As independent Audio
Visual service provider, KAVS has provided consulting services for over 500 projects nationally
including hotels, conference and convention centers,
spas and resorts, government facilities, corporate board rooms, theaters and
auditoria, schools and electronic classrooms, training and meeting rooms, courtrooms, places of
worship, restaurants and nightclubs, sports facilities and venues, and command and control centers.
KAVS brings to its clients the perspectives of strategic technology planning and development, comprehensive coordination of
infrastructure through operations, and a vision of
the future that anticipates and accommodates both client and guest needs and expectations.
KAVS is committed to a philosophy of
high-quality guest experience and
operational efficiency. A
focus on the user experience influences KAVS’s design approach and is emphasized in the classes that they teach, the
articles that they write, and in its overall consulting
perspective. KAVS believes that its first hand
experience in systems design and AV operations makes it unique among audio
visual consultants. KAVS does not sell, manufacture, or install equipment or systems. KAVS is committed
to a philosophy of client advocacy and technical excellence.
In addition to our client and user centered philosophy we also design to
ensure that our Five Tenets of quality audio visual system design are present in our
work:
Reliability – The most important of
all issues. Anything less than consistent, reliable service will affect the reputation of our systems and the
property.
Flexibility – we offer flexible services to our clients to meet their ever changing
needs and wants.
Ease of use – Logical, intuitive
controls for the
system and equipment permit quick setup and changes to
the system configuration by all levels of
staff.
Performance - as the
perception and expectancy of a high quality auditory and visual experience increases in our
clients, our audio visual
systems need to keep pace. Legibility, intelligibility, dynamic range and signal to noise ratios are some of the areas we address to accommodate the heightened sophistication of
the audience
Cost-Effectiveness – Each system component must be evaluated using these quality criteria for cost and benefit.
Does it enhance reliability, flexibility, ease of use and performance? If it doesn’t, it should not be a part of the
system.
Design Standards
We are responsible for authoring and updating the audio visual and acoustics Master Design Standards for several flags including GAVI Alliance-HYATT,E-Learning forum at Milimani
city, The Economist Forum-HYAAT, World Economic Forum, E.A Oil & Gas
Summit, Sovereign, and have edited or contributed to many others. We are currently engaged to develop the
audio visual and acoustics design standards for the Tourism Development and Investment Company in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Peer Reviews for Quality Assurance and Value Engineering Reviews
We are frequently engaged by both hotel management companies and by
developers to provide “peer review” quality control and value engineering reviews for both sound and audio visual services. Our peer and
value engineering review activities inform and become part of our design activities ensuring the development of comprehensive and coordinated designs.
