Acoustics
Where people gather, communication matters. Acoustical engineering helps you cut through the noise and build a space where the focus remains on the message. Our acoustics professionals set realistic sound level criteria, followed by practical sound and vibration control recommendations so you can experience your space the way it was intended. Our experts have assisted on projects across the nation.

Audio-Video
Successful audio-video systems balance the capabilities of the system with the experience of the user. Few things are as frustrating as an audio-video system that is over-complicated and difficult to manage. We combine state-of-the-art technology with a deep understanding of your specific needs to deliver audio-video solutions that make the most sense for your people, budget, and technological capabilities.
