgrades, and remote control setup.
"Bennett Tech designed and installed my media room when we first moved in and I was thrilled. They've also been incredibly responsive (and amazingly patient) with my questions over the years and offered great support and service as I've slowly upgraded various pieces of equipment. Knowledgeable, reliable, and dedicated - I can't say enough about them or recommend them strongly enough."

Design & Installation
Home Theater Design & Surround Sound Installation
We plan your screen size, speaker placement, seating layout, wiring, and controls around your room and budget. Installation includes mounting the TV or projector, connecting the equipment, and setting up the system.
A center speaker makes dialogue easier to hear. Surround speakers carry effects around the room. We position and calibrate the speakers for your seating area and can include Dolby Atmos when the room supports it.
Room lighting and viewing distance help determine whether a large TV or projector fits the space. We explain the options before you choose equipment. Read our home theater planning guide for more on screens, sound, and room layout.

New Rooms & Existing Systems
Media Room Installation & Home Theater Upgrades
A family room can accommodate a large TV, surround sound, and a single remote. A dedicated theater allows more control over lighting, screen placement, and seating. We install both, including rooms that share space with a golf simulator.
We also repair and upgrade existing home theater systems, including installations by other companies. At the Northwest Austin Home, we remodeled the theater with Triad speakers, a laser projector, and an acoustically transparent screen.
For new construction or a remodel, plan speaker, display, and network wiring before drywall. We also install equipment in finished rooms and assess the available cable routes before recommending the work.
Questions, Answered
Home Theater Installation FAQs
Can you install a home theater in a living room?
Yes. We install TVs or projectors, surround sound, and control systems in living rooms and media rooms. Screen size, speaker placement, and wiring depend on the room. A dedicated room gives you more control over lighting and seating.
Should I choose a projector or a large TV?
Room lighting, seating distance, screen size, and budget guide the choice. A large TV often suits a bright living room. A projector can provide a larger image in a room with controlled light. We install both and explain the equipment and installation costs.
Do you install Dolby Atmos surround sound?
Yes. Dolby Atmos adds height effects to surround sound. We assess speaker locations, ceiling access, seating, and equipment compatibility before recommending a layout. The room determines which speaker configuration makes sense.
Can you repair or upgrade a home theater installed by another company?
Yes. We service existing systems, replace failed components, and upgrade speakers, projectors, screens, and controls. We assess the equipment and wiring before recommending repairs or replacements.
How much does home theater installation cost?
Cost depends on the equipment, wiring access, room layout, and installation work. Simple installations are billed hourly, plus equipment and tax; service calls carry a minimum charge. A dedicated theater receives a detailed proposal before work begins. Share your room details, existing equipment, and budget so we can price the scope.
When should home theater wiring be installed in a new house?
Plan the wiring before drywall, while the framing is accessible. This allows us to run speaker, display, and network cables to the planned equipment locations. For finished rooms, we assess access and the available routes for concealed wiring.
