Since 2010
Discipline, not volume.
Firebird Audio Video was founded on a simple idea: a luxury technology system should be engineered, documented, and owned by the people who live with it.
Our story
A Santa Barbara integrator built around the part no one sees.
Firebird was founded by Wyatt Olsen and Lennon Wiser to bring engineering discipline to a trade that too often skips it. Wyatt entered the custom-integration industry in 2004 and Lennon in 2009; in 2010 they joined forces to build a company around doing it right the first time.
Two decades of combined field experience shape every project. We've designed and installed audio, video, lighting, networking, and automation across Santa Barbara, Montecito, and beyond — from historic renovations to the area's most complex modern estates.
We believe great systems begin in the walls — with clean infrastructure, labeled runs, and documentation you own. Racks are engineered and elevations drawn before a single device is mounted, so the system can be serviced and expanded for years. The result is technology that works the first time, every time, and stays out of the way.
We hold California license CSLB 1108192 and operate a showroom in Santa Barbara, by appointment.
What we stand for
The Firebird standard.
Engineered for performance
We don't connect boxes — we design systems. Every project is measured, calibrated, and documented to a standard.
Built for stewardship
You own your system: full documentation, your own admin credentials, and an integrator who answers the phone.
Senior accountability
The person who designs your system is responsible for it. No hand-offs to whoever was available that week.
Begin
The best systems start with a conversation, not a quote.
Visit the showroom by appointment, or tell us about your project and we'll be in touch within one business day.
