As an experienced low voltage contractor and AV integrator, Dave takes time to understand every space before recommending any device, display, or cabling. This dedication reflects the philosophy about Northland Sight & Sound, where every recommendation is customized and client-focused.

A Note from Dave
“I started Northland because I saw a gap in how technology was being delivered—too transactional, too rushed, and rarely tailored. Today, I still meet every client personally, and I treat every project like it’s going into my own home or business. If you’re looking for a partner who will listen first and build smart, let’s talk.”
— Dave Mann, Founder
Who owns Northland Sight & Sound and when was the company founded in Minnesota?
Northland Sight & Sound was founded in 2002 by owner and lead integrator Dave Mann. Headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota, the company has provided custom low-voltage, smart home automation, and commercial audio-visual integration across the Twin Cities metro area for over two decades.
What makes Northland Sight & Sound different from big-box electronics retailers and national installers?
Northland Sight & Sound delivers personalized, custom-designed low-voltage solutions rather than selling generic, off-the-shelf retail hardware. Northland Sight and Sound evaluates every residential or commercial space to design tailored setups with concealed wiring, centralized equipment racks, and intuitive single-touch controls.
What core technology services does Northland Sight & Sound offer for homeowners and businesses?
Northland Sight & Sound provides comprehensive low-voltage and technology integration services for properties throughout Minnesota. Our core offerings include:
Dedicated home theaters and whole-home audio
Smart home technology (automated lighting, motorized shades, climate)
Commercial boardroom AV and video conferencing hubs
Enterprise Wi-Fi networks and structured cabling

Does Northland Sight & Sound work with commercial businesses like bars and restaurants?
No, Northland Sight & Sound does not service bars or restaurants. The company’s commercial technology services focus specifically on corporate offices, executive boardrooms, hybrid meeting spaces, and professional facilities requiring high-performance video conferencing and zoned background music systems.
Why is custom low-voltage structured cabling essential for modern technology setups?
Structured low-voltage cabling creates a high-bandwidth, hardwired network foundation that eliminates wireless lag and buffering. Installed by Northland Sight & Sound, hidden Cat6 and fiber cabling ensure reliable, 24/7 connectivity for 4K video streaming, security surveillance, and smart home automation.
