Whether it's a whole-home distributed audio system, a dedicated listening room, or architectural speakers that vanish into walls and ceilings — we design audio environments where every note is felt, not just heard. Precision-calibrated, room-corrected, and built to deliver reference-quality sound across every zone, indoors and out.
We design audio around the space and how it's used. For distributed audio, we zone the space so music follows people seamlessly and balances correctly in every room. For critical listening, we treat the room acoustically, position speakers by measurement, and apply room correction so the system performs to its potential. We conceal speakers where the design calls for invisibility, and feature them where they belong. Every system is calibrated with instruments, then fine-tuned by ear.

Yes. Architectural and in-wall/in-ceiling speakers, plaster-over and fabric-concealed models, and even speakers that play through the wall surface itself allow us to deliver full, room-filling sound with no visible hardware. We work with the interior designer to decide where audio should disappear entirely and where a statement loudspeaker — a beautiful floor-standing pair in a listening room, for instance — is part of the design language. Concealment never means compromise: each hidden speaker is selected for the room's volume and finishes, positioned for even coverage, and calibrated so the sound field feels natural rather than localised to a grille in the ceiling. The result is music that seems to come from the room itself, which suits luxury interiors where every visible element has been deliberately chosen.
Distributed audio prioritises seamless coverage and convenience across many zones — the same interface, instant response, music following you through the home. A dedicated listening (or hi-fi) room prioritises absolute fidelity in one acoustically-treated space, often with reference electronics from partners such as McIntosh, Bowers & Wilkins or Trinnov, precise speaker placement and room correction tuned to a single listening position. They are different disciplines: one is engineered for atmosphere everywhere, the other for goosebumps in one chair. Many of our clients have both, and we design them to coexist on one control system, so the household can move from background music at dinner to a serious listening session without switching apps, remotes or mental models. The control layer stays simple; the engineering underneath is anything but.
Yes. We integrate audio into the wider control system so it responds to the same scenes and interfaces as lighting and climate — a "dinner" scene can dim the lights and bring music to the right level in one command. We support the streaming services and high-resolution sources our clients actually use, alongside vinyl, CD and stored libraries where they matter. Multi-room platforms such as Sonos sit comfortably inside larger Crestron- or KNX-controlled systems, so casual listening and audiophile playback share one home. Because MCBEE programs the control layer in-house, the integration is genuinely seamless: the family uses one interface for the whole house, guests can operate it without instruction, and new services can be added later without redesigning the system around them.
Whole-home audio is a distributed system that delivers independently controlled, room-corrected sound to every zone of a home from a single integrated platform — different music in the kitchen, study and pool area, or one source playing in perfect sync throughout. MCBEE designs these systems with architectural speakers that vanish into walls and ceilings — using Sonance, KEF, Bowers & Wilkins and Sonos — calibrated so that every zone delivers reference-quality sound rather than background noise. Amplification and sources live in a central rack, keeping equipment out of living spaces, and the whole system is woven into the home's automation so audio responds to scenes, schedules and a single intuitive interface. Done properly, whole-home audio changes how a house feels: music becomes part of the architecture rather than an appliance in it.
