With over 30 years of experience in AV, Geoff is one of the most skilled instructors in the industry. He holds all CEDIA certifications, ISF, HAA and Microsoft accreditations and is a specialist in Audio / Video and IP networking. He’s been teaching in AV for nearly twenty years, in both the UK and overseas. To date, he has led classes on six continents.

Geoff’s expertise is called upon for CEDIA awards judging, where he has served as Technical Judge for the last thirteen years, and as Chairman of the awards judging committee for the last seven.

Having started as a technical marketing apprentice with Dutch giant Philips, he went on to work in recording studios as an engineer before landing at AV manufacturer Arcam in the mid 1990s. While there he worked in technical training, brand management and export sales. He managed the US and Canadian markets at the time of the home cinema market’s birth and contributed heavily to Arcam’s product strategy.

In the mid 2000’s he decided to further his knowledge and embarked on a diploma in website development. Completing this in 2009 he started a website development business (prestoav.com) building websites and web-based applications, predominantly for AV and smart home companies. Today, Presto is a successful website builder, with clients such as Monitor Audio, Trinnov, Grahams and Visualization.

Home Cinema Design - October 2025

Day 1 – Introduction to Home Cinema Design

Instructor: Geoff Meads

Home Cinema and media room technology are among the most commonly requested systems for new smart home installations. Integrating audio, video and control systems together into a home cinema environment, is a common task for smart home designers and installers. This course will provide attendees the essential skills required to install a standards compliant home cinema or media room. The workshop style of this course means every student will learn in a hands-on manner. The day includes the building of a modest home cinema including typical audio and video components. Once the basic home cinema is complete each student will try their hand configuring the basic audio setup of a typical AV Receiver and go on to basic video calibration of the display using test materials.


The topics covered in this course include:

  • The role of the AV receiver in a home cinema room
  • Configuring common sources of AV content
  • Video display technologies and setup
  • Speaker system technologies and setup
  • Basic audio and video calibration
  • HD Video distribution methods
  • The home cinema environment

 At the end of this course, attendees will be able to:

  • List the basic components of a home cinema system
  • Explain the role of each home cinema system component
  • Setup a home cinema from common components
  • Calibrate the video picture and sound for initial viewing
  • Discuss three HD video distribution methods

Day 2 & 3 – Home Cinema Design Workshop

Instructor: Geoff Meads

This two-day workshop will introduce and explore the formal skills required to design dedicated home cinemas and media rooms. Using engineering calculations, the course teaches the use of world-recognised standards and recommended practices. Starting with assessing client needs and progressing on to real-world design, students will cover the engineering principles involved in high-performance design. Included in the learning provided by this course is the science and calculations required to create a complete design. Attendees will study the theory of cinema in detail, and undertake a design exercise for both audio, video, and other associated factors including data, heat, and lighting. On the following day, students will take part in an interactive workshop to design a cinema from a real client brief including a peer-reviewed design assessment.

This workshop is ideal for:

  • Smart Home technicians adding Home Cinema & Media room to their service offering.
  • Home cinema professionals and designers looking to formalise home cinema and design knowledge.
  • Experienced smart home technicians moving into a designer role.

  • Producing formal design documentation.

Day 4 – Home Cinema Control

Instructor: Simon Buddle

Creating an amazing and immersive cinema experience requires not only skills in setting up audio and video equipment, but also knowing how to control the AV equipment and the room. With the touch of a single button, the room can be transformed into a fantastic entertainment space. This one-day course aims to teach students the fundamentals of cinema control. From simple macros and infrared for audio visual to the more complex control of lighting, blinds, screens and projector lifts. Control systems are expensive and complex. This course is for those just beginning their control systems journey and wish to expand their skills to enable their business to offer a more.
