01Restaurants
Dining room, bar and patio as separate zones, each with its own level. Lunch plays lighter and quieter, dinner warmer and fuller, and a kitchen page reaches only the staff who need it.
Distributed audio and PA for Dallas-Fort Worth businesses.
Zoned music, announcements and paging from the lobby to the patio, so the dining room, the bar and the office floor each get exactly the sound they need, from one control.

// Built for
Commercial audio, by venue type.Which zone plays what.
02Sports bars
Game audio where the screens are, music everywhere else, and paging that cuts through when the kitchen needs the floor. One press moves the whole room to the big match.
03Offices
Background music in reception and the break areas, paging for announcements and emergencies, and silence where people focus.
04Retail
Music by zone from a boutique shop to a shopping centre, with in-store announcements on the same system and levels set for opening and closing.
05Large venues
Even coverage across large floor plates, auditoriums and outdoor areas, with public address that works when it is needed most.
// Scope of work
What a distributed audio system includes.Line by line.
Consistent, high-quality sound from the front lobby to private offices and outdoor patios. Each zone has its own source and level: the bar plays the cocktail-hour list at seventy percent, the dining room dinner jazz at forty-five, the patio the game, all from one place.
A paging microphone at the pass or a phone reaches one zone, several or all, with priority over the music where it matters: a table is ready, a delivery is at the door, the kitchen needs the floor.
Speakers placed for even coverage, so no corner is loud and no corner is quiet: flush in-ceiling speakers in the dining room, pendants over the bar, outdoor-rated units on the patio, all matched to the ceiling and the finishes.
Amplifiers sized for the zones in a ventilated, labelled rack in the back of house, with a licensed business streaming source, TV audio and microphones on the same system. Our team reaches it remotely, so most issues are fixed before you hear about them.
Staff press a scene on an engraved keypad. A manager adjusts one zone on a wall touch panel at the end of the bar. The owner checks from a phone that the music went off at close. Schedules handle the rest by daypart.
Scalable from a boutique shop to a sports bar or an event venue with column speakers on the pillars, and designed to add zones, including the patio, as the business grows.
// How a project runs
How an audio project runs in Dallas-Fort Worth.Six steps, one team throughout.
The same people run consultation, design, installation, training and support. You get one contact, one drawing set and one number to call.
// 01
Consultation
We walk the space, or read the drawings, and listen to how the business runs.
// 02
Needs analysis
Rooms, headcount, platforms, hours of operation, growth plans and budget, written down.
// 03
Custom design
Drawings, equipment schedule and a low-voltage plan your contractor can build from.
// 04
Installation
Our own crew installs, configures and programs, around your opening hours.
// 05
Training
Your staff learn the system before handover. One page of instructions, not a manual.
// 06
Ongoing support
24-hour phone support, remote monitoring and same-day emergency service.
// Try the zones
Six zones, one screen.Move a slider and watch the room.
This is how a distributed audio system is run. Every area is a zone with its own source and level. Staff use the scenes, a manager fine-tunes a zone, and nobody walks to an amplifier.

// Across Dallas-Fort Worth
Distributed audio across Dallas-Fort Worth, from Uptown bars to Frisco offices.
Sound sets the mood of a room before anyone reads the menu, and in a busy North Texas venue it also has to carry a page to the kitchen. As a commercial audio company based in Allen, we design and install zoned audio and PA across Dallas-Fort Worth, whether that is a restaurant in Uptown or Plano, a sports bar in Frisco or Arlington, an office floor in Las Colinas or a store in Southlake.
Audio runs on the same control as the screens, the lighting and the patio systems, so game day and dinner service are one scene. Our team designs the network that carries the streams, and remains available afterwards for remote support and adjustments.
Where we work
Zoned audio and public address for Dallas and DFW restaurants, bars, offices, retail and venues, designed, installed and tuned by one team from Allen.

How a project runs
A site visit or a set of drawings, a needs analysis with your hours and growth plans, a design your contractor can build from, installation around your opening hours, staff training and ongoing remote support.
Systems we install
Zoned amplification, in-ceiling, pendant, wall and outdoor-rated speakers, paging microphones, streaming sources and keypad or touch-panel control.
Can music play in one area while announcements go to another?
Yes. The space is divided into zones, each with its own source and level. Paging and announcements can be sent to one zone, several or all, with priority over the music.
Can the volume change by itself through the day?
Yes. Schedules set the level and the source by daypart: lighter at lunch, fuller at dinner, up for the game, off at close. A manager can override any zone from a keypad, a touch panel or a phone.
Do we need a licence to play music in the business?
Playing music in a commercial space needs a business music licence or a licensed business streaming service, which is different from a personal account. We design the system around a licensed source and can point you to the options.
Does the system cover the patio as well?
Yes. Outdoor-rated speakers extend the same zones and control to patios and terraces, laid out for even coverage and rated for Texas heat and storms.
Can it be used for emergency announcements?
Yes. A paging microphone or a phone can address every zone at once with priority over the music. If the building requires a certified life-safety voice evacuation system, that is a separate, code-driven system, and we tell you honestly where the line is.
We are a small shop. Is this too big for us?
No. Systems scale from a boutique shop to a sprawling facility, and they are designed so zones can be added later.
What happens after installation?
Staff training before handover, then 24-hour phone support, remote monitoring and same-day emergency service.
