AV Rack Building

Engineered for performance. Built with precision.

At Warwick Audio Visual, we take pride in delivering professionally built AV racks that form the heart of every reliable and well-performing audio visual or smart home system. Whether for a residential cinema room, a commercial boardroom, or a full-building automation install, our racks are meticulously designed, built, and labelled — ensuring organisation, serviceability, and future readiness.

What is an AV Rack?

An AV rack is the central hub that houses your home or business’s core AV and control systems — including media sources, processors, amplifiers, network switches, automation controllers, and more. A properly built rack provides:

  • Clean cable management

  • Proper ventilation and thermal management

  • Easy access for servicing and upgrades

  • Reliable power distribution

  • Long-term reliability and scalability

What We Build Into Our Racks

Each system is tailored to your project, but typical components include:

  • Control processors (e.g., Control4, Crestron)

  • AV receivers and matrix switchers

  • Streaming devices and media servers

  • Network switches and firewalls

  • CCTV NVRs and smart security equipment

  • Power conditioners and UPS backup

  • Patch panels and cable management trays

  • Custom-labelled cabling and signal paths

All racks are fully labelled, logically arranged, and tested before commissioning.

Our Rack Building Process

Design & Planning

We begin by understanding the scope of the system, device count, cooling requirements, and access considerations. Detailed schematics and layouts are produced to ensure everything has its place.

Build & Assembly

All rack systems are pre-built in our workshop or assembled on-site, depending on project scale and logistics. We ensure:

  • Secure and correctly spaced mounting

  • Professional-grade cable dressing

  • Signal and power separation

  • Proper airflow design and ventilation

Testing & Programming

We test each component for signal integrity, network connectivity, and power flow. Once installed on site, we finalise programming and integrate with your smart control system.

Residential Rack Systems

Designed to manage everything from home cinemas and multi-room audio to smart lighting, security, and networking — all in one neatly organised system. Built to remain silent, stable, and hidden from view, yet fully accessible for maintenance or expansion.

Commercial Rack Systems

Perfect for boardrooms, meeting spaces, retail environments, or entire buildings. Commercial racks are built with uptime, serviceability, and scalability in mind — often including remote diagnostics and redundancy options.

Integration-Ready

Every Warwick Audio Visual rack is designed to integrate seamlessly with:

  • Control4, Crestron, Lutron

  • Ruckus networking systems

  • Hikvision CCTV and Ajax security

  • Digital signage and distribution

  • UPS and power management systems

We also offer remote access and monitoring tools, allowing us to support your system quickly and efficiently — without always needing to attend site.
