about JD Audio & Video Design, Inc.

We are a family owned and operated business originally founded as an electronic repair shop in Tenafly, NJ in 1969 by Dimitri Karlis. The success of the repair shop led to JD's first authorized dealership known as Sony Electronics. Having outgrown this location, in 1988, Dimitri decided to move to our current location in Fort Lee, NJ. The move expanded the repair business as well as opening the door for more dealerships and a growing electronic sales store.

Dimitri's son, Gabriel, always having an interest in the electronic repair shop started his schooling as an electronic engineer and took a more active role with the company. He began doing electronic repairs and home installations, thus expanding the business in yet another direction. In 1995, Gabriel completed his degree in engineering. Now with the full help of his son, Dimitri's business continued to grow gaining more authorized sale dealerships, industrial repair clients, and a growing number of referral clients. In 1997, at age twenty-three, Gabriel decided to branch off from the main business to start a custom audio video firm, specializing in Home Theaters and Multi-room Audio design and installation. Teaming up with some of the best contractors in the Tri-state and with the full support of his family, as well as the backing of a long standing well established business, Gabriel grew the company more quickly than he ever could have imagined. He has also had the opportunity to work with some of his favorite celebrities which to name a few include: Mary J. Blige, Jason Sehorn & Angie Harmon, Chris Rock, Mo Vaughn, Mariah Carey, Chris Rock, Jay-Z, Alicia Key's and Swizz Beatz.

Many of these high-end installations resulted in awards such as Electronic House "Homes of the Year" and a spot on national TV's "Extreme Makeover"

The desire and demand for this trade is astounding and the sheer skill and individual customer attention that Gabriel and his handpicked team deliver to every customer is what makes JD Audio and Video Design, Inc. the simple choice for any or all of your home audio/video needs as well as large commercial installations and consulting such as the infamous One57 in NYC and the Modern in Fort Lee, NJ.

Experience for yourself why almost all of our business is repeat and referral. JD Audio and Video Design Inc. proudly serves the Tri-State area for over 30 years.
