Our consultants work closely with architects, contractors and other design professionals to ensure that each project meets the highest specifications in Acoustics, Ergonomics, Lighting Design and Aesthetics. We have full CAD capability and can provide detailed drawings and renderings based upon your needs.
Architectural Acoustics
Architectural Acoustics is one of the most important, yet underestimated aspects of any critical listening environments. It requires a combined knowledge of Science, Mathematics, Art, Engineering, Software, Measurement Systems and Practical Installation and Integration Criteria.
SDG works closely with architects, contracting firms and end users, to design spaces that require controlled acoustics. This can include Houses of Worship, Concert Halls, Recording Studios, Broadcast Facilities, Meeting Rooms, Conference Rooms, Specialized Classrooms, Theaters, Professional Screening Rooms, Board Rooms, Scoring Stages, Post Production Rooms, Home Theaters, Music Practice Rooms, Anechoic Chambers, Modular Studios, and Sound Isolation Rooms etc. We have advanced tools, and experience to help us design the right solution for you needs, and guarantee both technical and aesthetic perfection.
Audio Video System Design & Integration
Audio & Video System Design for auditoriums and houses of worship has evolved exponentially with the advent of new technologies. This has allowed us to design Advanced Video Systems and Extremely Accurate Speaker Arrays; as well as Display Systems with Advanced Configuration Options. We are proud to have the best products available to our designers and installers to guarantee rock solid performance. SDG can also design Advanced Audio and Video Distribution Systems to allow the service to be reproduced in remote areas of the building, as well as overflow areas. We use state of the art simulation and prediction software, and measurement tools to ensure that our designs are perfect for your performance, aesthetic and budgetary needs.
Video Projection & Image Magnification
With the use of high end computer programs churches now have the capability to show the congregation the words to each song, scriptures and even project the speaker and stage onto large multimedia screens. This technology allows the audience member to have superior interaction with the worship leader and excels their worship experience. SDG’s designers and installers carefully select the best solution to meet our client’s performance and budgetary needs. SDG offers different technologies ranging from Front and Rear Projection Screens, Plasma & LCD Screens, Projectors and Advanced LED displays. We can also help you integrate the right presentation software to allow you the flexibility to display various forms of media.
Broadcast Video Production & Lighting
Broadcast Production requires a careful harmony between Quality Equipment, Balanced Lighting, System Configuration and Trained Personnel. SDG has experts with extensive knowledge and experience in Broadcast and Film production. This allows us to design and install systems that will offer our clients the best solution for their needs, from Basic Video Production to full blown High Definition Broadcast Systems with Full Control and Post Production capability.
Recording & Duplication Systems
Modern recording and duplication equipment has become more affordable than ever before, and has allowed churches to take their production capabilities to a whole new level. SDG can help you design a Recording and Duplication System that will meet and grow with your needs. We can cater to everything from a Simple CD Recorder to Multi-Track Digital Recording, Advanced Editing and Mass Duplication Systems. We can also provide your staff with the training to carry out their tasks efficiently and professionally.
Audio Analysis & Calibration
SDG utilizes State Of The Art Analysis, Test Measurement and Calibration Software, allowing us to ensure that the adjustments we make to your system will give you the best possible performance you can get. Our engineers and technicians are trained to evaluate every aspect of your system, Electronic and Acoustic; and give you documentation showing what your system is like before we work on it, and what it will be after we are done. This will also allow your ministry to have detailed maintenance records and track your equipments performance over time. SDG also offers Advanced Calibration of Video Devices to ensure that you are getting the best performance and longevity from your projectors, LCD, Plasma’s and other display devices.
Personnel Training
One of the biggest handicaps of any ministry or worship facility is that the personnel using the equipment are usually comprised of under-trained volunteers. Many volunteers have a desire to be excellent in their service, but lack the training and experience to get the best performance from the system.
SDG’s team is comprised of individuals who personally volunteer at their local churches and have experience in relating to such situations. We have developed easy to understand training courses to help your personnel become proficient as Sound, Video and Lighting Operators, and even Basic System Technicians. SDG also offers Advanced Training based upon the needs of the church.
We work closely with various Professional Associations and Institutions of Higher Learning to ensure that our syllabus is up to par with industry trends and training practices. SDG also participates in various Regional and National Conferences and Seminars that focus on Education in Audio and Video. We are not just good at designing exceptional systems; we want to ensure that you can get the best out of them yourselves.
