TECHNICAL RESOURCES

Our design team is here to make your job easy. We can assist with the smallest projects, whether you need a simple sound system designed, or full project management and commissioning, we have the resources you need to complete the project. Click here to view some of our Installs.

In any application there are many things to consider - What are the areas that need the most coverage? What is the level of volume required? What are we trying to reproduce and how much bandwidth is required? Will the system feedback? Can everyone understand what is being said? Without a properly designed system you can get any one of these wrong and end up spending more time and money fixing the problem. We can show how your audio system will perform before it is installed.

Speaker and Room Modelling:

Each project is different; for instance a speaker that sounds a certain way in one room can sound completely different in another. Although the speaker itself hasn't changed, the room it's in will affect and colour the sound by absorbing and reflecting different frequencies. Knowing how much your room will affect the sound can be predicted by our modelling software. Steps can then be taken to treat the room if necessary.

                 

Wiring and Cabling Schematics:

Once you have the system designed and the product has been specified, the installer will need to know how to put it all together. As part of our project management we create a set of wiring schematics detailing the cables and connectors required to make it all work. The installer can then work to the exact specifications from your design ready for commissioning.

Commissioning:

One of the most important parts of any sound system is the commissioning and tuning phase. Depending on your installation, you may require certain pieces of equipment to be programmed and set, and the system tuned for your room. At Jands we have the programming expertise required to optimize the system to its full potential. Our objective is to make the system sound as good as it can and as simple to use as possible.
