Heard. Seen. Felt.
Some rooms don't fit a category. Private theaters, wellness sanctuaries, flagship experiences, where the only brief is "make it extraordinary." We engineer them to that standard.

Custom. Uncompromising. Singular.
Fix the room first.
A one-of-a-kind room deserves one-of-a-kind engineering. Before the bespoke gear, the room has to be right — acoustics tuned to the space, sight lines framed for the experience, lighting designed as architecture, and control that disappears into the background. We engineer the room to the same uncompromising standard as everything that goes into it.
Fix The Room First
The room before the gear. You can't DSP, EQ, or tune your way out of poor room physics — acoustics, sight lines, lighting, and geometry shape the experience before a single piece of gear is specified. We model reverberation, reflections, sight lines, and coverage before we choose anything.
Too many spaces spend top-dollar on flagship speakers, screens, and fixtures only to discover the room still fights them — harsh reflections, dead zones, blocked sight lines, harsh lighting. We address wall geometries, absorption, bass trapping, sight lines, and lighting first so every watt, every pixel, and every cue performs cleanly.
Engineered to a Singular Standard
No two of these rooms are alike, and neither is the engineering. Each is modeled, measured, and tuned to the exact demands of the space — the same uncompromising standard, whatever the brief.
From the first sketch, the room is engineered to its own standard — coverage framed to the vantage that matters, light shaped as architecture, control built to anticipate rather than interrupt. Nothing off the shelf, nothing assumed. Every system measured, modeled, and tuned to the way the space is meant to perform.
It Just Disappears
The highest-end rooms are the ones you forget are there. We engineer systems and control so refined the technology vanishes and only the experience remains — exactly as it was designed to feel.
Single-tap scenes, ambient sensing, and control paths that anticipate rather than react — engineered so the room responds the way you expect without you thinking about it. Concierge-level support and lifecycle care keep it that way, year after year, room after room.
The Gear-First Trap vs. Physics-First Engineering
Most sales-driven integrators ask for your budget, quote their favorite speaker brand, and hope digital room-tuning masks room resonance. At 20-20, our engineering team calculates boundary phase cancellation, directivity index, and early reflection geometry first — then specifies the audio, video, lighting, and control that earns its place. Solve it once and for all.

Selected work · Category of One
Projects engineered for your kind of space.
Design the space. Then design the system.
20-20 starts with the physics of the space — acoustics, sightlines, light — then engineers the audio, video, lighting, networking, and control systems that bring it to life. From a worship center to a game-day stadium, a civic chamber to a one-of-a-kind private theater, every space gets the same uncompromising care. Different rooms, one standard: extraordinary.
Our philosophyFix the room first
Acoustics, sightlines, light, and geometry get diagnosed before any equipment is specified. The space shapes the system — not the other way around.
Design before equipment
New build or retrofit — we engineer the system to the room. On new construction we're alongside your architect and builder from day one; on a retrofit we design within what's already there and engineer around its limits.
Rooted in the Southeast
Based in Wilmington, NC — projects nationwide, with a handle on the Southeast. Service is right here when you need it.
