Re:

Filed July 1, 2013
CIK No. 0001259515

Dear Mr. Mancuso:

        This letter is submitted on behalf of Control4 Corporation (the "Company") in response to the comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on July 1, 2013 (the "Registration Statement"), as set forth in your letter dated July 11, 2013 addressed to Martin Plaehn, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "Comment Letter"). The Company is concurrently filing Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the "Amended Registration Statement"), which includes changes that reflect responses to the Staff's comments.

        For reference purposes, the text of the Comment Letter has been reproduced herein with responses below each numbered comment. For your convenience, we have italicized the reproduced Staff comments from the Comment Letter. Unless otherwise indicated, page references in the descriptions of the Staff's comments refer to the Registration Statement, and page references in the responses refer to the Amended Registration Statement. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended Registration Statement.

        The responses provided herein are based upon information provided to Goodwin Procter LLP by the Company. In addition to filing this letter via EDGAR, we are sending via courier four (4) copies of each of this letter and the Amended Registration Statement (marked to show changes from the Registration Statement).

Gross Margin, page 55

1.
We note your response to prior comment 3. Please disclose the significance of each factor that contributed to the change in margin and provide sufficient information for investors to evaluate the factors. For example, what portion of the margin increase was due to component cost reductions? Were the reductions short-term reductions that do not continue or long-term revisions to the arrangements with your suppliers? Also, from your current disclosure, it is unclear how investors would be able to determine the substance of the information in the last sentence of the first paragraph of your response to prior comment 3 and your statement in the second paragraph regarding the margin effect not continuing in the future at the rate experienced during the disclosed period.

Common Stock Valuations, page 72

The disclosure on pages 74 through 76 indicates that in determining the fair value of your common stock, the board of directors "relied" on additional contemporaneous valuation reports prepared for you in contemplation of the option grants. Please clarify the extent of the reliance that that you placed on the work of a valuation expert. In that regard, please tell us how you considered Question 141.02 of the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Securities Act Sections, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/sasinterp.htm.
