Bring Every Room Together with Whole-Home Audio & Video
Walk into any room of your home and experience music and entertainment exactly as you want it. With Sound Decision’s whole-home audio and video systems, your home becomes a seamless environment where sound and visuals fill your interior spaces. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party in Pasadena, relaxing with family in San Marino, or working from home in Altadena, entertainment is always at your fingertips.
Our approach to technology enhances the way you live. By consolidating your favorite streaming services, media sources, and controls into one simple system, we eliminate the clutter and complexity that often comes with modern entertainment. Each multi-room audio and video system is beautifully integrated and easy to enjoy. The result is an elegant, reliable, and intuitive AV solution that makes every room in your home more inviting.
Multi-Room Audio That Blends with Your Home
Hidden Speakers, Clear Sound
Your favorite music should be heard, not seen. That’s why we specialize in discreet in-ceiling and in-wall speakers that deliver crisp, balanced sound without disrupting your home’s design. Speakers virtually disappear into your architecture, providing effortless audio while preserving the aesthetics of your living spaces.
Flexible Zones & Scenes
Every family member has their own taste in music, and with flexible audio zones, everyone can listen to what they love, wherever they are. Stream a podcast in your office, let the kids enjoy playlists in the game room, or play one soundtrack across the entire house for special gatherings. With customizable scenes, a single touch sets the mood for any occasion.
Video Distribution Without the Clutter
Today’s homes demand a streamlined look. No more stacks of boxes, unsightly wires, or multiple remotes. With Sound Decision’s video distribution systems, all your sources, Apple TV, cable, Blu-ray, or streaming services, live in one central rack, neatly tucked away. Using advanced matrix switching and HDMI-over-IP technology, you can access any video source on any TV in your home, instantly. The result? Clean walls, hidden equipment, and total control from a single app or remote.
Control & Smart Integration
Whole-home audio and video shouldn’t live in isolation; they should be part of a connected living experience. Our AV systems integrate seamlessly with lighting, motorized shading, security, and climate control. That means you can dim the lights, lower the shades, and cue up a movie all from one interface. With training provided at installation, intuitive apps, and future-ready expandability, you’ll have peace of mind and effortless luxury every day.
Best of all, your system grows with you, adapting to new devices and emerging technologies without disruption. If you’re adding a new room, upgrading your lighting, or expanding outdoor entertainment, your Sound Decision system is designed to evolve alongside your lifestyle.

FAQs
What is a whole-home audio & video system, and how is it different from a single-room setup?
A whole-home system distributes music and video to every room from one central hub. Unlike a single-room setup, you don’t need multiple boxes or remotes, just one app or control panel for the entire house.
Can you use my existing speakers or TVs and expand them into a whole-home system?
We often integrate existing TVs or speakers with new distribution equipment. We’ll assess your gear during the design phase and let you know what can stay and what should be upgraded.
How do you ensure reliable Wi-Fi for streaming in larger Pasadena and San Marino homes?
We design the network first, using a mix of wired connections and managed Wi-Fi 6/6E access points. This ensures strong coverage and seamless roaming in homes of any size.
Will walls or older construction in Altadena homes limit what’s possible?
Our team specializes in retrofit installations and new builds alike. We use wireless distribution, surface-mounted options, and creative routing to respect the integrity of older homes.
What happens after install — do you offer remote support and tune-ups?
We provide training at hand-off and remain available for remote troubleshooting, software updates, and in-person service as needed.
