streamline your av setup
AV integration designed around your space.
Whether the job is a single conference room or a multi-building AV control rollout, our team assesses your space and defines what you actually need before anyone talks price. Our AV assessment costs you nothing, and it's done in-house by the same team that builds it.
- Equipment specific to how the room is used, not a product line.
- Control programming written & tested in-house on Crestron, QSC, and Extron.
- Interfaces built simple enough that users never see the equipment rack.
- Systems designed with upgrade paths in mind for years of service after install.

From conference rooms and classrooms to lobbies and arenas across the region, see our AV systems in action.
Don't just accessorize for today. Strategize for tomorrow.
When a facilities director, IT administrator or campus AV coordinator comes to us, they rarely need just one piece of equipment. A new conference room usually needs a display, a control system and a way to handle sound, and a lobby renovation built around a video wall usually needs signage and paging worked into the same plan.
At Thalner, we don't just install specific types of AV equipment and call it a day. We design integrated commercial AV systems that enhance every element of your audio-visual network, ensuring your office, campus, or facility has everything it needs to improve productivity, optimize operations, and refine efficiency.
Because we've built AV systems in and around Ann Arbor for over 60 years, we've seen firsthand how technology needs evolve as performance standards change. That's why we design every AV system to manage every aspect of your building's technology, while also giving you the tech support to ensure your system is built for tomorrow.
AV systems designed to work together
A video walls installation in a lobby or arena rarely stands alone. It often needs to work with the same digital signage content running the building's wayfinding system, and it may need to display the same alerts that come through a mass notfication systems setup during an emergency or a shift change. Rather than quoting each of these services separately, we design as one singular system from the start.
That coordination runs through AV control systems, which our in-house programmers build to tie a room's equipment together behind a single interface. A rack's worth of switches, processors, and amplifiers can sit in a closet somewhere in the building, and the person running the room only ever sees a touch panel. No matter what type of client we're designing for, the goal is always to match the hardware to how the space gets used, then hide the complexity without compromising usability.
60+ years of proudly serving Ann Arbor, Detroit, and surrounding areas
We've been in the same building on Jackson Road in Ann Arbor for 60 years, covering Ann Arbor, the Greater Detroit Metro, Lansing, and just about every city in or around the area. We've also been a proud AV partner for the University of Michigan for close to 30 years, designing custom AV systems for lecture halls, research auditoriums, and even the video walls proudly displayed in the football program's weight room.
Beyond the university, we've built AV systems for community colleges, city council chambers, police and fire departments, and corporate offices all throughout the region. In fact, if your building is somewhere in that Ann Arbor-to-Detroit stretch, there's a good chance we've already worked with one of your commercial neighbors.
Our goal: to be your AV support team for life
Our support for you doesn't just stop after installation. Every AV system we install includes a one-year warranty, and we also offer ongoing maintenance contracts that include everything from quarterly visits, firmware updates, and a service department that also takes over systems we didn't originally install.
We've also been part of the PSNI Global Alliance for more than 25 years, which means we can offer international AV assistance if your organization has more than one location. It's our commitment to supporting your AV needs for as long as you need us to that's helped us thrive as a leading AV company in Ann Arbor since 1965.
