Frustrated with the sound system? No one seems to be able to fix it for you? Spending as "solutions"? Read more ...
There has been much discussed recently integrated audio / sound companies have installed a sound system to the customer and the customer left totally dissatisfied with the system and the service they received. Many times, these customers will go to another company that offers a "solution" that addresses the problems resulting from the first attempt. These solutions often leave you more frustrated and pulling her hair to find the right solution. It is not difficult to understand why many of us are built to meet customers who are frustrated, and less willing to sign a little more than more money.
It 'important to fully understand what things sound system can be before they can find a good solution to solve the problem. For example, I found a church that was the sound system installed several years ago. Member of the Church had offered to install and design a system for the church. Except for a few good choices for the march, the system was a disaster. poor positioning of the speakers were guilty of a lot of problems. The church had now want more money when you were lucky enough to have had this 'solution'. Many of the church questioned the real cause of the problem. Instead, more money, accusing the guy sound like a good idea. My point: it is always important to first understand the cause of the problem.
Find the cause: You may find you do not know how to find the cause. You can not be fully expert. That is why hiring an outside integrator, right? First contact with local integrators. Visit his website and see other work they did. Look for places that might be similar to yours. Many integrators do not charge to go out and do a site survey or consultation. Take advantage of these offers, and use. Ask them to go out and have a look in the system. Describe the things that you feel bad about it. A person with experience will be able to give you ideas for your situation. They can give you a better idea of what might be causing the problem, besides the quantity of any work, service, etc, would cost. Check the company and the owner. In general, its wise to find someone who has a good online presence and is very involved in their industry.
If the company offers a blog, would be a good idea to check it out. Then other companies such negotiations. Following a series of companies to offer a consultation should be a good idea of what the real problems are in the system.
What company to choose: this is the next part of the process. You may receive several competing offers, and now has to decide who would be best to hire. It is a difficult part. Many of us would be willing to go to the highest bidder. I would strongly suggest that failure to follow this path. According to research, choose an integrator / healthy society that is very experienced. Must have a good presence in the industry.
You can ask for referrals, or look at other projects they have worked. Resources on the Internet can be useful and important tools for research companies. Look for a company that is established and you feel safe. More importantly, what is their policy on training and after sales support. You may end up paying slightly more for a company that offers an excellent after-sales service and support, but you'll appreciate the extra expense when it results in fewer headaches.
Wherever you are, are integrated right and wrong. I met many people who were clients of such integrators who are simply interested in a sale, and disappear after the sale and installation is complete. Do a little shopping and research can offer the benefits are many. I meet many houses of worship that are "contaminated" by a sound system installation went wrong. They are frustrated, and do not know who to trust.
