About The Sound Vision

Home Technology Made Simple, Since 2007

A small Franklin, Michigan company that designs, installs and looks after smart homes, theaters and audio for Metro Detroit, run by the engineer who started it.

Driven by innovation. Focused on you.

We take the role of buyer’s advocate seriously. Our only focus is your happiness with the result. We design home automation and theater systems to your needs and budget; we are not here to move boxes. The Sound Vision is a service-based company. We sell every component we install, but we are not here to tell you what you want. We listen to what you are after and build a solid plan to get there.

From the founder

I have been passionate about hi-fi audio for as long as I can remember. I spent my first paycheck on a pair of good speakers and most of my college years wandering stereo shops for fun. After an engineering degree I spent a decade as an automotive engineer, the bridge between customers and the technical teams. In 2007 I combined my love of automation, audio and video and started The Sound Vision.

I am a CEDIA certified installer and a Home Acoustics Alliance Level 1 member, and in 2015 I completed the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. I still design every system we install.

How we work

A walkthrough, a 90 day warranty from key delivery, remote monitoring, and service plans for the years after.

Our average client relationship is almost fifteen years. It is the number we are proudest of.
