Installations -
C.V. Lloyde Music Center has enjoyed success in the design and installation of sound systems in a wide variety of facilities. Our philosophy for sound systems is that the sound quality of a professional audio system must not be compromised by the actual installation. Careful planning and design is needed to ensure that these systems reach maximum performance levels, while maintaining the aesthetics and architectural beauty of the facility. Our installation at the University of Illinois Memorial Stadium and Assembly Hall are perfect examples of the quality and scope of our installation skills. Churches and many other venues have also enjoyed the ability to keep their architectural beauty even after the installation of new sound systems to keep themselves equipped with current technology.
Free Consultation
Our relationship with a client begins with a free on-site inspection or consultation. We listen closely to the needs and desires of your organization as they pertain to the installation or upgrade of your sound system. Our design engineers absorb this information and then develop concise recommendations.
Cost-Effective Estimates
Following our recommendations will be a comprehensive, written proposal that clearly explains the installation process and equipment, while keeping your visions and budget in the forefront at all times. Literature for the proposed equipment accompanies the quotation, allowing the client written and visual information about the exact equipment that would be installed.
Word of Mouth is the Best Advertising
Our long list of satisfied clients allows us continued installation success. A partial list of facility types we have provided service to includes churches, convention centers, schools, production theatres, golf courses, restaurants, theme parks, hotels, night clubs, arenas, stadiums, exhibit halls, business offices, private homes, and many more.
