The latest advances in Digital Signal Processing and CAD/CAM fabrication have enabled an entirely new idea in residential audio: Rapid Custom.  And as far as we know - we are leading the way. All modern music signals are digital and processing power is readily at hand, so the opportunity arises to intervene in the data stream to force each speaker to conform to the room’s individual acoustic. Back in the day, amplifiers were large, heavy, hot and costly. Today’s excellent amplifiers are tiny and run cool.  So we can them inside the speaker - usually one amp for each driver.  Each amp is driven by a dedicated Digital Signal Processor for maximum control over its performance. The result is a much higher level of realism than most people have ever experienced.  And, no longer is there a visible pile of components with a tangle of wire.  For most systems the customer’s only point of contact for both music selection and system control is an iPad. While it is best to consider audio during a home’s design phase, we are happy to join at any stage including post occupancy - for which we have a full range of solutions.
Design Phase
Collaboration toward a finished project design is facitlitated by shared and updated documents on the Google cloud platform.  Each paricipant sees just the latest versions for clear, unambigous specs.
Documentation
All specifications, CAD files, DSP files, schematics, component specs and sources continuously available to all parties on Google Drive. Builds are modular with readily replaceable components sourced from respected vendors. A rare failure requires just a simple part swap-out by us or any skilled tech.
Fabrication
With a total of 20 years of CAD/CAM experience in house, we routinely and rapidly execute difficult builds. Our in house hardwood, veneer, solid surface and coatings expertise allows for a wide range of possible cosmetics. We use the finest materials and components.
Installation
Done by our personnel
Each component is rigorously tested and burned in prior to installation. An acoustic analyzer is used to observe and confirn each system’s in room response.
Test and measure
Room correction by Digital Signal Processing
Each speaker is individually mated to its acoustic environment using the most advanced digital signal processing techniques.
