Conference room, restaurant and venue AV for St. Louis businesses
Conference rooms, sports-bar video walls, multi-zone audio, video-over-IP and digital signage, all controlled from one tablet by people who don’t need a tech background.
AV should disappear behind the work
AV is the most visible part of a building-technology project, and the part most often installed in a way that creates problems: conference audio that misses the back wall, bars with screens nobody can switch, boardrooms that depend on a remote someone lost.
A good install is invisible to the user. The bartender swipes on an iPad and the right game lands on the right TV. The meeting host taps join, the camera frames the room and the mics pick up everyone. The receptionist updates the lobby sign from a browser.
We program RTI for control, use Q-SYS where a room needs audio and video processing as well as control, WyreStorm for video-over-IP distribution, Bluesound for background music and Watchfire for LED walls and outdoor signs. Video-over-IP and conference cameras need bandwidth, so we design AV together with the network, not after it.
Fixes for the AV complaints we hear most
If any of these sound like your conference room, bar or lobby, this is the work we do.
Bartenders can’t switch screens during a rush, and customers get the wrong game.
An RTI iPad behind the bar with labels like “Bar” and “Patio.” Drag a feed to a screen, set the volume, done.
Remote participants can’t hear half the meeting because the mics miss the back wall.
Q-SYS processing with ceiling microphones sized to the room, echo cancellation and a camera that frames whoever is speaking.
Meetings start five minutes late while someone hunts for the right input.
One-touch join built on Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms certified hardware, with calendar integration so the room knows what’s next.
Dining-room music and bar audio bleed into each other.
Multi-zone audio with separate source and volume per zone, DSP isolation and a paging mic at the host stand.
Twenty-five screens and a switching matrix that makes every football season a service call.
WyreStorm video-over-IP. Any source to any screen, and a new display simply joins the network.
The lobby display still shows last year’s promotion.
Cloud-managed digital signage you update and schedule from a browser.
The AV systems we design and install
Displays, control, audio, conferencing and signage, designed around the people using the room.
Conference rooms
Huddle rooms to boardrooms, built on Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms certified hardware. Displays sized for the seating, ceiling mics, auto-framing cameras and a one-button control panel.
Multi-zone audio
Restaurants, bars, retail and waiting rooms. Separate source and volume per zone, paging, and Bluesound streaming with Q-SYS processing on larger jobs.
Sports-bar video
8 to 40+ independently switchable screens over WyreStorm video-over-IP, controlled from an RTI tablet.
LED walls and digital signage
Watchfire LED for lobby walls and outdoor signs, tiled displays where budget matters, and cloud-managed content for menus and wayfinding.
Custom control programming
RTI or Q-SYS interfaces built around your room names and routines, included in the install rather than billed separately.
What drives the cost of an AV project
Two rooms of the same size can price very differently. These are the factors that move the number.
Rooms, zones and displays
Each display, speaker zone and source adds hardware, cabling and programming.
Display size and type
Commercial displays, consumer TVs and LED walls sit at very different price points.
Conferencing level
A huddle-room video bar costs far less than a boardroom with ceiling mic arrays and multiple cameras.
Control and programming
A simple preset interface is quicker to build than a custom multi-room control system.
Existing cabling and mounting
Reusable cable, solid walls and open ceilings lower labor; new runs, blocking and lifts add it.
Software and licensing
Some conferencing, signage and music services carry subscriptions. We list them separately.
Every project gets a free walk-through and a line-item design at three price levels.
Commercial AV installation in St. Louis & the Metro East
From our base in Maryville, we design and install AV for businesses across St. Louis City and St. Louis County, St. Charles and Jefferson counties, and Madison, St. Clair and Monroe counties in Illinois. That includes conference rooms in Clayton and Chesterfield offices, sports bars and restaurants in Edwardsville, O’Fallon and Belleville, and council chambers, gyms and classrooms across the Metro East. We also handle the network and cabling behind the AV, so one local team owns the whole room.
A recent example is a restaurant AV and network refresh, phased over three weekends to work around service. Being local means we can schedule installs around your hours and come back on site for tuning once the room is in use. Larger projects beyond the metro are taken on by arrangement. See where we work.
From room walk-through to trained staff
Four phases, one project lead, line items from day one. An optional service agreement covers updates and support after handoff.
Where our AV work shows up
Hospitality needs bartender-proof control, offices need reliable meeting rooms, and schools and public buildings need rooms that work for whoever is at the mic.
What good AV depends on
AV works when it runs on a network built for it and the cabling is planned with it.
AV platforms we install and support
We build around RTI for control, Q-SYS for audio and video processing, WyreStorm for video-over-IP, Bluesound for background music and Watchfire for LED walls and signage. Conference rooms use Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms certified hardware. We can also work with other platforms on request.
Audio/video questions
Room timelines, Teams and Zoom, multi-zone audio, music licensing, signage and video-over-IP.
Most rooms are wired, commissioned and trained in 1–3 days once equipment is on site. Equipment lead times are usually the longer item, typically 2–6 weeks depending on availability.
Yes. We build rooms on Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms certified hardware, with calendar integration and one-touch join.
Yes, usually for clients we already work with on a commercial property. It uses the same RTI control system.
Multi-zone audio uses physical and DSP-based isolation so bar audio doesn't bleed into dining. We design isolation into the install, not as an afterthought.
Yes. RTI supports remote management, so a property manager can adjust a lobby display or an operator can change menu boards from off site.
Background music in a business needs a licensed commercial music service. Bluesound is playback hardware, not a licensing service. We help you choose a licensed service and set it up; holding the license is the operator's responsibility.
Yes. Watchfire LED for outdoor displays: weather-rated, high-brightness and built for long service life. Common for restaurants, retail and roadside visibility.
WyreStorm NetworkHD scales to dozens of sources and displays on a single network. We size the network for the actual count plus headroom.
Q-SYS is a professional audio, video and control platform with deep customization, used in large conference rooms, venues and complex multi-zone installs. For simpler rooms we may specify a smaller platform.
