EngineeringThe engineering department at Audiomatrix, Inc. prides itself on custom solutions for hard to solve audio and communications projects. Coupled with extensive product knowledge, a sophisticated network system to provide access to product research and outstanding relationships with our supplier’s technical support teams we can develop solutions quickly and effectively. Our large facility allows us to setup and test our solutions as we develop them. We have the room, both indoors and outdoors to assemble the largest of systems and measure their performance to ensure they will meet customer demands. One of the areas in-house is dedicated to computer modeling. Using custom software connected to a large flat panel monitor, our engineers can simulate the positioning of various loudspeakers within an environment and render the project to determine coverage patterns, speech intelligibility and overall system performance. Additionally, 3D environments can be displayed and shown to customers prior to incorporating products into their design.
Our Engineering Department, in conjunction with our Service Department, is also responsible for the programming of various DSP (Digital Signal Processing) products as required for specific customer applications. Initial programming is usually done in our Service Shop to allow for equipment testing and any specific modifications to be made prior to the field installation. Front panel lockouts and limits on user controls can be done at this point to simplify customer operation of our systems. Further fine tuning and final calibration will occur when the products are actually installed on site and prepared for use. Bid Specifications Another function of the Engineering Department at Audiomatrix, Inc. is the creation of a bid specification. Customers that require a system design in a format that can be submitted to other companies to bid on can contact us for assistance in creating this. Each bid specification written by Audiomatrix, Inc. will include at least the following: 1. Equipment/Material list - including manufacturer, model number, part number, color specification and quantity. 2. Wiring Diagrams- block diagrams detailing system connections. 3. Cabinet Layout Drawings- a 2D drawing showing equipment cabinet details, product positioning within the cabinet(s), cabinet dimensions and power requirements. 4. Zoning Charts- as required, we can supply speaker and/or music zoning charts using customer data for areas designated by the client or architect firm. 5. Manufacturer’s SRP- we provide a total cost for the project materials using the manufacturer’s recommended suggested retail price in order to give the customer a budget price to work from. 6. Product Literature/Specifications- all bid specifications will include literature on each product which is part of the project along with specific data sheets for those products. 7. Substitutions- a complete list of acceptable product substitutions where applicable is provided. Other customer requirements can be added to the above list of materials. Bid specifications will be provided in a hard copy binder with electronic pdf versions of most project data also available. |
For auditioning system components, we have a large demonstration room that allows our customers to listen to any number of products with a full complement of bass cabinets and hear the result immediately.
