We have to approach each design analytically. The first step is to determine what the customer wants and expects. The questions you ask up front help you decide what kind of sound system to propose.

As you start thinking about the design, you need to translate the client's requirements into terms of coverage, adequate sound levels and bandwidth. Once these requirements are identified, you can start thinking about loudspeaker and component selection, speaker layout patterns and speaker density.

Unless it's a simple “point-and-shoot” system using a single mixer/amplifier (which is often a good choice), you need to be able to correctly tune the system after it's installed, ensuring proper settings and optimal performance.

This guide is a comprehensive set of design tools and extensive product information to help you understand the world of Business Audio and the broad range of offerings EV/Dynacord makes available to you to service this dynamic and fast growing market.
