At Midwest Audio Visual, one of Columbus’s top commercial audio visual companies, our goal is to provide a superior commercial sound system every time.
Whether it’s a retail store, restaurant, office, school or stadium, a Midwest system meets the acoustic and operational needs of the environment.
Here are the traits we strive to deliver with every commercial sound system design and installation:
- Clarity: the audio is clear at all volumes with high speech intelligibility
- Coverage: the system provides even sound distribution
- Control: the control system employs intuitive, flexible interfaces
- Scalability: the system can be easily expanded or modified
- Durability: the system can handle 24/7 commercial use and is easy to maintain
Our secret recipe
To get consistent sound levels throughout a space, we make a science of proper speaker placement, spacing and tuning. Zoning is often part of the solution.
To acoustically match to the environment, we use:
- Line arrays or column speakers for reverberant spaces
- Ceiling tiles or pendant speakers for drop ceilings
- Surface-mounted boxes or horns for outdoor or industrial use
Quality components are key
- We choose commercial-grade speakers balanced for music and voice
- We select appropriately-powered and efficient amplifiers
- The DSPs we employ have fine-tuned EQ, with crossover, delay and feedback suppression
Flexible control is part of every job
- We prefer wall-mounted volume controls, app-based interfaces or touch panels
- Specific control systems are selected for room presets, source routing and automation
Tuning and commissioning are always included
- Your system is measured and tuned using tools like real-time analyzers (RTA), SPL meters and test mics
- EQ and delay adjustments are made to account for acoustics
- Systems are calibrated for both background music and emergency levels
We build scalable, network-ready systems
- Midwest systems are often AV-over-IP or Dante-enabled
- They are easy to expand without major rewiring
- Centralized management and remote monitoring are available for larger installations
Reliability and serviceability are critical
- Every installation includes clear cable management and labeled signal paths
- Failover options are provided for mission-critical systems
Compliance and safety round out the picture
- Every Midwest system meets life safety and fire code regulations
- We use UL-listed equipment where required
- ADA-compliant features are available
We define a superior system by how well it delivers clear, consistent and controllable audio across a given space. If you need better audio, give us a call!
