Having loudspeakers that are high-performance and well designed for the unique needs of your space is very important. Because even quality loudspeakers are the "weak link" in any live-sound system (chain). So, email us to request our article/paper on directional loudspeaker technology, to learn more about building directional loudspeaker arrays. That way sound energy can be reduced on the stage, ceiling and walls, and sent more to the audience, where it is more effective. This directional sound approach, in general, has been well known by leading PA system designers for a few decades; but more advanced tools are now available.
Our Mission is to be an essential design resource to architects, contractors, businesses, homeowners and churches throughout the World. Our business practices reflect honesty, integrity, value and the highest professionalism. We believe in focusing our efforts into a narrow range of services to provide excellence in our work.
