Mike was extremely helpful and patient even though he didn't need to be. I was able to ask a lot of questions prior to any work done and he answered them all and even provided helpful advice. Definitely recommend! read more

I was having problems getting my Sonos One speakers and Sonos Amp in my patio up and running. I was ready to give up after spending a lot of time trying to troubleshoot the problem. Mike is a Sonos Expert. He assured me Sonos is the best compared to other outdoor speaker set ups. He sent text messages instructing me to reset the speakers. Unfortunately I was still having problems. He came to my home on a Sunday and got my Sonos System up and running again. read more

Great service. Arrived next day and finished in less than an hour. Good price and easy payment option. Will use again!

Mike is an expert at what he does! Friendly and efficient! He knows his stuff and makes TV mounting look easy

Mike was quick, responsive, knowledgeable and professional from beginning to end. His suggestions of mount, extra wires, and tv positioning were spot on and created a viewing space better than we could have imagined. I did my research trying to find the right company and Mike earned our business through his reviews, various media mounting experience and as the only verified business on Yelp out of the others that I found. Thanks again mike for your quality of work. read more

Mike literally was at my place in less than an hour. He diagnosed the issue over the phone and showed up prepared to fix what two other 'professionals' couldn't fix on a Sonos setup. Not only does he have a deep understanding of Sonos, he came equipped with extra equipment which saved me the aggravation of buying and having him come back. He also diagnosed a weak wifi and got this setup as well and keypad lock. 5+ professional service and a super humble and nice guy. read more

Mike, came over to our home in the evening and installed our 65'' TV above our fireplace. Was very professional. Did an excellent job at a reasonable price. Its obvious that he is very knowledgeable. Thanks Mike !! read more

I made an appointment with AV Innovations. I needed someone to install a streaming system. I was the last appointment for Mike after his very busy day. Despite that, Mike spent all the time necessary to skillfully install the streaming system, and he also spent the time to give us a tutorial on how to use the system. He added all the platforms we use in an orderly and convenient order. He patiently answered all our questions Mike is a highly skilled technician, knowledgeable and efficient. He has great patience, fair prices and easy to work with. Audio Visual Innovations is you one stop call for all your audio visual needs. read more

I meant to post this a few weeks ago. I spoke to mike and I knew he knew what he was doing... I am so happy with my Sonos and Mike installation. I mean it was seamless.. I was working in my bedroom and he was installing my surround sound in the living room. Tell him what you need and what you want...he is meticulous! If I get another system put out doors, he is the man to do it!!!! read more

Knowledgeable, fast, efficient, clean, responsive, friendly, patient. I called and he answered immediately came out that same night which was great because I was home that day for another project. He worked with me to figure out the best place to mount my outdoor WiFi tv to a palapa. He had all the tools and all the extra pieces I needed to fit the tv where it didn't naturally go. Well deserved 5 stars. Thanks Mike Meier. read more

Audio Visual Innovations - My outdoor WiFi tv!!! - Home Theatre Installation Near Me

I would highly recommend Mike for your home theater and TV installation. He did an amazing job in setting up our 65" LG OLED TV Monitor. Mike even helped move our old plasma tv to another room. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely use Mike again for a wireless audio installation. read more

Mike did a great job with my AV installation. He made short work of my thick plaster walls and got the wires to their intended destination. He gave me some great suggestions along the way like in-ceiling Sonos rear speakers. Very clean work throughout. His years of experience are obvious when he's at work. read more

We highly recommend Mike for your AV needs. He is responsive, honest, punctual and has the required technical expertise. We found Mike on Yelp. We wanted our flat screen mounted on a stone fireplace in our family room without visible cords and the backyard set up for sound as well. Mike told us how he would install the TV with surround sound inside and wifi outside. He gave us a written quote for materials and labor. We set a tentative installation date about a month out. Within 48 hrs of his visit Mike notified us of a rate hike going into effect on certain materials before our installation date and backlog on others. He had all the materials in stock at the lower cost and with our commitment to move forward, he guaranteed his original quote and set aside materials to insure we were not affected. Our installation was completed today. After 5-6 hours of labor, app set up and demonstration of the system, we have the home theater we want along with sound outside. This is the guy you want! Here are some pics of the finished installation outside and over the fireplace. read more

