About US

At Media Controlled, we believe that home technology should be powerful, yet invisible. With over 30 years of experience in the audio-video industry, we have evolved alongside the technology we install, transitioning from simple media rooms to fully integrated Smart Home Automation. As a local, family-owned business in Hayden, ID, we pride ourselves on being more than just installers—we are consultants and Authorized Dealers for world-class brands like Control4, Sony, and Triad.

Our mission is to take the complexity out of modern living. Whether we are designing a dedicated Dolby Atmos home theater, installing a whole-house audio system, or simplifying your life with a universal remote, we approach every project with meticulous attention to detail. We don’t just sell boxes; we engineer custom experiences that bring families together through the power of entertainment and seamless control.
