We do Pro?

It's not our usual gig to do professional audio gear.  We also know that you can't say 'We do home theaters, we can do Pro Audio, right?'  It's not that simple.  We pride ourselves on getting the job done right the first time and having our customer love what we've done.  So much so that if this was a nightclub or auditorium and we felt it was beyond our capabilities we would recommend a partner company that can get the job done.

While there was some call for professional audio; -the client wanted to mix a wireless headphone microphone with a CD or iPod playing workout tunes, this systems requirements did not push the limits.  The first step in designing the system is the same for home or school or corporate installations.  Get all the stakeholders present and ask enough questions to get a true picture of what everyone wants.

SIDEBAR - A lot of our customers ask us what WEW llc stands for.  We go by Smarthome & Theater Systems but our legal name is WEW.  Those last 3 words of the last paragraph - What Everyone Wants.  Clever, Huh?

What can we get 'cha?

OK, back to the story,  Our Gym teacher wants to be able to run around the gym and have his voice projected thru the sound system.  He also wants to incorporate music through a CD or iPod into class to get the students to enjoy exercise even more.  Dave tells me his Master's Thesis was on the effect of music on workout results. See I listen to my clients.

Our Music Teacher Laurie wants a reliable system for school plays.  One that has multiple microphones, both wired and wireless (and the wired mics are pre-existing our install).  Laurie needs the ability to mix the different mics together and set different levels for each to match the loudness of each speaker.  It would be great to mix in theme music from a CD and have a little bass and treble control without having a mixing board so complicated no one would be able to use it.

After one last phone conversation its decided it would be great to have a portable monitor speaker.  One that could be placed in the middle of the gym floor facing the stage so the kids can hear themselves and other cues. But also this can be moved off the floor so the gym can be a gym.

This was one of the easiest systems to design because the clients knew exactly what they wanted.  Maybe not what equipment would get the job done, but that's my job anyway.

Make the kids smile, but who are the kids here?

So the system was designed, presented and installed.  The equipment total was within a budget the PTA could afford.  Brand new PA speakers on the wall, a simple mixer and amp with tone controls and a pretty kickin' wireless mic that we can add many more to the system if they require.

There was one last item to help make the system affordable.  I have to mention it here.  I'm about to pat myself on my back, but hey I'm a business man and I'm trying to get more business.  Smarthome & Theater Systems donated the labor for install!  I wanted the job.  I wanted to help out the kids in a great city and I wanted the parents of those kids to hear my company name.

On the day we demo'd the system, the teachers were like kids.  All big smiles and 'wow listen to that' and 'hey it can do this'.  That's pretty satisfying too.  If your school needs help with a PA system for the gym or stage, please give us a call and we will do everything we can to help you out.
