ABOUT US

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.

Oh and how could we 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 two buildings on Lygon
and Drummond Streets. To make an initial personal contact come
to our expansive new premises at 186 Lygon St on the corner of
Pelham St and across the road from the picturesque Argyle Square.

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 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 186 Lygon St, or if they are very
bulky, have us collect them from your car or pick them
up from your home.
