Audio / Video & TV Mounting
Elite Connect mounts displays and builds audio/video systems across Hampton Roads, including TVs mounted flush with the wiring concealed inside the wall, conference and huddle rooms with cameras and microphones that actually pick people up, distributed audio for restaurants and offices, and outdoor TVs and speakers built for coastal weather.
What’s included
- Display mounting on drywall, block, brick, tile and stone
- In-wall power and concealed signal cabling, CL-rated
- Articulating, tilt, flush and recessed mounts, including over fireplaces
- Soundbars, in-ceiling, in-wall and bookshelf speaker installation
- Conference and huddle rooms: display, camera, microphone, control
- Distributed 70 V audio for restaurants, retail, offices and patios
- Outdoor displays and weather-rated speakers for decks and pools
- Source consolidation, universal remote and control setup
Mounted properly, wired invisibly
Anyone can hang a bracket. The difference is what happens behind it: power brought to an in-wall rated receptacle instead of an extension cord in the drywall, signal cable run inside the wall in a rated pathway, the mount anchored into structure rather than into a stud finder's best guess, and the display leveled against the room instead of the ceiling, which is frequently not level.
We also do the part people forget: consolidating five remotes into one, so the system gets used after we leave.
Rooms people can actually hear in
Conference rooms fail on audio far more often than on video. A ceiling microphone array and proper speaker placement do more for a hybrid meeting than a bigger screen ever will. For restaurants, retail and offices, distributed audio on a 70-volt line lets you cover a large space evenly at low volume instead of blasting the two tables nearest the speaker.

Questions
Audio / Video and TV Mounting: common questions
Can you hide the wires in the wall?
Yes. That is the standard way we do it. Power goes to an in-wall rated recessed receptacle and the signal cable runs inside the wall in a rated pathway. Running a standard TV power cord inside a wall is a code violation and a fire risk, so we do not do it.
Can you mount a TV over a fireplace or on brick?
Yes. Brick, block, stone and tile are all normal for us. Above a fireplace we will tell you honestly whether the heat and the viewing angle make it a good idea for that specific room.
Do you do commercial conference rooms?
Yes. Display, camera, ceiling microphones, speakers and a control system, cabled and commissioned. We also do multi-room distributed audio for restaurants, retail and offices.
Can you install a TV outside on a covered patio?
Yes, using a weather-rated outdoor display. A standard indoor TV outdoors in coastal Virginia humidity will fail, and its warranty will not cover it.
