We sell products based on design and not the other way around as most of our competitors do. At Cutting Edge Design we consider thoughtful product selection and system design to be the cornerstone of system performance, making the difference between acceptable and exceptional. The products we sell are acquired and sold specifically for a unique project design and not from a shopping list of stock items. Whether it’s a pre-designed package or a completely custom installation, we pride ourselves on selling a designed experience, not merely products… 

For 15 years Cutting Edge Design has been designing, selling, and installing the Northwest’s best home theaters and media rooms to a long list of happy clientele. We offer a seasoned sales staff of audio video architects that include low voltage engineers with years of extensive media system design and sales experience. As part of our exceptional sales engineering staff we also offer a Crestron certified DM Engineer.

When you hire us for your project you acquire the knowledge of over 45 years of combined experience from a staff of veteran licensed low voltage journeymen and administrators. As one of the northwest’s premier integrators, Cutting Edge Design offers an extensive depth of design and sales experience other A/V companies just can’t begin to offer.
