With the convenience of watching entertainment in your private theater, you can enjoy the full benefits of a movie or a show without leaving your home. You can pause the performance, get a refreshment, and restart just where you left off, and never miss a moment!
A Recent Sound & Vision designed and built home theater.
For more than 30 years, Sound & Vision, in Burr Ridge IL, has been designing and delivering Home Theaters for their clients. Owner, Eric Schmidt tells the story of his first home theater installation for a client.
Comfortable Seating And Interior Are All Carefully Considered.
The process of bringing a Home Theater to our clients is a well honed path. We know the design, acoustics, equipment, the installation requirements, and the programming. Most importantly, we want to learn about our client.
We start by meeting with out client and see the physical space they are planning. We discuss their needs including their style, look and feel, entertainment likes, who will be using their theater, their expectations in performance of the theater, and strive to make sure we understand exactly what they need. At this point, we also discuss seating options, acoustic panels, and star field ceilings.
3D Rendering of a Theater in Progress.
Our next task is to design the ideal Home Theater for our client. We determine the layout and always try to use any existing structure. We plan the equipment needs and design an ideal solution given our clients expectations. Then we bring the estimates of this solution to our client for review, revisions, and approval.
Then we begin the work on the theater. All of the products to build and install the theater are ordered. Any modifications to the physical space are put into play including physical space modifications, electrical, and perhaps HVAC. The entire theater is designed on paper and then built up in our engineering lab to make certain it will perform as expected.
Movie Night!
Finally, everything comes together with the delivery and installation of the gear, seating, interior and programming. Then, at last, it is MOVIE NIGHT!

I have dealt with Sound and Vision for over 20 years, I am never disappointed in the quality of service that Eric, Curt, Jeff, Hector and others provide me. If I have an emergency they are always just a phone call away
Home Automation
We have worked with Sound and Vision for the past 20 years on multiple projects (big and small) and numerous evolutions of technology. They are the only home automation provider we use given the quality of the service and the responsiveness of the team.
Home Theater
They are amazing. We worked with them on a massive project remotely. We gutted and combined two units in a downtown high rise. We lived out of state while the project was designed, executed and then we moved in! Two years on, we still call them for service, changes and updates. AND it’s the same team that did our install! If you want a live recommendation, let Josie know you can call us. Highly recommend!
Home Automation
These guys are simply amazing! Terrific on all fronts – knowledge/experience with technology, creative, and most importantly, enormously responsive! They implemented a fantastic home entertainment, network, security and lighting solution that is state-of-the-art and cost efficiently designed for what we need. Eric (the founder) and his team (Curt, Jeff, and Hector) are invariably available (they respond within minutes, even on the weekend) to resolve issues. Their service is simply “five star!”

Sound and Vision has been servicing our Crestron system at our home since 2008. ALL their service techs that have worked in my home since the beginning are still with the company. They are professional, always on time, and extremely knowledgeable on all technical issues.
Also, any need for emergency calls they are always quick to respond. It is a pleasure working with Eric, Josie, and the entire staff!

After a detailed search, my husband and I chose Sound and Vision to install and manage our audio visual, lighting and smart drapes into our newly built home. They have far exceeded our expectations! And three years in, they continue to exceed our expectations! We cannot say enough amazing things about Josie, Eric, Jeff and their entire staff!
