design/installation: objectives for audio

All audio systems that we design and install are designed to acheive the following technical, aesthetic, and practical objectives.

Technical Objectives

- Provide the greatest possible intelligibility

-This is done by proper speaker selection and location. Horn loaded or other directional designs ensure that sound is focused and that the listener hears the sound without it reflecting off other surfaces creating reverberation and incoherent signal.

- Provide a linear frequency response (good tone or EQ)

-Proper speaker selection and location, proper microphones, and proper system tuning and equalization ensure that feedback is minimized.

 

-Quality loudspeaker systems are used ensuring required bandwidth is produced.

- Provide adequate, consistent amplitude (adequate consistent volume, or level)

-Proper speaker selection and location ensures that there is not significant overlap or gaps in the coverage of the speakers.

 

-Understanding your needs helps us select processing, amplifiers, and loudspeakers that provide adequate power.

Aesthetic Objectives

- Systems are designed to complement the facilities in which they are installed

-Loudspeakers and other visible components are available in colors to match the décor of the facility.

 

-Cable runs are buried and terminated in a discrete manner.

Practical Objectives

- Systems are designed to minimize listener fatigue.

-The sound should be even and natural throughout the listening area. The sound should also seem like it is coming from the stage as sound coming from the side or behind can be distracting.

- Systems are designed to be flexible, able to meet many needs within a space.

 

- Systems are designed to consider responsible financial stewardship.

-By using quality equipment, you are ensured less service will be required and you will be able to depend on your system every week.

 

-By designing systems that are easy to operate and intuitive less work is required to train volunteers and operate the system. The system is also protected as it is less likely to be misused.

 

-Systems may be able to be installed in stages, rather than all at once, allowing the use of quality equipment rather than compromising to be able to do everything at once.
