Consultation
Your project manager works with you to define what the space needs.
Design
Our programming staff designs the system around your space and goals.
Installation
Our in-house technicians seamlessly install your new audio setup.
Support

Integrated audio control
Audio systems that connect your entire AV system, not just the speakers.
A speaker system that's bolted on after the video and control work is finished is usually the first thing to fail. That's why we design audio into the entire AV control setup, so your visuals, lighting, and sound run through one streamlined system.
Once your system is installed, our service department keeps it running, providing protective warranties, firmware updates, and system checks on a maintenance contract, ensuring your new audio rig consistently exceeds your performance expectations.
- One system. Multi-channel control and management.
- Gear selection and placement tailored to your budget and space.
Ann Arbor's choice for custom sound system installations
It takes more than watching a few tutorial videos to implement an advanced audio system that's equipped to handle all your communication and performance needs. For over 60 years, Thalner has been designing and installing custom audio systems out of our Ann Arbor headquarters, tailoring every product and layout to your specific acoustic and budget requirements.
Our audio solutions range from background music piped into a cafe or library, speakers hung for a high school football field or basketball arena, or as paging in a warehouse with several zones of work space. Whether you're outfitting a single conference room or accommodating a full athletic facility, the same in-house audio engineers and installers are here to personally oversee your project from the initial setup design to well beyond the day your new system goes live.
Commercial audio systems designed with intuition and intention
A good audio system starts with determining what the room is actually for, not with reviewing a list of speakers. For a cafe or library, that might mean a simple background music system tied into a couple of ceiling speakers. For a warehouse or office, it could mean zone paging so communication doesn't have to blast through the break room too. For a recording studio or podcast booth, it requires isolation, mixing equipment, and pro-audio gear built for a small, quiet room rather than an open floor.
Thalner designs and installs commercial audio systems with more than just performance in mind. We work directly with you to assess the intentions of your audio needs, and we carry the product lines to support everything from a basketball arena's speaker hang to sound masking systems for open offices. Scalable, streamlined, and simplified: that's our goal for every custom audio setup we install.
Proudly serving Ann Arbor, Detroit, Lansing, and beyond
Ann Arbor has been our home for over 60 years, and we've designed and installed just about any type of audio system you can think of for businesses and organizations throughout Detroit, Lansing, and all surrounding areas. We've also spent close to 30 years working with the University of Michigan campus just down the road, working directly with administrators to install audio systems designed for every environment, from the classroom to the football field.
We want to work with commercial clients who take AV innovation as seriously as we do. That's why we back every audio installation with a warranty, and ongoing support through our membership in the PSNI Global Alliance and AVIXA, which gives us the reach to support multi-location clients across Southeastern Michigan and beyond.
Don't just upgrade your audio system. Future-proof it.
Most audio setups are only designed with contemporary audiences and expectations in mind. Not for us. We ensure that your new system is as scalable as it is successful, backing your project with our in-house AV maintenance & technology team to provide routine maintenance and inspections whenever needed, ensuring your audio performance evolves as you need it to.
We're a single point-of-contact for all your AV needs, meaning the same team that designs your audio system is the same one who answers the phone when something needs attention two years later. Every AV company sells roughly the same speakers and the same TVs at roughly the same price. The difference is who has your back long after your equipment is installed.
Whether you're weighing options for a background music system, looking for a state-of-the-art stadium speaker hang, or anything in between, request a quote for your next audio upgrade and we'll take it from there.
