Soundbars and home audio · Germantown, Collierville and north Shelby & Tipton
Dialogue you can actually hear.
Mumbled voices and booming explosions are the number one TV complaint. My degree is in recording technology, and I tune audio systems for a living. I'll set up and tune your sound so it's clear from your seat.

Why it sounds muddy
TV speakers are tiny, and many rooms have hard floors, big windows and tall ceilings that echo. The result: voices blur while effects boom. Placement, the right settings and a little tuning fix most of it, often with the equipment you already own.
Quick fixes I check first
- The soundbar on the right HDMI port (eARC), not the wrong input
- Dialogue or voice mode on
- Night or surround effects that bury voices
- Subwoofer level and placement
- TV speakers turned off when the soundbar is on
Sound questions
Can you work with the soundbar I already have?
Yes. Tuning what you own is often the biggest improvement for the money.
Soundbar or full surround sound?
For most living rooms, a good soundbar and subwoofer, tuned to the room, is the best value. Surround makes sense when you watch a lot of movies in one room.
Will it work with my streaming apps and phone?
Yes. I set it up to play from the apps you already use, and show you how.
Do you install in-ceiling speakers?
Not right now. I focus on soundbars, surround systems, wireless speakers and patio speakers that don't need wiring inside walls.
