Home Theater Installation in Prescott, Arizona
Whether you're in a mountain retreat near Prescott National Forest, a family home in Prescott Valley, or a rural property in Chino Valley, your home has unique characteristics that off-the-shelf audio equipment wasn't designed to handle. Room shapes, ceiling heights, building materials, and acoustic challenges vary dramatically across the Prescott area.
Mike Knows Audio Video provides custom home theater installation throughout the Prescott tri-city area. We don't just sell equipment from manufacturer catalogs — we handcraft speakers in our Arizona workshop specifically designed for your room's acoustics and your listening preferences.
Handcrafted in Arizona — By a Local Arizona Company
Every speaker we build starts with your specific room. We design cabinet geometry using CAD software, optimized for your space's acoustic properties. Our WubWub Audio speakers feature built-in amplification with advanced digital processing, allowing us to tune each driver individually for your exact environment.
When you buy from a big-box store or national chain, you get speakers designed for "average" rooms. We build speakers designed for your room — and we're right here in Arizona to support them for years to come.
Sorry, we DO NOT service or install systems we did not design and build.
Home Theater Services for Prescott Area Residents
Custom Home Theater Systems
Complete 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos theater installations. We handle everything from initial design through final calibration. Every component selected specifically for your Prescott area home.

Professional Room Calibration
We never use receiver auto-calibration. Using professional measurement tools, we manually tune each speaker for your room's specific acoustics — the same precision used in professional studios.
A Local Arizona Company Serving the Prescott Community
Mike Knows Audio Video isn't a franchise, a national chain, or a Phoenix company with a satellite office. We're a local Arizona business with speakers handcrafted right here in the state. When you call, you talk to the person who actually designs and builds your system.
This matters because home theater isn't a one-time transaction — it's an ongoing relationship. When you need recalibration after moving furniture, when you want to add outdoor speakers, when you have questions about new features, you're talking to the same person who built your system and understands your home's specific setup.
We take on a maximum of 15 clients per year throughout all our service areas. This intentional limit ensures every Prescott area installation receives the attention it deserves and the long-term support you expect.

Home Theater Installation Prescott AZ — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does home theater installation cost in Prescott?
Home theater installation costs in the Prescott area vary based on system complexity and room requirements. Entry-level 5.1 systems with quality components and professional installation start around $10,000-$15,000. Mid-range 7.1 systems with custom speakers typically run $15,000-$25,000. High-end Dolby Atmos installations with all-custom speakers can exceed $25,000. We recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss your specific home and budget.
Do you service Prescott Valley and Chino Valley?
Yes. We provide home theater installation throughout the Prescott tri-city area including Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Dewey-Humboldt, Mayer, Paulden, and surrounding communities. Our 2-year service warranty covers unlimited calls to all these areas with no trip fees.
What's the advantage of custom speakers over store-bought speakers?
Custom speakers are designed specifically for your room's acoustics rather than for an "average" room in a testing lab. Our WubWub Audio speakers include built-in amplification with digital signal processing that allows us to correct for your room's specific acoustic problems. Passive speakers with receiver-based correction simply cannot achieve this level of precision. The result is dramatically better sound quality in your actual listening environment.
How long does installation take?
From initial consultation to completed installation, custom speaker projects typically take 10-14 weeks. This includes consultation, system design, speaker fabrication in our workshop, installation, and professional calibration. Standard installations with off-the-shelf speakers can be completed more quickly, typically 2-4 weeks from design approval.
Do you work on new construction in the Prescott area?
Yes. We work with builders and homeowners on new construction projects throughout Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley. Early involvement allows us to plan optimal speaker placement and pre-wire during construction — much easier and less expensive than retrofitting after walls are finished.
