[edit] Explanation of Services
• Meet with the owner to determine their wants and needs. LAC's key to success in this step is listening, listening and more listening.
• Create a detailed computer model of the project space(s). This model will take into account the rooms acoustical properties along with its loudspeaker system.
• Analyze the room acoustics and create a detailed report on how to improve the acoustical environment.
• Create a progressive electro-acoustical system that complements the natural acoustical space. We are then able to let the owner hear a simulation of their sound system in its designed acoustical environment.
• Create a progressive audio/video system. LAC ensures that the systems design is not recycled from a previous job, but rather based heavily off of the client's needs analysis meeting. • Once the design process is complete, LAC will have produced detailed drawings and specifications that are then presented to the owner.
• LAC then provides a list of qualified sound contractors in the area and oversees the bidding process.
• LAC will be in close contact with the sound contractor during construction, including periodical site visits, to ensure that the audio/video and acoustical systems are installed properly.
• Once the installation is complete, LAC will then go through the system top to bottom to ensure that everything is installed and functioning properly.
• LAC uses state of the art instruments to ensure that the audio/video and acoustical systems are performing to their designed standards.
• The final step is to provide very detailed and comprehensive on-site owner training.
[edit] Our Founding Principals
• We will bring a new level of excellence to the field of audio/video design and acoustics.
• We will listen to the client's needs, while carefully considering the client's budget.
• We will begin every project with the commitment of tailoring our designs to meet the client's specific needs.
• We will help our client's "make sense of sound."
[edit] Why we do what we do
The bottom line is that LAC is an ambitious firm that is very passionate about audio/video and acoustic designs. Understanding the client's needs is the most important part of everything we do. We believe that without the client, we are without work. Their needs are at the root of every decision we make.
