Your assigned account manager or engineer works with you to define your AV goals and needs.

One system, total av control
Helping Detroit businesses streamline their AV setup
An AV control system is only as good as its design. Whether your business needs a new video conferencing platform, digital signage system, or superior audio performance, seamless integration is the only thing that can ensure simple operation and all-in-one control.
Thalner designs and installs AV control systems that streamline all your audio-visual technologies, ensuring your setup is easy to operate and always performs how you need it to.
- One-year warranty included with every AV design
- Maintenance contracts with quarterly system checks available

AV systems designed with Motor City innovation
Founded in 1966, Thalner has continued to build upon its foundation on true audio-visual engineering and relentless technical innovation. Formerly known as TEL Systems, our company has evolved alongside the rapid transformations of commercial technology, delivering end-to-end commercial AV solutions for higher education institutions, corporate enterprises, and other commercial spaces all throughout the Greater Metro Detroit area.
We don't just sell AV equipment; we design, install, and support custom AV environments tailored to the way your team works, presents, and collaborates. We also don't subcontract out our work, meaning the same team you consult your AV system design with is the same team that arrives at your location and integrates it into your existing operations.
We only get one opportunity to nail the design for your new AV system, which is why we put in all the prep work necessary to deliver exactly what you expect from us: an AV setup that always exceeds your performance expectations.
AV innovation that never compromises on user experience
A control system only earns its keep when everything else in the room does what it's supposed to. Our design work happens on Crestron, QSC, and Extron platforms, because those are the systems our in-house certified programmers build custom interfaces on every day. These are not off-the-shelf templates, but personalized touch panel layouts specially built around how your staff actually runs the room.
That means a Conference Room AV Systems design has to account for video conferencing, room scheduling displays, and audio reinforcement all working off one interface. A Classroom AV Systems design has to survive a rotating cast of instructors who've never seen the room before. We've engineered control for everything from lighting systems in a boardroom to digital signage systems for city council chambers and funeral homes, and once a design is approved, our own AV System Installation team builds it, not a subcontractor.
Our AV systems are designed to impress, but never overwhelm. That's why we provide on-site technology demonstrations and end-user training to ensure your staff knows exactly how to properly operate your new setup.
Proudly serving our Detroit clients since 1966
We've operated out of the same office in Ann Arbor for over 60 years, providing ongoing AV service and support for a wide variety of businesses and organizations in and around the Greater Metro Detroit area.
We design every AV system to be seamlessly installed and integrated into the space it serves and occupies, whether it's a corporate office, university campus, or a brand new sports arena. For clients with locations outside our Detroit service area, our 25-plus years in the PSNI Global Alliance means we can bring in a vetted, trained affiliate to install or service a system the same way we would, so you still get one point of contact even when the work happens somewhere else.
One Detroit AV company for all your audio-visual needs
Your AV company shouldn't just be a one-time supplier of miscellaneous technology. They should also be your trusted advisor, giving you objective solutions your Detroit business needs that future-proof your operations instead of following temporary tech trends.
Support is the backbone of all of our AV services. Every AV system we install includes a one-year warranty on our workmanship, as well as custom system maintenance plans, with multiple visits a year to check firmware, connections, and overall system health. We can also take over AV systems that another integrator installed and left behind, which is one of the most common calls our service department gets.
Free design work, in-house engineers and programmers, commercial-only projects, and a service department that stays involved long after installation day: that's what Thalner brings to every AV system installation we do.
