Audio Video Interiors Receives "Best Showroom" Award at CEDIA 

Michael Pope relocated his A/V & Security Integration Company and earns "Best Showroom"...again! 

Middleburg Heights, OH (September 10, 2012)- The CEDIA Electronic Lifestyle Awards Ceremony was held Saturday night in Indianapolis in conjunction with their annual EXPO.  Audio Video Interiors of Middleburg Heights received the coveted "Best Showroom" Award, a repeat performance for the Audio/Video and Security/Life-Safety Systems Integrator who relocated to the 20,000 sq. ft. space just a year ago from its previous 11,000 sq. ft. location that had been awarded the same honor.

Michael Pope, President, credits the employees for the win.  "This is really a win for everyone at Audio Video Interiors & Safety Technologies.  Our staff volunteered a great deal of their personal time, nights and weekends, to install the showroom's extensive technology solutions! When we needed them most, they were there! I hope they are as proud of their accomplishment as I am!"

 The showroom category requires entries that demonstrate custom installations.  Judges base their decisions on unique use of space, technology and functionality.  

This showroom, that includes a 5,000 sq. ft. "residence" built within that includes an outdoor living area, designer kitchen, wine room, Visual Sports Simulator and more, certainly exceeds the criteria!

Not only is the space unique, the concept is innovative.  Pope partnered with 20 local design and service professionals to create a truly one-of-a-kind design center.  Pope's objective was to simplify the entire design process for his clients.  Not only can a client audition sound & projection systems, lighting control and automation, but they can also select flooring, window treatments, light fixtures...even aquarium designs!  Pope's philosophy is to make renovations and installations a smooth, painless process, with a project manager to coordinate and oversee all the details and ensure a great client experience.  But that all starts with educating the client on their choices, which is why Pope attends CEDIA's annual EXPO with his residential team.  Attending the show keeps the staff current on the latest technology and trends allowing them to demonstrate and advise clients on their offerings.  With the team just returning from the show, it's a terrific reason to visit this exquisite award-winning showroom now!
