Audio Command Systems has spent nearly five decades taking high-performance home technology out of the realm of gadgets and into the world of design where audio, video, lighting, shading, networking, and control feel like one cohesive experience. From their roots in New York to teams in Connecticut, South Florida, and Los Angeles, ACS describes its mission in a simple, enduring promise: Making Technology Simple Since 1976.
For Restrepo Innovations clients, that focus matters. The best home technology is the kind you dont have to think about: it supports the way you live, disappears into the architecture when you want it to, and performs reliably for years. ACS has built its reputation by approaching smart homes as engineered systems carefully designed, integrated, and supported long after installation.
What Audio Command Systems builds (and how they describe it)
On their website, ACS positions its work as Luxury Smart Home Automation & Integration Solutions. ACS highlights a full lifecycle approach from Design & Engineering through installation and ongoing service. They also emphasize a repeatable methodology they call the ACS Process: Custom Smart Home Design and Integration, built around planning, documentation, and a clean handoff into long-term support.
At a high level, ACS covers the key systems that define a modern luxury residence: audio, home theater, lighting, automation, and service/support memberships. Their site also notes how frequently they collaborate with architects, interior designers, and trade professionals to blend technology with design for smarter, simplified environments (ACS homepage).
A national footprint, anchored by local teams
ACS maintains multiple offices, which helps them support clients (and job sites) in several major markets. Their contact page lists locations in Westbury, New York; Norwalk, Connecticut; Deerfield Beach, Florida; and Los Angeles, California (Contact Audio Command Systems). The same page references project work in New York City, Miami, and Los Angeles a helpful snapshot of where their teams operate day-to-day.
Case study: a Tribeca penthouse built for club-level sound
One of the most specific examples on the ACS site is their Tribeca case study, where they describe creating a high-end audio haven inside a 5,000+ square-foot penthouse condominium in one of NYCs tallest residential towers (ACS Tribeca case study).
The client: a well-known DJ and entrepreneur someone with a strong opinion about what real audio performance should feel like. ACS writes that meeting those expectations meant balancing aesthetics and acoustics in a space dominated by large glass surfaces, which they note can be a hard and reflective surface that can distort audio performance (case study details).
ACS describes several standout technical choices in that installation:
- JL Audio subwoofers hidden beneath a raised platform to deliver club-level bass in the living area.
- Void Air speakers hung from the ceiling for both sonic impact and a bold visual statement.
- Future Automation concealment solutions to hide a large screen and projector when not in use.
- A whole-home, multi-zone audio approach using architectural speakers for other areas of the residence.
- A Savant home automation system to unify control, along with other automation elements like shades.
Beyond the equipment list, the story highlights something that separates good integration from great integration: logistics. ACS notes they had only two weeks to complete the installation and had to plan for real-world jobsite constraints including how equipment could be moved through elevator banks and tight paths to upper floors. They sum it up simply: Ultimately, we overcame the challenges and finished the project on schedule (project wrap-up).
