Design & Installation Division

Our Systems Approach to Audio-Visual Design:

Founded in 1978, Stage Sound has grown tremendously in size and capabilities from its humble beginnings as a local sound reinforcement company. While our Sales and Rental & Event Services divisions keep our retail, production, and special event clients happy, our Design & Installation Division focuses our work towards permanent installations of these professional audio-visual systems. We provide our sound, lighting, and video systems design and installation expertise to architects, facilities management, and end users of any presentation or performance space (including worship facilities, auditoriums, gymnasiums, meeting rooms, multi-purpose rooms, and nightclubs).

In the early days, most audio-visual systems pretty much looked the same - the limited technology available then didn't allow systems to be custom matched to a specific location. Today, engineers from Stage Sound have a palette of hundreds of loudspeaker, lighting instrument, and system control options available, each one optimized for different applications. Using advanced computers and software modeling techniques, we are able to select the proper system components for your environment.

The engineering and installation staff at Stage Sound can provide state of the art system design and fully implement this design with our skilled technicians. Stage Sound has a unique ability to combine imagination, science, practical experience and technical skill in every system we design and complete.

Today, the prevalence of digital music and video on CD and home theater has raised your audience's quality expectations of all multimedia events. Let us help you deliver world class performance for your next audio-visual project.

After the installation of a state of the art sound, lighting, or video system, we will never leave the end users of the facility out in the cold. Stage Sound provides the highest level of customer support whether over the phone or via our on-site service.

Even if Stage Sound was not the original system installer of a system, we can arrange a service contract to provide the level of performance and reliability any modern system demands.

If you have decided you need a partner with the theoretical and technical background needed to reach today's critical audience, feel free to contact us and let us discuss your system needs and how we can provide the solutions.
