Carlton Audio Visual has
been and continues to be one
of the leading HiFi and Audio
Visual retailers in Australia.
We offer a range of audio visual competencies
that is virtually unique in Victoria and beyond.
Our projects range from rewiring a thirty year old magnetic
cartridge for charity through to residential and corporate
installations up to the $1m level.
In Australia at the moment we are one of the few organisations that combine an outstanding retail presence with high end home control programming and practical installation abilities allied to a strong competency in IT convergence technologies.
We very much like what we do, the people we deal with, and the product we purvey ... we will always go the distance with a client.
We deal in what we choose rather than what is chosen for us.
Uniquely in this retail environment we do not work on a personal commission so what you get is honest, unbiased advice.
We are a family business that currently employs two generations of two families; The Turners and the Eliopolouses. And the other people we work with may as well be family and have worked with us for many decades.
Our staff are our biggest asset and between them all we have nigh-on two hundred years (!) of joint industry experience…
Each has their own AV specialisation that we actively encourage them to pursue because it makes our service to our clients better.
Most of our staff do some really cool things outside of the HiFi shop too. Read more about them here.
Oh and how could I forget…we also provide some of the best coffee in Melbourne !
Our knowledge & connections
With the operational process of the consumer Audio Visual industry keeps our stock line costing on a par with international marketplace retail majors and thus ensures competitiveness in both pricing and service delivery.
We are a family based company that exists to undermine the myths of pricing and service
competitiveness that the retail majors have created as part of their marketing offer.
The company is deeply committed to offering a product quality/price ratio that is amongst the world's best.
We believe that we also provide what is amongst Melbourne's best coffee...
Be aware that our premises extend over six buildings on Lygon,
Pelham, and Drummond Streets. To make an initial personal contact
come to the original premises of 164 Lygon St (next to Vodka
Temple) which is our "meet and greet" area.
The nearest intersection is Pelham St. Generous free parking is
available on local one hour spaces and there are substantial metered
and underground carparks around the Piazza in Argyle Square. Oddly
enough this area is littered with Ducatis and Lamborginis, if you are
on a motorcycle please park on the pavement outside the shop and
be prepared to be collared by enthusiasts.
We’re here to help!
We have loading zones for "difficult" items such as
100 inch Televisions and Sonus faber Lliliums ... as
well as a comprehensive delivery and installation service.
We are happy to accept items for service and repair;
just bring them in to 164 lygon St, or if they are very
bulky, have us collect them from your car or pick them
up from your home.
