A new-construction model home for a Northern Kentucky builder. Every speaker hidden in-wall or in-ceiling, the great-room TV recessed into a stone surround, all the equipment tucked away in a hidden closet. The system runs through open houses without a service call.
A builder model home needed whole-home AV that disappeared behind finished architecture instead of fighting the design.
Plan display, audio, source, rack, and wiring locations during rough-in so the finished rooms stayed clean.
Pre-wire happened during framing with low-voltage paths, backboxes, conduit, and equipment closet planning before drywall.
Finished rooms kept the wiring and equipment out of sight while still supporting distributed audio and great-room AV.
System notes visible on this page are limited to verified scope already published: in-wall display, in-wall/in-ceiling audio, hidden rack, and structured cabling examples.
Home theater and media room planning, structured wiring, distributed audio, network-ready AV infrastructure.
Mason, OH model home, with supporting detail photos from Blue Ash, OH and Deerfield Township, OH installs.
The builder wanted the AV system in this model home to disappear behind the finishes — no exposed equipment, no visible cabling, no remote-control clutter for the design team to fight with during photoshoots. Distributed audio through the main level, in-wall speakers around the great-room TV, and an equipment closet where everything stays quiet.
Pre-wire happened during the home’s framing phase, before drywall went up. Cat-rated audio cable to every zone, low-voltage backboxes set into stud bays, conduit runs to the equipment closet. By the time the design team brought in furniture and accessories, every wire was already behind the wall.
The detail shots below — equipment closet from a Blue Ash, OH install and structured cabling pulled in Deerfield Township, OH — show how every rough-in starts on jobs like this one.
