McIntosh for New Construction Projects in Orange County, CA

For homeowners building a custom residence in Orange County, every detail is an opportunity to elevate lifestyle—from architecture and materials to technology and performance. When it comes to home audio, few brands offer the legacy, luxury, and sonic excellence of McIntosh. Integrating McIntosh systems during the early stages of construction allows for seamless design, optimized performance, and lasting value.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we specialize in planning and installing McIntosh audio systems in new homes across Newport Coast, Laguna Beach, Corona del Mar, and surrounding communities. Here's why incorporating McIntosh during construction gives you an unparalleled advantage.

Why Specify McIntosh During Design & Construction

Integrating McIntosh at the construction phase—rather than after move-in—enables:

• Optimal system placement and ventilation planning
• Architectural concealment of wiring, racks, and speakers
• Clean electrical infrastructure for noise-free performance
• Unified smart home control through Savant, Crestron, or Control4

It also ensures that McIntosh components are fully harmonized with lighting, shades, media systems, and your overall interior design vision.

Ideal Spaces to Integrate McIntosh from the Ground Up

1. Media Rooms and Home Theaters

Pre-wiring and designing your media room during construction allows for:

• Precisely placed McIntosh amps and processors
• Acoustic wall and ceiling treatments for cinematic performance
• In-wall or custom-built speaker enclosures

We collaborate with your builder and interior designer to create a room that looks stunning and sounds even better.

2. Whole-Home Audio

Distribute high-fidelity sound throughout your home with:

• Centralized McIntosh amplification tucked away in hidden AV closets
• In-ceiling or in-wall speakers wired and installed before drywall
• Zoned audio seamlessly integrated with lighting and shade scenes

Our systems make it easy to entertain indoors and out with premium sound quality that complements the home's architecture.

3. Dedicated Listening Rooms

Designing a dedicated audio lounge from scratch means:

• Perfecting room dimensions and finishes for pure sound
• Creating statement cabinetry to showcase McIntosh components
• Isolating circuits for low-noise electrical performance

McIntosh is made for the audiophile who values both sonic integrity and visual presence.

4. Outdoor Audio Systems

New construction is the perfect time to plan for:

• Underground conduit for speakers and subwoofers
• Landscape-integrated speaker design
• McIntosh-powered zones connected to a centralized AV rack

Enjoy clear, balanced music by the pool, patio, or rooftop—without compromising aesthetics.