As everyone states Mike is great at his job. He recommended the Sonos system for our backyard and some excellent outdoor speakers. The sound is excellent and we have been enjoying the music for a few months now. Makes a world of difference compared to when we used one bluetooth speaker! Mike also installed our TV on the patio with the Sonos sound bar and two additional speakers. I wasn't sure if I wanted to add the expense of two more after already having four in the pool area. We are really glad we did. The sound is evenly dispersed over the entire area so we can enjoy the music everywhere without annoying our neighbors with it being too loud. Side note was he was very competitively priced especially compared to another local company. I am sure the others would have done a good job (they also have very good reviews) but what Mike recommended and installed is awesome and was about 40% less money than the competitive bid. read more

This guy knows his stuff and is fantastic at what he does. We did a whole house audio and home theater system, and he had everything done in a day and a half. It was flawless, and I couldn't be happier. The guy is entirely professional and couldn't be happier. If you want a guy that does things clean and flawlessly, this is your audio and tv guy. read more

I highly recommend Mike if you are looking for someone to mount your tv and set it up for you. Got a new LG tv and Sonos Beam from Costco. He provided an affordable option for mounting the tv and helped me sync it with the soundbar. He also changed the outlet near the tv from a 2 pronged to 3 pronged outlet for a much cheaper price than any electrician. read more

ANOTHER Amazing job by Mike. He's a perfectionist, quick and had great suggestions to nail the placement. I did an upstairs OLED and an outdoor Samsung Terrace 75" into stone and he didn't flinch. Would 1000% use again. read more

I had a chance to purchase an excellent video front projector so I jumped on it. I consulted Yelp in order to find an installation specialist who understood this particular brand and it's unique mounting requirements. I found Mike at audio visual innovations and he struck me as the right guy for the job. He just finished a pristine clean and tidy job. He spent time with me to go over the different choices for focusing the projector and trained me on the different menus available to me. He cleaned up the premises when he was done and treated me with kindness, respect and high integrity. I highly recommend AVI for your installation needs. He does excellent work. read more

I thought at first that the hunt for my home audio installer was going to be quick. I went to a high-end AV store near my office in Newport Beach, scheduled a walk-thru and gave them my budget. The walk-thru went well, however, I never received my estimate till a week later than promised. Thus, within the time of waiting for my estimate, I called Mike @ Audio Visual Innovations. He answered my call and I told him briefly what I wanted. He quickly text me a picture of an almost identical proposal from a prior customer of his. The prices were VERY reasonable and he came by for a walk thru 2 days later. On the day of the install, per my request, he came over earlier than originally scheduled because of my work obligations. I assisted him with only taking down the TV and he did the rest. Mike installed a Yamaha receiver, universal remote, 5 ceiling speakers, wall rack, a subwoofer jack and a multi-input wall jack (I purchased myself). He brought all the equipment and wiring... no need for purchasing anything online or at a store. I came back home after work to assist him to place the TV back onto the wall. All the equipment was nicely placed in the garage as we discussed. Everything went better than expected. He even did more than stated on my proposal/invoice. I will call Mike again when I upgrade my TV. read more

Audio Visual Innovations - Mounted our 55' Flat Screen - Home Theatre Installation Near Me

Mike was amazing. I got several bids to install some architectural speakers and move some centralized wiring to another location. His pricing was transparent and he never tried to upsell me things I didn't need. Other bids wanted to charge for configuring components that I already knew how to work or try to replace the existing speaker wire. Mike didn't. He had all the items in his truck (audio plates, etc) and was super reasonable on his prices there too. He's also fast and clean. You can tell Mike is the kind of person who does a great job and knows the benefit of word of mouth, repeat business, and loyal customers by doing all the right things (not something you'll find much in this space). Definitely going to keep his info handy for future HiFi needs. read more

It was a pleasure working with Mike, the owner of Audio Visual Innovations. Before even scheduling to come to the house, he was available to answer all my questions, wanted to know the models of my receiver and amp, and gave me some troubleshooting tips to try before scheduling. He arrived as scheduled and communicated his arrival time as he had a large job before mine. Upon arrival, Mike was able to quickly troubleshoot and figure out the issue with my in-wall subwoofer and answer all my questions. After fixing the subwoofer issue, he calibrated my receiver to the optimum settings for my room size. In the end, the price quoted was what I paid, and his work was impeccable. I am so thankful for Mike, and now know who to use in the future for all my AV needs! read more

Mike did an amazing job with our home. He installed 4 TV mounts as well as 5 ceiling speakers all in one day. Never told us what we needed to have or do, but provided suggestions that allowed us to rethink what we thought was the best option for our house. He also guided me through the apps and receiver controls for the speakers, settings for best sound, etc. Great communication, was on time for the job, and overall a great guy to deal with. Will definitely use him again for future AV projects. Cheers Mike! read more

