About Evan

The best voice in CI.

I'm Evan Rapp. Thirty years in Southern California custom integration, and Leon is a line I know down to the finish codes. Everything in this wing exists to make your next Leon sale obvious and easy.

The short version
A rep, not a brochure

There are plenty of people who can email you a price list. I'd rather hand you the tools that close the room. That's what this site is — the way I'd walk you through Leon if we were standing in front of the wall together.

Frame a TV, hide a speaker, spec a room, check your margin. The tools do the selling. I answer the phone, sort out your tier, get the freight right, and make sure the install looks like the renderings.

How I think about Leon
Three things I believe
The frame is the opener
Framing a TV is the easiest yes in the house. It gets you in the design conversation — and once you're there, the sound, the concealment, and the whole system follow.
Hidden doesn't mean compromised
Leon's whole trick is real fidelity that disappears. You never have to talk a client out of good sound to get a clean room. That's a rare and easy pitch.
Margin is a spec decision
How you write the order changes what you make. I'll show you the bundle-vs-separate move and make sure you're quoting off the tier you actually earned.
Let's land the next one together

Got a room, a wall, or a client you're not sure how to frame? Send it over. That's the fun part of the job.
