With the advent of compact discs and digital music, the audio world has completely changed. People have higher expectations of good sound and demand it. Gone are the days when it was satisfactory to simply amplify sound even if it was a bit muffled or had hums and hisses. Audiences are more enlightened and have higher expectations.

Just within the last decade or so, a new era of Sound Reinforcement has arrived with the ability to deliver accurate and even sound to every listener in a given venue; such as, a classroom, church sanctuary, auditorium, court room, conference room, or hotel ballroom.

While there are a few relics out there with stacks of horns and woofers, we are seeing more clusters and time-aligned line arrays finely tuned by computer wizardry.

At AV/COM, we have embraced the new technologies and are delivering systems that offer near perfect sound, giving presenters and pastors the ability to be heard clearly by everyone in attendance, while offering powerful sound for instrumental ensembles (with the understanding that the hearing impaired need additional support through personal receivers/speakers).

After studying your space, we recreate it in a computer model to determine the exact speaker model and speaker placement. We can determine with clarity how the room will sound even before the walls are constructed. We can even help to isolate and identify acoustical problems and make suggestions for improvements either before or after construction has begun. This helps us to create an installation that is pleasing to the eye as well as to the ear.

As to product, we are dealers for some of the most discerning audio manufacturers in the industry, including state-of-the-art DSP's, Loudspeakers, Amplifiers, Assisted Listening, Interpreter Systems, In-Ear Monitoring, and Room Combining systems, whose names the average person has never heard. Our experience has taught us that many of the well known companies spend more dollars in advertising than research and development, while the companies we tend to select are known by true professionals within the industry as having outstanding design and quality.

After the first service of a church installation, the Pastor's wife came back to us at the sound booth - in tears! Very concerned, I asked her if everything was okay and she stated that it was the first time in twenty years in that sanctuary that she felt her husband was speaking just to her as he was preaching!

We take great pride in our work and continue to build upon a reputation for excellence. We look forward to having the opportunity to sit down and talk to you about your needs.
