Extend luxury living outdoors with high-performance audio and video designed specifically for Hinsdale properties. From elegant patio music to full backyard entertainment, we build outdoor systems that deliver exceptional performance while blending discreetly into your landscape.
In Hinsdale, outdoor living spaces are often designed with the same level of care and sophistication as the interiors of the home. Patios, pool areas, outdoor kitchens, terraces, gardens, and entertaining spaces are extensions of your lifestyle — and they deserve technology that enhances the experience without disrupting the beauty of the property.
At Sound & Vision, we design and install custom outdoor audio video systems for Hinsdale homeowners who want exceptional sound, vibrant outdoor viewing, and seamless control throughout their exterior living spaces. From discreet landscape speakers to weather-rated outdoor televisions and fully integrated smart control, we create outdoor entertainment systems that feel elegant, effortless, and built for the way you live.
Outdoor entertainment is best when every system works together effortlessly. With integrated control and automation, your outdoor audio, video, lighting, and related systems can be managed from a single, intuitive interface — whether that’s a handheld remote, wall keypad, touchscreen, mobile app, or voice command. Instead of adjusting music, television, landscape lighting, and ambiance separately, you can activate custom scenes designed around how you use your outdoor space. A “Dinner Outside” scene might softly illuminate the patio and play background music, while a “Game Day” scene can turn on the outdoor TV, adjust the audio zone, and set the lighting for comfortable viewing. By integrating with Crestron and other premium automation platforms, Sound & Vision creates a cohesive outdoor experience that feels natural, refined, and easy to control from anywhere on your property.
Professional outdoor systems turn patios and backyards into destinations—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and family time.
We prioritize clean sightlines and hidden infrastructure so technology complements the landscape rather than competing with it.
We use outdoor-rated components and installation practices that handle seasonal changes with confidence.
Outdoor zones become part of your larger system—coordinated with interior audio, lighting scenes, and automation routines.
A great outdoor audio video system should never feel like an afterthought. The sound should be balanced and natural. The display should be bright and easy to see. The controls should be simple. The equipment should be reliable in changing weather conditions. And most importantly, the technology should blend into the landscape and architecture of your home.
With professionally designed outdoor AV, you can:
The result is an outdoor space that feels more complete, more inviting, and more enjoyable for everyday living and entertaining.
Bring premium entertainment outdoors—engineered for performance and designed for elegance.
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!
