About The Soundry
Founded in 2011
Hello, I'm Gareth. I’ve been installing sound, lighting and control systems throughout New Zealand for over 15 years. I created The Soundry in order to help home owners get a better experience with technology in their homes. If you're embarking on a new job or upgrade get in touch.

Reviews and recommendations
"...completely professional in all his dealings with us"
"We used Gareth to conduct a complete audit on our audio/internet/visual set up and to recommend what could be done to enhance and improve our system.
Gareth was incredibly helpful, did not try to up-sell us really expensive kit and spoke in non technical language so we could understand. We decided to go with his recommendations which he then installed for us and we are thrilled with the outcome, it is everything we wanted.
We have found Gareth to be completely professional in all his dealings with us and would have no hesitation in recommending him to prospective clients."
"...over the moon"
"Gareth from The Soundry came to us highly recommended, and we have been extremely pleased, over the moon in fact, with all aspects of the service he has provided.
He came to see us at home so we could discuss our requirements with him, and listen to his recommendations based on that. He listens well and is not out to ‘push’ products which we appreciated, and is able to work well within a specified budget to achieve a solution. We had specific requirements for him to provide a solution that was very seamless and tidy, and he made special effort to work to a very high standard in terms of how everything looked, with minimal mess, no damage, and no touch-ups needed.
The final result is a system that we feel will serve us well for the future, with products that are current and well integrated with our existing quality equipment. His knowledge of current technology is a real bonus, and he is very fair in his approach to billing for his time, and any variations or additions that we asked for.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Gareth to our friends and clients, and we wish him well as his business grows. Thank you Gareth. Regards, Duncan and Di."
"...we are absolutely thrilled with the system, the price and the service"
“We were recommended Gareth by a friend and are so relieved we followed through. From the start we developed a great relationship, his grasp of what we were hoping for, his ability to purchase at great prices, his fantastic ideas and recommendations, his regular and open communication, his management of the other tradesman, his after sales service, his honesty and his cleanliness.....we could just go on and on.
At the end of the day, we are absolutely thrilled with the system, the price and the service. 100% in our books. We highly recommend Gareth to anyone looking to install, update, or change their audio, visual, technology and/or IT systems, whether it be home, or office, a large or small job. Top shelf!”