After weeks of back and forth research while waiting for my SVS 5.1.2 setup to be picked out and delivered, I decided to go with Mike. I was not disappointed - Mike was competent, helpful, and enjoyable to just talk to. He values attention to detail at an incredible level, and it goes a long way when you're going for a sleeper home theater setup that requires clean, organized wiring. I also really appreciated how much he valued time and ensuring his hours are billed fairly on top of that - we joked about how he would deduct "cat time" for spending a few minutes petting our always curious cat. For someone that has decades of experience in AV, from jobs just installing TVs to full high-end home theater setups, it was nice to see not only the knowledge was there, but the attention to detail and customer service came with. It's surprisingly hard to find that all together. Mike will be getting my business in the future! read more

Mike has been my go to A/V expert since moving to Orange County from Dallas, TX five years ago. He has been reliable, responsive, and extremely accessible. He installed several things from a home theater system to wiring in the house for my crazy ideas to setting and programming things up perfectly. My latest was replacement of a blown ceiling speaker which he took care of the day I called him. Thanks Mike! Appreciate your expertise! read more

One day I decided to just dive right in without a clue in how to make my game room the way I wanted and as silly as I came off, Michael helped me out by going over a plan and scheduling. He was punctual, & delivered on his commitment. Surround sound was wired up, dated wall panels replaced, tv mount & cable installation. Michael also was communicative, & respectable in regards to the cleanliness of your home while he is working. Some great pluses was working with what I had (cable management done by previous owner), removed dated wall panel speakers that he ordered new custom and attention to detail. Only negative was there was a dance in how to pay & I like transactions to be by consumer choice & not the other way. Besides that I'm telling everyone in my neighborhood about him so - he's awesome! read more

We had a sound system installed 16 years ago (by someone else) that included surround sound in the den and 10 speakers with volume adjustments outside. Over the years we have had different people work on the system and when they left, I would still have a question or issue with something. I bring up the history because I have comparisons to Audio Visual Innovations and Mike shines! It was a little more expensive than I had planned as we had to replace all of the speakers, volume controllers, the new receiver is incredible and programs through our phones, he cleaned up all the wiring in the remaining equipment and reprogrammed our all-in-one remote. His work ethic is top notch, made suggestions to keep some equipment as it still worked. He's great! read more

We just moved to a new house and previous owner had several in wall speakers throughout the house but we did not get much info and did not even know if speakers were wired or in good working order. I found mike along with other companies through Yelp. After comparing the estimated prices and prices and phone conversation with Mike, He was very knowledgeable and professional. Mike came to our house and took care of the project in two hours. In addition, he had a top notch brand of AMP in handy, so we did not have to shop around. Both my wife and I are 100% happy, and willing to refer him to my family and friends. PRICE? He beat all other competitors. He even took several follow up phone calls after the installation and answered many questions. Mike, many personal thanks from me and your professionalism, knowledge, getting the project done in a timely manner at very reasonable prices should be recognized. Wish you the best to your business.

Three words to describe Mike the owner- Meticulous, Perfectionist, and has a Relentless work ethic. He does ALL the work to ensure quality control and is extremely knowledgeable (20+) and offers detailed advice while making valuable suggestions that may never cross your mind. I was sooooo impressed with Mike. Let me explain. He will spend his valuable time to ensure the best course of action prior to cutting into the walls. Understand this...he gets paid by the job not by the hour. He treats each install with care and never "rushes" just to get the job done. He spent 3 hours on two TV installs just to prevent from making two extra holes in the wall. Reasonable prices, arrives early, and looks out for the best interest of his customers. A clean and professional job- I' m a customer for life!!! read more

I highly recommend using Mike for all your AV needs! read more

Mike did a fantastic job connecting our wall mounted speakers to the Sonos system, made sure that the old wiring and configuration was fixed and made it more efficient. He was also incredibly honest and was diligent with his time. He wanted to make sure every minute of his time here was productive. When we walked through options he was really honest about what I "needed" and was more interested in saving me money. Also, we've got a yappy dog and before getting to work, Mike took the time to get him used to him so that while Mike was working he didn't disrupt anything in the house. Lastly, Mike is very very responsive and flexible. We'll definitely be recommending him and asking him back in the future. read more

I just had a great experience with Mike and AVI. I needed someone to install a video surveillance system in my house. I had the system already but I needed someone to rip out my old system and install the new system. I found AVI through Yelp and contacted him through the app. He responded very quickly and gave me a reasonable quote. We scheduled an appointment and he showed up on time. He did what he needed to do and was done in a reasonable time frame. He was professional and installed everything perfectly. Thank you, Mike! read more
