Computer Aided Design

We believe in proving what we design. Before the bill is paid...before the equipment is ordered...even before the building is built. Our staff will carefully reconstruct any venue from actual site measurements or blueprints, apply actual surface material characteristics and place speaker systems appropriately in the room model. The result of this work is an accurate representation of not only speaker selection and coverage but predictable speech intelligibility, sharp reflections and reverberations. We are able to make specific, accurate recommendations for any acoustic treatments that may be needed to overcome negative room characteristics.

  Acoustic Consulting

One of the problems that often arises with indoor spaces is the need to reduce sharp echoes or generally over-reverberant areas. Because of the capabilities in our computer modeling system we are able to do much more than merely suggest that customers "put up some fiberglass panels". We can specify exactly where to apply the right choice from many types of acoustic treatments. And we will be able to clearly explain the benefits of doing so.

  System Commissioning

We believe in taking the time to polish the finished product. Our staff uses industry standard audio analysis equipment and computer tools to properly fine-tune system equalizations, time delays, gain structures and system levels. We do not simply "pink the room" and pack up our gear. We measure and average multiple positions in the room for a realistic common setting. We will also measure speech intelligibility to prove our system design effectiveness.




  Solutions for Houses of Worship

Perhaps our greatest strengths lie in applying all of our training and experience towards
designing and building audio systems that specifically meet the needs of the local church. It does not matter if your church is a rural 100 member group or a contemporary room that seats 3,000 - we work with your team to provide the results you are hoping for.

Much of our work in the house of worship market involves removing poorly designed and installed front of house systems. We demo our products in your room as well as bring to bear our computer modeling experience to specifically address your issues and concerns. We have a long list of "finally happy" customers.

We provide effective video systems for houses of worship. Whether you need a simple portable projection system or a multi-projector extravaganza we will make sure you receive equipment that is bright, reliable and easy to use.




  Dealer Designed, BOSE® Certified


The BOSE® Guarantee

In facilities where we are specifying BOSE® Professional speaker products, we have an additional customer confidence building option that is unique in this industry.

We have received rigorous, advanced acoustic and computer modeling training from BOSE® Corporation featuring the BOSE® Modeler software system. This certification not only provides our customers with excellent site evaluations and loudspeaker recommendations but the ability to transmit our Modeler system design file to BOSE® for factory evaluation. This is done not only at the computer level but their engineers will load it into a portable playback system called AUDITIONER® which enables them and the customer to listen to the designed sound system for audio evaluation before the customer commits to the investment.

Additionally, BOSE® Corporation guarantees that the completed system will sound as good as the AUDITIONER® evaluation or they will pay to make it right. The only burden on the customer is to ensure that the building when finished will be according to the blueprint specifications provided to our staff.





  Solutions for Business Spaces

We believe that no space should have bad sound. Whether an airport concourse, hotel ballroom complex, physician’s office, outdoor mall or clothing store we work with customers to select appropriate speaker and control products that result in a usable, dependable and valuable reinforcement system.

It is well documented that music enhances the buying experience for customers regardless of the purchasing environment. We provide systems that sound great and are easy to operate so your employees cannot diminish the value of your investment. Our restaurant and retail systems will automatically turn themselves on, automatically adjust their volume as the customer generated noise changes and even change source material throughout the day.

We can provide multiple zone systems for any retail space or hotel ballroom complex. These systems make it simple for your employees to switch configurations at the press of a button so they are not spending their time trying to be audio engineers. Instead of a lot of equipment you get a system that is easy to operate.




  Solutions for Athletic Venues

We excel in providing cost effective and beautiful sounding systems for school athletic facilities both indoor and outdoor. Whether you need a simple public address system or a full range music system we will provide equipment that lasts a long time and allows for simple and consistent operation.

In many school environments, the sound system operator is a student or parent who has little or no training in running this type of equipment. We realize this and work hard to make these systems easy to operate and understand.




  Live Event Services

We maintain a quality collection of professional audio equipment that allows us to provide live sound services for many types of events. Generally on very short notice, we can provide specific equipment, an entire system and a skilled operator if needed.

Our equipment is not exposed to high-traffic rental duress so it works great and looks good. We have high end equipment appropriate for a complex music event or even an emergency system for nearly any sized house of worship venue. We can easily provide a dance system for a wedding or party whether indoors or outdoors.

In the past year our systems have been used for school graduation ceremonies where the school’s gymnasium sound system was inadequate, for outdoor youth group concert events, for churches meeting in gymnasiums, for wedding receptions and annual meetings for civic organizations.




  System Repair and Reconfiguration


We routinely perform analysis and repair service on existing sound systems. Whether you need a new underlying cabling system, hum and buzz elimination, power distribution equipment, audio equipment relocated, video screens moved or any other system modification we do excellent work in a timely manner.

Some customers need only a partial system replacement such as new amps and speakers even though the rest of the system is in good working order. We will upgrade any part of your audio or video system as needed without breaking your budget.



  Operator Training

Why have the operator as your system's weakest link? We are skilled at providing one-on-one or group training for your staff regardless of the type of facility your audio system covers and the type of training they need.

We will tailor the training to the needs of the group at hand and will not leave them confused by not clearly explaining the new concepts. Hands-on equipment will be provided as necessary and we can train on your live system if necessary.
