Schools & Government

Since our beginning we have been active in assisting educational facilities with upgrading and improving the performance of their audio video systems.  Whether it is a sound system in a gymnasium, pool, theater, classroom or football field we have worked hard to raise the performance standards for these systems.  We are happy to see that many of the solutions we started recommending years ago have now become standard for most facility renovations and new construction.

We are excited to continue this mission by providing new training and educational standards for our system designs  and installations that assure the end user staff and students get the most from their investment.

We also wok hard to add value to governmental purchases and services.

		Dakota High School Auditorium The Task:  After many years of inadequate sound The Chippewa Valley School District contracted Barton Malow Technologies division to design and oversee the installation of a new Audio/Video system for one of their High School Auditoriums.
		Dakota High School Stadium The Task: Update a Stadium audio system to meet the demands of an ever popular high school athletic program.
		Fitzgerald High School The Task: To upgrade the current audio and video system in the high school auditorium to meet the needs of the current curriculum and support community programs that frequent the facility.
		Fraser High School The Task:  Provide a new sound system for the performing arts center as designed by Barton Malow.
		State of Michigan House of Representatives The Task:  Design and install an update to the Michigan House of reps audio system.  The new system should function the same as an earlier solution installed in the Michigan Senate.
		State of Michigan Senate Chambers The Task: Install  an update to the Michigan Senate’s sound system designed by Simoni Systems of Bay City, Michigan. The new system needed to provide a digital processing path and new preamp stages for all inputs. The existing control surface needed to be modified to control the new system while maintaining it’s current look and feel.
		South Lyon High School The Task: In August of 2003, a severe thunderstorm roared through Western Wayne County and the City of South Lyon, Michigan. A  lightning strike hit one of the football field towers and completely shorted out all speakers mounted on the pole. The power surge found its way down the speaker lines and finally ended up in the equipment rack, damaging the amplifiers and mixer. The school district was planning on upgrading their lighting system and press box. They took advantage of the opportunity to have Advanced Lighting & Sound replace and upgrade the sound system so it would service them well into the future and compliment their “showcase” facility. “
