Consistent Sound Throughout the Home

Many systems sound great in one room, but lose their quality as you move to another space. Phantom designs for audio consistency. Whether you're walking from the kitchen to the living room, or entertaining on the patio, your music will carry with balanced, even sound. This makes your entire home feel connected. There are "hot spots" where the music is more pronounced.

A Simple, Stress-Free Process

Upgrading your home's audio shouldn't be overwhelming. That's why Phantom has refined our process to be as simple as possible. Here's the process:

Initial Consultation – We sit down with you to understand your goals, home and
your lifestyle.

  • Design & Installation – Our team designs a solution that matches your space andyour budget, then installs it cleanly and efficiently.
  • Customer Education – Once everything is up and running, we walk you through
    how it all works. Many companies sell equipment and leave the homeowner to figure it
    out. Phantom stays with you every step of the way and won't leave you guessing. We'll ensure that you feel confident using your system from day one.

Customized to Your Desires and Budget

No two homes, and no two homeowners, are the same. Cookie-cutter approaches never leave customers totally satisfied. That's why we don't do them. Whether you want a dedicated home theater, whole-home audio solution, or a simple setup for a few rooms, we design around your goals and needs. We will recommend solutions that match your lifestyle and budget, without trying to oversell or push unnecessary upgrades on you.

Taking this approach means you'll get a system that feels like it was created just for you. That's

Architecturally Hidden Audio

One of the biggest complaints homeowners have about traditional audio systems is how intrusive they can be. Large, bulky speakers take up space and clash with interior design. Even smaller, Bluetooth speakers stand out on tables and in corners.

Phantom takes a different approach.

We specialize in architecturally hidden audio solutions. We have speakers and devices that blend seamlessly into your walls, ceilings, and even floors. Imagine small speakers mounted in the wall hidden behind a wall plate that is the same size as an electrical outlet or light switch. You'll enjoy incredible sound without ever having to look at a speaker grill or a stack of.

Acoustically Transparent Theatre Screens

For homeowners who want dedicated theaters, Phantom installs acoustically transparent screens that let sound pass directly through. This means speakers can be hidden behind the screen without compromising performance. The advantage of this approach is that the sounds seems to come from the exact same direction as the image you're watching. This is what happens in real life!

You'll enjoy the look of a clean, professional theater with sound that feels natural.

State-of-the-Art Calibration

Even the best equipment won't perform at its peak unless it's properly tuned. That's where Phantom's advanced calibration techniques come in. We use state-of-the-art tools to measure your room's acoustics to fine tune your audio system. We want every note, every sound effect and every word to be crystal clear.

This isn't a step every competitor takes. But for us, it's standard. Calibration ensures that your system doesn't just sound good. The team at Phantom ensures that the audio sounds perfect

The Phantom Difference

At the end of the day, what separates Phantom isn't just technology, it's our commitment to the homeowner. With invisible audio, whole-home consistency, thoughtful design and professional training, we make sure your system fits your life and your home seamlessly. When you work with Phantom, you don't just get speakers. You get a complete, customized.
