audio / visual

As a part of Acumen’s Technology Consulting Group, we provide full audio-visual (A/V) consulting services. Our AV consultants have a vast amount of expertise in local and international projects. Our AV consultants are supported by a team of CADD technologist and skilled administrative staff throughout the design process; this allows our AV consultants to focus on what they do besst… AV design.

We are completely independent of any manufacturer, vendor, or contractor. Our AV projects have included: sports arenas, conference facilities, exhibits, museums, science and interpretive centres, planetariums, expositions, theme parks, and educational facilities.

We assist in the development of user requirements, audio visual system design, architectural integration of AV systems, technical specification writing, tendering, bid evaluation, contract administration, and acceptance testing. Our AV specialists have 60 years of combined audio visual experience, including pioneering experience with interactive theatres.

In 2005 we further strengthened our team by merging with Conceptron, bringing onboard Garry Musgrave as our Sr. AV Consultant along with over 25 years of audio-visual expertise.
