Satisfied Clients

SOUND / VIDEO STUDIOS, CHURCHES & OFFICE BUILDINGS

• Applause Multimedia has provided superior design and installation for complete, fully integrated video broadcast and post-production studios. We also design, build and service audio recording studios. Including, the control booths and recording stages.
• For churches, sound systems have been installed in, sanctuaries, chapels, fellowship halls, and gyms. Sound systems (PA), are built into a central cluster design. This creates a single-point dispersion for the sound. Also, under balcony ceiling speakers can be used to support areas not covered by the central cluster.
• Audio and video presentations for corporate boardrooms using custom programmed Touchpanels.  These can control lights, slide projectors, video screens, and DVD recorders and playback units.
• Background sound for waiting rooms.

nightclubs and entertainment rooms

• AUDIO
• Primary nightclub sound systems. The highest quality, most dependable products available in the world are used in these systems. They reproduce the entire audio spectrum. To reproduce the very low frequencies, Sub-woofers are used. They are felt, more than heard. To cover the lower-ranges, Mid-bass woofers are included. Also, multiple drivers and horns cover the mid-ranges. Finally, tweeters handle sound from 6800 Hz to beyond the audible range.

Finest Components In Our Systems

•  In Applause systems, self-analyzing power amplifiers are used  They add reliability and as a result, are almost impervious to problems. Including, misuse, electronic failures, power surges, and voltage fluctuations.  Also, high quality signal processing and audio sources are also included.
•  To reinforce the nightclub audio, distributed sound is installed to provide even sound to every part of the nightclub. This adds excitement and involvement to the social areas.

• VIDEO
• The typical video system would have multiple video flat-screen monitors, as well as, big screen projectors. Any individual screen could view any source component throughout the nightclub. For example, cameras, Blu-Ray 8K Ultra HDR DVD players, satellite channels or off-air broadcasts. This adds a great deal of excitement to the room.
• Video walls can consist of sixteen or thirty-two flat-panel television monitors, or big screen TVs. They are stacked to form a giant cube. In addition, a digital video processor allows for different viewing options including, one large picture, or individual pictures, for example.
•  By using a digital special effects generator, special effects can be viewed on all video displays in the nightclub. Major broadcasting companies use these type of effects devices to produce special effects. Including wipes, cuts, colorization, dissolving, positioning and many other effects using the live cameras, DVD’s or any video source.
• Live video cameras. Above all, guests derive more enjoyment from seeing themselves on TV than from any other major effect in the nightclub. Seeing yourself on a 20-foot video screen is pretty amazing!
