BMC Audio Visual: Melbourne’s JBL Synthesis-Certified Dealer

Why a factory-authorised badge matters—and how our decades of cinema-design know-how earned it
7 July 2025 by
Toby Lorone

When a private theatre disappears into elegant architecture yet still delivers chest-thumping explosions and pin-sharp dialogue, odds are there’s serious engineering hiding behind the velvet. That calibre of work is exactly why HARMAN/JBL Synthesis has awarded BMC Audio Visual its coveted JBL Synthesis Certified Dealer & Calibrator status—the only one in Melbourne. The certification reflects that our team can apply factory-approved design tools and calibration methods backed by JBL Synthesis's Engineers to further enhance the cinemas we already build for new homeowners, builders and architects.

1. A Track Record That Earned the Badge

BMC Audio Visual has spent nearly 20 years crafting reference cinemas—from inner-city penthouses with space-saving micro-subs to sprawling, tiered IMAX-scale rooms in coastal estates. Our in-house design team handles:

  • Acoustic modelling and noise isolation (room-within-room, double-stud framing, resilience clips).
  • System geometry & sightline design (scope screens, star ceilings, riser heights).
  • Full-stack integration—lighting, shading, HVAC and access control under a single app or keypad.

Breathtaking cinema audio doesn’t happen by accident; it’s engineered. That’s why BMC Audio Visual is proud to announce our appointment as Melbourne’s JBL Synthesis Certified Dealer & Calibrator. For anyone planning a new-build, renovation, or luxury apartment fit-out, this certification is more than a badge on a brochure—it’s a practical advantage that keeps budgets under control, timelines tighter, and end-results nothing short of spectacular.

2. Why Homeowners Benefit

Headache Without CertificationBMC AV + JBL Synthesis Solution
Endless forum guesswork on speaker modelsOne cohesive ecosystem: speakers, DSP, amps designed as a set.
Seat-to-seat boominess or dialogue drop-outsCertified ARCOS / Dirac Live calibration corrects bass and locks dialogue to every seat.
Upgrade anxietyFuture-proof roadmap—add Atmos top layers or extra subs later without replacing the core electronics.
Resale queriesDocumented “JBL Synthesis Certified” commissioning report adds credibility to real-estate listings.

3. Why Builders Love It

  • One-Sheet MEP Drawings – Conduit runs, back-box sizes, and heat loads handed over before framing.
  • Reduced Variations – Fixed-scope quotation based on certified design = fewer change-orders.
  • Fast Commissioning – Pre-wired terminations and laser-guided speaker alignment finish the room in hours, not days.

4. Why Architects & Interior Designers Breathe Easier

  • Slim In-Wall / Ceiling Options – Speaker grilles paint or fabric-match to décor; visible boxes vanish. Speakers are designed to be heard and not seen.
  • Revit / ArchiCAD Blocks – Plug-and-play speaker and sub models drop into drawings—no ad-hoc sizing on site.
  • Acoustic Panels as Décor – Fabric walls double as bass traps and diffuser arrays, keeping aesthetics intact.

5. The Certified Workflow in Six Steps

  1. Discovery – Goals, seating, style brief.
  2. JBL Synthesis Design Suite – Predict SPL, bass distribution, amplifier headroom.
  3. Architect & Builder Coordination – Issue CAD for studs, ventilation, cable trays.
  4. Dry-Fit & Cable Verification – Pre-plaster inspection avoids hidden surprises.
  5. Installation & ARCOS/Dirac Calibration – BMC AV engineers dial the system to ±1 dB across seats.
  6. Handover & Scene Programming – One keypad or app labelled Movie, Music, Game, All-Off.

6. Hear the Proof

Our JBL Synthesis Melbourne showroom in Burwood features a 9.4.6 JBL Synthesis certified system in a purpose-built room we designed, framed and calibrated. A single button toggles “pre-calibration” vs “certified” so you can hear why the badge—and decades of BMC expertise—matter.
