The Brightest Solutions in the Land

Wherever you go today in metropolitan Australia or New Zealand, there’s a strong chance you’ll be within earshot of a Hills SVL product.

From boardrooms to university halls, churches to shopping centres, nightclubs to world-leading sports and concert venues, Hills SVL’s acoustic and audiovisual equipment has the continent well and truly covered.

Add to that, one of Australia’s fastest growing lighting and digital signage businesses, and it’s easy to see how Hills SVL delivers on its promise of the brightest integrated solutions in the land.

Integrated roots

The focus was always on integration, from the day in 1976 that three far-sighted technicians first united Australia’s audio installation and film projection markets under the banner of Audio Telex Communications.

Rod Craig, Roy Morgan and Alan Clarke could never have foreseen where their vision would take them.

Over the next three decades, Audio Telex grew from a small group of specialist technicians operating out of Sydney and Melbourne, into the nation’s leading provider of audio and AV design, manufacturing and integration services.

With an unerring focus on contractor-friendly integration, the Company became the first dedicated provider of bespoke audio and AV systems for the commercial sector – ramping up from small-scale systems for schools and factories, to provide world-class audiovisual systems for venues as diverse and challenging as the Adelaide International Airport and the Sydney Opera House.

Today, Hills SVL offers its customers the unmatched quality, value and reliability of one of the world’s finest collections of audio, AV and lighting brands. With more than 70 highly qualified staff operating out of 7 offices and warehouses countrywide, our clients can also depend on the industry’s best technical advice and follow-up field support.

Breaking new ground

In recent years, our world-leading brands and unrivalled technical know-how have enabled Hills SVL to design and roll out a number of significant industry breakthroughs that have revolutionised the Australian audiovisual market.

In 2009, we launched a series of unique “packaged systems” to provide users with the same world-class entertainment and communications facilities previously enjoyed only by major commercial venues. By combining a pre-programmed Crestron system with our very best audio, AV and LAN solutions, the Crestron/Australian Monitor Innovation Packages offer the ultimate AV for schools and meeting rooms on one single, easily manageable, and perfectly affordable platform.

With the recent opening of our purpose-built Hills SVL Training Centre in Sydney, we have backed up our world-class products with a comprehensive series of training programs and made-to-measure technical courses delivered to dealers and programmers across the trans-Tasman region.

The opening of the latest Hills SVL office in Canberra has made us the first company on the continent to provide to-your-door representation across Australia and New Zealand – a footprint unmatched in our audiovisual industry.
