Whole Home Audio
Music where you live: architectural speakers tuned room by room, playing from the apps you already use, indoors and out.
"The finished product sounds amazing. I received multiple quotes from AV companies and Bennett was the most reasonable and their work was wonderful. Will be using again."

Why It Works
Music that lives in the house.
The playlist starts on a portable speaker in the kitchen. Someone carries it to the patio, a phone call comes in, and the music dies with it. Bluetooth ties the sound to one person's phone, so the whole house waits on one pocket.
Whole-home audio builds the sound into the house itself: architectural speakers overhead wire back to amplifiers in a rack, each room becomes its own zone, and the music streams over your network from the apps you already use. Anyone at home can play to any room from their own phone.
Volume steps evenly from room to room because each one is tuned on installation day. The music follows you down the hallway without a jump or a dropout.
What We Install
Inside, outside, out of sight.
Start with one room. The rack and wiring are planned so the next room is a short visit away.
The Standard
Heard everywhere. Seen almost nowhere.
Good whole-home audio is planned into the house: speaker placement matched to each room, volume that steps evenly from kitchen to patio, and sources that follow you from room to room. At the Kingsland Residence, custom-painted grills match each speaker to the surface around it, minimizing their appearance throughout the home.
It all runs on the wiring and network underneath, which is why an audio project with us starts the same place every project does: the foundation.
Questions, Answered
Whole-home audio, answered
Will it play the apps and playlists we already use?
Yes. The system streams from the services you already subscribe to, and anyone at home can send music to any room from their own phone. Group every zone for a party, or run different music in the kitchen, the office, and the patio at the same time.
Can you add whole-home audio to a finished house?
Yes. Ceiling speakers retrofit cleanly in most homes: we fish wire through attics and walls, keeping the openings we make to a minimum. New construction is easier still, which is why we prewire during framing whenever we get the chance.
Will speakers survive outside in Texas?
The right ones do. We install outdoor-rated speakers under eaves and patio ceilings, and landscape speakers that live in the planting beds year-round, like the garden system at the Marble Falls Retreat with its in-ground subwoofer.
Will we see the speakers?
Barely. Architectural speakers mount flush with the ceiling, and we can often color-match the grills, so they blend in far better than in-room speakers. Truly invisible speakers exist too, but they give up sound quality for the vanishing act, so we recommend them only when the look matters more than the listening.
Someone else installed our audio system. Can you service it?
Yes. Service calls on systems installed by other companies are a normal part of our week. We diagnose, repair, and, when you want more, expand what is already in the walls.
What does whole-home audio cost?
The honest answer is a range. A service call carries a minimum charge, and a simple install runs on an hourly basis plus equipment and tax. A whole-property system gets a detailed proposal, documented room by room with real numbers, before you commit. Audio scales room by room, so you can start with two zones and grow. Share your budget and we tailor the system to fit it.
How We Work
From first walkthrough to years of support.
-
01
Consult
A conversation and a walkthrough. We learn how you use your spaces and what a win looks like for you.
-
02
Design
A documented plan: equipment, wiring, and budget, agreed on paper before anything is installed.
-
03
Install
Certified technicians run the wire, mount the gear, and program the system to the approved design.
-
04
Support
Remote monitoring and a real person to call. We service systems for years, including ones we did not install.
