Celebrating 50 Years of Smarter Technology – Better Living In 1976, our father, Larry Maglinger, founded Custom Audio-Video with a simple belief: take care of your customers, operate with integrity, and always do what you say you’re going to do. Fifty years later, that foundation still guides everything we do. What started as a small local technology business has grown and evolved alongside our community. As technology transformed from analog systems to AI-driven automation and intelligent security, we transformed with it. Today, we specialize in AI Automation, AI Security, Pro Sound & Video, and advanced boardroom systems—helping businesses operate more efficiently and homeowners enjoy smarter, more connected living. While the tools have changed dramatically since 1976, our commitment to reliability, quality workmanship, and long-term relationships has never changed. We believe our employees are our greatest asset. Great people build great systems, and our team takes pride in delivering solutions that are built to work and built to last. Now led by the next generation of our family, we are honored to carry forward our father’s legacy. He also taught us the importance of giving back—supporting local nonprofits, serving on community boards, and investing in the future of Owensboro. For 50 years, Custom Audio-Video has been rooted in this community. And as we look ahead, we remain committed to innovation, service, and strengthening the businesses and homes that make Owensboro thrive. Smarter Technology. Better Living.
