Every successful AV system starts with clarity.

I offer a two-stage consultation process designed to give you confidence before committing — while ensuring serious projects receive the depth of planning they deserve.

Initial Consultation (Free & No Obligation)

A complimentary discovery call or visit to understand your space, goals and expectations.

During this session we will:

• Discuss how you use your space

• Identify performance priorities

• Explore realistic budget ranges

• Highlight potential system approaches

• Outline next steps

The purpose of this stage is simple:
To determine whether I am the right fit for your project and to give you confidence in the direction we would take.

There is no pressure and no obligation to proceed.

Detailed System Design & Planning (Paid Service)

For clients ready to move forward, I provide a comprehensive planning and design consultation.

This stage includes:

• Detailed room assessment

• System architecture planning

• Equipment specification and selection

• Speaker and subwoofer selection and placement strategy

• Cable route planning

• Future upgrade considerations

• Clear project roadmap

At this stage, we move from general direction to specific decisions.

This ensures:

• The right equipment is selected

• System compatibility is verified as far as reasonably practicable

• Budget is allocated intelligently

• Installation runs smoothly

• Performance goals are achievable

The design phase forms the foundation of a successful installation and helps avoid costly specification and installation mistakes.

The right system starts with selecting the right equipment for the room, the application and the budget.

Trident AV Solutions supplies a carefully selected range of home cinema and audio equipment, available both as part of an installation project and directly through the online store.

My recommendations are based on suitability and system compatibility rather than simply recommending the most expensive product available.

I can help with:

• Speaker and subwoofer selection

• Amplifier and processor matching

• Home cinema system specification

• Television and display selection

• Room correction and system compatibility

• Gaming and media integration

• Upgrade planning

You are also welcome to use equipment you already own or have purchased elsewhere. If something I sell is not the right solution for your system, I would rather tell you than sell you the wrong product.

The objective remains the same whether I am supplying one component or designing the complete system: equipment that performs properly together and makes sense for the space in which it will be used.

Even the best equipment underperforms if installed incorrectly.

Services include:

• Professional Home Cinema installation

• TV wall mounting

• Speaker placement & installation

• Surround & Dolby Atmos system setup

• Subwoofer positioning & integration

• Cable management (Trunking)

• Rack and equipment configuration

• Gaming and media system setup

Every installation is carried out with long-term reliability and clean presentation in mind.

Even premium equipment underperforms without proper calibration.

I provide:

• Room correction setup (Dirac / Audyssey / manufacturer systems)

• Subwoofer integration and bass management

• Speaker distance and level optimisation

• Crossover configuration

• Performance fine-tuning

• Picture optimisation for televisions

The difference between “installed” and “calibrated” is significant.
This is where systems truly come alive.

Calibration is where systems move from functional to exceptional.

Already have a system that isn’t performing as it should?

I can:

• Diagnose weak points

• Reposition speakers and subs

• Optimise settings

• Improve bass integration

• Recommend targeted upgrades

Often, substantial performance gains can be achieved without replacing everything.

Not every project is a cinema room.

I also support:

• Smart speaker setup

• Multi-room audio configuration

• Streaming integration

• Simple TV sound upgrades

• Family-friendly system optimisation

From dedicated cinema rooms to everyday living spaces, every system deserves to perform properly.

Sonos systems are popular for a reason — they’re flexible, scalable and user-friendly.

However, many installations are under-optimised, poorly configured, or not expanded to their full potential.

I provide specialist support for Sonos-based systems, including:

• New Sonos system planning and installation

• Multi-room audio design and configuration

• Sonos home theatre integration (Arc, Beam, Sub, surrounds)

• Subwoofer optimisation and placement

• Trueplay tuning and advanced setup

• Network stability troubleshooting

• Expansion planning and future-proofing

Whether you’re starting from scratch or improving an existing setup, I ensure your Sonos system is configured correctly, sounds balanced, and works reliably throughout your home.

From simple single-room upgrades to full property multi-zone installations, I deliver performance-focused Sonos solutions without unnecessary complexity.
