Custom Home Theater Installation in Little Rock & Central Arkansas
We design, install, and calibrate home theaters and media rooms across central Arkansas. Every system we finish is ISF-calibrated, so the picture and sound match the standards movies are mastered to.
Why Eleven Hi-Fi
Calibrated, not just installed
Most installers mount the equipment and leave. After installation we measure and calibrate every display and speaker to ISF reference standards, the same standards used in the studios where films are mastered. It's the biggest single difference in how a finished room performs.
Brands you won't find anywhere else in Arkansas
We're an authorized dealer for Magico, Steinway Lyngdorf, Trinnov, Perlisten, Theory Audio Design, Devialet, Dynaudio, NAD, and Control4. Several of these aren't carried anywhere else in the state. All of them are set up and playing in our showroom.
Locally owned, and we answer the phone
Eleven Hi-Fi is owned and operated in Little Rock. When you call, you talk to the person who designed and installed your system. If something needs adjusting two years from now, we come out and fix it.
Hear it before you buy it
Our showroom at 401 Autumn Road has a working reference theater, a dedicated two-channel room, and smart home systems you can try. Come listen before you decide anything.
What We Build
Dedicated home theaters
A purpose-built room with a projector, surround sound, tiered seating, acoustic treatment, and full light control. Designed from the studs out when the project calls for it.
Media rooms
A living room or den that doubles as a theater: a large 4K or 8K display, in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, and equipment hidden out of sight, in a room that still works as a normal living space.
Outdoor entertainment
Weather-rated displays and speakers for patios, pool areas, covered porches, and outdoor kitchens.
Whole-home audio and video
Music and video in any room of the house, controlled from one app, without a rack of visible equipment.
Smart home integration
Lighting, motorized shades, climate, and security tied into one control system. In the theater, one button can dim the lights, drop the screen, and start the movie.
How It Works
1. Consultation
We start with a visit to your home. We look at the room, talk through how you'll use it, and get a sense of your budget and priorities.
2. Design and proposal
We design the system, plan the wiring and acoustic treatment, and give you a written proposal with renderings. You'll know what you're getting and what it costs before any work starts.
3. Coordination
On new construction and remodels, we work directly with your builder, electrician, and designer so wiring goes in before the drywall does.
4. Installation and calibration
We install the equipment, then calibrate every display and speaker to ISF reference standards.
5. Support
We walk you and your family through the system until everyone's comfortable with it. Every project includes a year of service, and we're available for tuning, upgrades, and repairs after that.
Service Area
We work across central Arkansas: Little Rock, North Little Rock, Conway, Hot Springs, Benton, Bryant, Cabot, Maumelle, Sherwood, and surrounding communities. For new construction projects farther out, give us a call.

Common Questions
Do I need a dedicated room?
No. We build both dedicated theaters and media rooms, and most projects land somewhere in between. Almost any room can be made to work; the question is what tradeoffs make sense for how you'll use it.
Will you work with my builder or designer?
Yes, and the earlier the better. Getting wiring and structural decisions right before drywall goes up is the biggest cost saver on a custom theater.
How long does it usually take?
A media room typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from contract to handoff. A dedicated theater with full acoustic treatment usually runs 6 to 12 weeks, depending on equipment lead times and construction schedules.
What happens after the install?
Every project includes a year of service for adjustments and tuning. After that we offer service plans and hourly support.
What is ISF calibration and why does it matter?
ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) calibration adjusts a display to the reference standards films and TV are mastered to: accurate color, correct contrast and black level, and the right brightness for the room. Without it, even a flagship projector or TV shows the factory's showroom settings instead of the picture the director approved. We hold ISF Level 3 certification, the highest level offered. Here's what ISF calibration actually does to your picture.
Can you integrate the theater with Control4 and Lutron lighting?
Yes. We're an authorized Control4 and Lutron dealer, so lighting, motorized shades, climate, and security can all be tied into the theater and the rest of the house. One button can dim the lights, lower the screen, close the shades, and start the movie.
What areas around Little Rock do you serve?
We work throughout central Arkansas, including Little Rock neighborhoods such as Chenal Valley, The Heights, Hillcrest, Pleasant Valley, Cammack Village, and West Little Rock, plus North Little Rock, Conway, Hot Springs, Benton, Bryant, Cabot, Maumelle, and Sherwood. For new construction farther out, give us a call.
