“Our solutions are used in ‘sound complicated’ environments. We work with companies that are unveiling new products at elaborate special events, are giving booth tours at an international trade show, are in a remote outdoor location hosting a concert or festival or have employees in a noisy manufacturing plant or industrial site who need to communicate critical information,” says Pedersen. “No matter the situation, our team works one-on-one with clients to figure out the best way to create and deliver a perfect audio experience.”
