Technology that disappears into the design.
A great room shouldn’t look like an electronics store. Beyond Audio partners with interior designers on projects across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and beyond — delivering luxury AV, motorized shades and lighting scenes that answer to the design brief, not the other way around. Invisible speakers, flush keypads, hidden screens, recessed shade pockets, and a single quiet interface behind it all.
Invisible tech, on purpose.
A design brief that reads “no visible electronics” isn’t a limitation — it’s the entire brief. The luxury market has spent the last decade earning the right to hide the technology, and the products that get us there have gotten quietly extraordinary.
- Bezel-less in-wall and in-ceiling speakers from Focal and James Loudspeaker — paint-matched grilles that sit flush with the finished plane.
- Truly invisible speakers— Stealth Acoustics drivers we drywall directly over. Nothing to see at all.
- TVs behind art and inside cabinetry — Samsung Frame in gallery installations, motorized lifts and drop-downs from Future Automation and Nexus 21 where the room asks for it.
- Flush keypads from Lutron Palladiom and Crestron Horizon in matte-finished metals we spec to match the hardware palette.
- Recessed shade pockets— motorized shades that retract into a fabric-lined ceiling pocket and disappear entirely when up.
- Outdoor audio that reads as landscape — Coastal Source bronze bollards, buried subs, planter-hidden satellites.
When it’s done right, the client hears the room and sees the design. That’s the whole job.
Lighting, shades, and control — spec’d for the project.
We work with Crestron, Control4, and Lutron — and we don’t push one over the others. The right platform depends on the project: the home’s size, the level of customization the client wants, and what the design brief calls for. We spec it at the beginning of the project, not at the end of a sales call.
On lighting, the goal is always the same: replace banks of paddle switches with a few clean flush keypads engraved in the client’s language — Morning, Entertain, Movie, Late— and have every fixture in the room respond together as a composed moment, not a set of individual dimmers.
On shades, motorized pockets recede into the ceiling plane so the fabric disappears completely when retracted. Fabric selection covers every major residential textile house. Motors are legitimately silent. And every visible device — keypad, remote, grille — comes in finishes we can spec to match the hardware palette.
We’ve been doing this since 1995. We bring samples to spec review, not surprises on install day.
