Hear the Difference at Mayville's Audio Shop

Who We Are

Your Neighborhood Audio Shop on High Street

Alternative Audio & Video started with a simple idea: give people a place to hear real sound before they spend a dime. Located on High Street in Mayville, Wisconsin, we have spent years helping Dodge County residents turn their living rooms, basements, and backyard patios into places they actually want to spend time.

We are not a big-box retailer. We do not push whatever brand pays us the biggest kickback. Instead, we carry a curated selection of equipment that we have tested, compared, and would put in our own homes. From two-channel stereo rigs to full surround-sound home theaters, we match the gear to the listener, not the other way around.

Stop by, bring your favorite record or playlist, and hear the difference for yourself. No appointment needed.

What We Do

Audio and Video, Done Right

Home Theater Installation

From projector-and-screen setups to dedicated theater rooms with acoustic treatments, we design home theaters that make movie night feel like opening night. We handle everything: equipment selection, wiring, calibration, and a final walkthrough so you know exactly how to use it.

Whole-Home Audio

Music in the kitchen while you cook. A podcast on the patio while you grill. Game audio in the basement. We install multi-room and whole-home audio systems that let you control what plays where, all from your phone or a simple wall panel.

Turntable & Vinyl Setups

Vinyl is not a trend here; it is how half of us listen every single day. We carry turntables, cartridges, phono preamps, and speakers that make records sound the way they were mastered. Whether you are starting your first setup or upgrading a decades-old rig, we will get you dialed in.

TV Mounting & Calibration

A great TV on a bad mount with factory settings is a waste of money. We mount your television at the right height, manage every cable, and calibrate the picture so skin tones look natural and motion stays smooth. Simple, clean, done right.

I drove past three big-box stores to get here, and I would do it again. They let me sit in the listening room for over an hour, swapping speakers and amps until we found the exact combination that fit my room and my budget. My living room has never sounded this good.

How It Works

From Your Living Room to the Listening Room

1. Tell Us What You Are After

Call us, stop in, or fill out our contact form. We will ask about your room, your listening habits, and what matters most to you, whether that is deep bass for movies, crystal-clear vocals for music, or both.

2. Listen Before You Commit

Come to our showroom and hear the equipment in person. We set up A/B comparisons so you can hear the difference between components side by side. No spec sheets, no guesswork, just your ears.

3. We Install and Dial It In

Once you have picked your gear, we handle delivery, installation, wiring, and calibration. We walk you through everything before we leave and are always a phone call away if you need us later.

Common Questions

No. Walk-ins are welcome during our regular hours. If you want to make sure we set aside dedicated listening time for you, call ahead and we will block out a window.
We carry a curated selection of brands we trust and have tested ourselves. Our lineup rotates, so the best way to see what is currently on demo is to stop in or give us a call. We are not locked into any single manufacturer.
We serve Mayville and the surrounding Dodge County area, including Horicon, Beaver Dam, Juneau, and Waupun. For larger projects, we are happy to discuss locations further out. Just give us a call to chat about it.
Absolutely. We frequently help customers upgrade one piece at a time. Bring in your current setup details, and we will figure out where the biggest improvement is for your budget, whether that is new speakers, a better amp, or proper room placement.
We work with customers on a case-by-case basis. For larger home theater or whole-home audio projects, we can discuss payment options that fit your budget. Call or stop in to talk details.
We do not consider a job done until you are satisfied. After installation, we calibrate everything on-site. If something does not sound right after you have lived with it for a few days, call us. We will come back and make adjustments at no extra charge.
