Enjoy High-Performance Home Entertainment with Hidden Technology
Retain Your Home’s Design While Immersed in Incredible Images & Sound
Some clients relish the beauty and detailed sound of high-fidelity tower loudspeakers. These stereo systems, however, are often relegated to the designated listening room because of the awe-inspiring audio equipment that can also detract from a home’s overall design.
In much the same way, large 4K HDR TVs find their way to media rooms, and TVs in bedrooms soon relocate to the basement. There’s a fine line between experiencing the best today’s home entertainment offers and feeling like our homes have become an audio-video mecca instead of the serene retreat we once envisioned.
There is a better way.
Thanks to today’s high-performance AV manufacturers and hidden technology, you can have the “best of both worlds.” Let’s explore how homeowners in Darien, CT, enjoy the best entertainment while retaining their home’s beautiful design.

Hidden Audio Systems
As the demand for premier home entertainment that left a home's design intact grew, leading high-fidelity audio producers stepped up. As a result, the latest in-ceiling and in-wall speakers offer incredibly detailed, high-quality sound without the clutter of floor-standing or bookshelf speakers.
These speakers range from nearly invisible to unseen. For example, grills can be painted with the same paint as the surrounding area or even plastered or wallpapered to disappear entirely. The result is high-fidelity audio from an unseen source, surrounding and following you from room to room.
Landscape speakers can carry this impressive audio outside for those who enjoy relaxing in their outdoor spaces. These speakers are strategically installed throughout the foliage and along pathways, blending in by looking like landscape lights. In-ground subwoofers are felt but not seen, delivering impactful bass.
Hidden TVs and Projectors
Today’s technology allows us to hide TVs in furniture, floors, and ceilings. Beautiful custom-designed panels keep displays out of sight until opened with one touch of a button. You can also enjoy fine artwork and beautiful mirrors with designer frames and then watch them transform into high-definition 4K TVs with stunning pictures and lifelike images.
Projectors and movie screens are housed in ceilings until lowered with one tap. Ultra-short throw projectors rise from media cabinets, sitting near the wall and producing 100-plus-inches of stunning images with vibrant colors.
At Rich AV Design, we partner with several manufacturers specializing in high-performance hidden technology. Future Automation, an international engineering company, manufactures concealing and moving mechanisms that are individually assembled and tested by hand before hiding displays in smart homes. They also offer custom-designed solutions for spaces needing their bespoke services.
Elegant Controls
When integrated with your home automation system, you can tap a touchscreen, remote, or keypad to manage your home’s audio-video systems. Select the source, whether streaming playlists or tuning into your favorite Netflix series, and your display appears with the entertainment beginning.
At Rich AV Design, our team consists of world-class audio, video, and automation experts, providing our clients with the best entertainment that's fun and easy to use.
