Half of all churches we talk with need some sort of upgrade to their audio, video, lighting or projection systems. How to make those upgrades and new systems happen effectively, on time and on budget is an everyday conversation for us.
In the last 25 years, we've learned a lot. Our experience has taught us what works, and what doesn't.
We know how to help you select new projectors and screens. We can help you evaluate a conversion to LED lighting. We can explain why more speakers is rarely a better solution. We we know what makes a wireless microphone drop out, and can help you fix yours. We can help you make sense of acoustics and a little bit of physics. We can help you get HD video around your building and around the world. We have helped people like you navigate wireless microphones, in-ear monitors, and wi-fi. We know what it's like to to come to the end of a project and to have to make strategic budget cuts. We can tell you where you're notice the most impact for each dollar spent. And we've guided hundreds of churches through self-installation projects.
If you have a project in mind (or in progress) and need some ideas, call us. We're glad to offer a Free System Design Review.

So what role can we play for you?
Our clients come in all sizes. Most range from 150-500 weekend attenders with a single campus and one or two staff people. Some are as large as small cities with 5-figure weekend attendance and multiple venues and/or sites. Even some of the smaller churches we work with are reaching out to nearby towns, their other campuses and to the world with video streaming. We enjoy helping churches fulfill their mission.
To the solo pastor or worship staff person, we're often his or her tech director. To the tech director or weekend volunteer, we hope to be a trusted resource and a source of ideas when it comes to solutions. For some clients, we help with project planning and with long-term equipment standardization plans.
The way we hope to be different from other dealers is that we bring a broad level of knowledge and a curious spirit to the audio, video, and lighting equation.
Anyone can ship you a microphone, or a projector, but few thrive on helping you discover new products and can help you know what to expect when a new product is integrated into an existing system.
Since we talk with lots of people, it's not unusual for us to know someone who has been right where you are. The issues of product selection, proper integration of equipment, and problem solving aren't unique to you, and we're happy to help you connect with others.
Our website will never be as deep with products as larger companies (and a new version of the site is coming soon), but if you don't see it, there's a very good chance that we sell it.
But we're not a typical online company, at all. We work hard to answer every phone call live. And the guys answering the phones have managed installation projects, pulled wire, terminated cables, flown speakers, designed systems, and helped people just like you to make technology work.
Whether you need help with a solution and don't know quite where to start, or if you simply need another resource for products and ideas, please call us anytime.
