A collection of Fox Audio Visual theater and media-room projects, presented with project details and photography from the completed installations.
Theater expertise
More than a screen and speakers.
A dedicated theater is both a technology project and a room-design project. Fox AV coordinates sightlines, speaker placement, acoustics, lighting, equipment ventilation, control and construction details so the room performs as well as it looks.
- Projection and large-format display systems
- Immersive surround sound
- Speaker and subwoofer integration
- Lighting and automation
- Acoustic planning and room considerations
- Equipment racks, ventilation and service access
Fox AV TipDesign the room first and the equipment list second. Sightlines, acoustics, lighting and service access affect the experience long after the gear is installed.

Performance without unnecessary complication.
Screen size
Choose screen size from seating distance and viewing angle—not simply the largest screen that fits.
Acoustics
Speaker placement and room treatment can improve clarity more than moving to a more expensive component.
Lighting
Plan lighting zones and dimming with the theater design so the room looks good before, during and after the movie.
