Hi, I’m Joel, the writer of Frugal Home A/V. I’ve always enjoyed the pursuit of audio and video excellence, but I’ve never had all that much money to spend on it.
As a young child I was very interested in electronics and music. Those interests stayed with me as I grew, and in 1998 I jumped into the live-audio mixing world. Since then I’ve learned skills like speaker placement, EQing, and gain structure setup; at the same time I became well versed in video technologies and troubleshooting. My current full-time job is in network engineering, so I like to use internet technology to maximize my A/V systems as well.
I’ve always strived to apply the principles and skills I learned from the A/V industry to my home systems while spending as little money as possible. I try to make wise choices with my finances, so I care a lot about getting the most for my A/V dollar.
Through this blog you will learn many techniques you can use to optimize your home A/V systems. I’ll also help you figure out the most cost-effective products to purchase for your next system build or upgrade. As new technologies come on to the market I will analyze them and inform you so that you can make educated decisions about new systems that you might want for your home.

I hope you enjoy Frugal Home A/V.
