AV Design

Systems designed for how people actually meet, present, and decide.

System design & documentation
Technical assessments & budgets
Control system programming
Commissioning & optimization

Independent AV consulting and design for spaces that need to work the first time—and keep working.

We design and document audio visual systems for businesses, institutions, and governments across Canada. As a fully independent firm, recommendations follow your outcomes—not a product catalog.

Work spans system design, technical assessments and cost estimates, budget development, control system programming, and commissioning so the installed result matches the intent.

Includes

AV system design consulting and documentation
Technical assessments and cost estimates
Budget development for capital planning
Audio visual and control system programming
System commissioning and acceptance support
Sound masking where privacy and focus matter

Acoustics

Clear speech first. Room acoustics that make every seat usable.

Room acoustics modeling
Speech intelligibility
Sound masking
On-site measurement

Great sound starts with great acoustics—speech clarity, less distraction, and rooms that support the AV system instead of fighting it.

We provide acoustic design and measurement for council chambers, classrooms, boardrooms, worship spaces, and performing venues. Designs align with architectural goals while solving real-world noise, echo, and intelligibility problems.

Modeling and on-site measurement drive decisions—not guesswork—so treatments and loudspeaker plans are validated before and after install.

Includes

Room acoustics analysis and modeling (including EASE)
Reverberation time (RT60) analysis for speech and music
Noise isolation and soundproofing for privacy
Absorption and diffusion treatment design
Coordination with architects and mechanical engineers on HVAC noise and vibration
On-site measurements and post-installation verification

Why Comtec

Data-driven recommendations from modeling and measurement
Solutions that integrate with AV systems—not decorate around them
Product-neutral advice focused on results
Experience in speech-critical rooms: courts, classrooms, and chambers

Project Management

Your advocate from tender through final sign-off.

Tender & bid evaluation
Construction support
Site reviews
As-built documentation

We act as the client's advocate through the full project lifecycle—bridging technology, construction, and real-world use.

Beyond design, we manage AV delivery so installs stay on time, on specification, and aligned with design intent. Deep construction and systems experience helps reduce risk and control cost.

Decades of work in chambers, corporate offices, education, and public safety means systems are delivered as designed—with accountability through final acceptance.

Includes

Installation project management and trade coordination
Independent tender and bid evaluation
Construction support, site walkthroughs, and drawing reviews
Final commissioning, as-built documentation, and user training

Why Comtec

Proven methodology with punch lists and acceptance testing
Vendor-agnostic oversight focused on your interests
Clear documentation, communication, and dependable timelines
Collaboration with contractors, architects, IT, and facilities

Teams & Zoom Rooms

Hybrid rooms that start on time and stay simple to use.

Teams Room design
Zoom Room design
UX-focused control
Hybrid room standards

Specialized consulting for Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, and hybrid standards people can actually run.

We design collaboration rooms around how your teams meet—not around leftover equipment choices. Camera coverage, audio pickup, display layout, and control UX are planned together so hybrid calls start on time.

Where projects use Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), we participate as the AV specialist so technology decisions stay coordinated with architecture and construction.

Includes

Teams Room design and consulting
Zoom Room design and consulting
Hybrid room standards and repeatable room types
User-focused control and automation
IPD participation when the project calls for it

Technology Audits

Independent reviews of what works, what fails, and what to fix next.

Infrastructure assessment
Performance testing
Upgrade roadmaps
Vendor-neutral advice

When systems underperform, feel outdated, or frustrate users, an independent audit shows what to keep, fix, or replace.

We evaluate performance, usability, and future-readiness across existing AV systems—helping organizations cut inefficiency, control cost, and plan upgrades without a sales agenda.

Assessments are tailored to your facilities, users, and capital plans, with clear reporting for decision-makers.

Includes

Analysis of displays, projectors, microphones, control, and AV-over-IP
Identification of failures, compatibility gaps, and UI problems
Performance testing in meeting rooms, classrooms, and command spaces
Speech intelligibility and video clarity evaluation
Network and control review for scale, reliability, and security
Actionable upgrade, standardization, or redesign recommendations
Roadmaps from legacy platforms to modern, unified AV

Why Comtec

Technology-agnostic consultants—no hidden product push
Multi-site experience for schools, municipalities, and enterprises
Deep Teams, Zoom, hybrid learning, and AV-over-IP knowledge
Budget-conscious recommendations grounded in real-world performance

Setup & Optimization

Calibration and tuning so the install matches the design intent.

DSP & microphone tuning
Video calibration
Control UX refinement
AV-over-IP optimization

Installation alone isn't enough. Setup and optimization is where the investment either succeeds—or falls short.

We specialize in this final stage: calibrating, testing, and fine-tuning so systems deliver performance, usability, and reliability. Unlike firms that stop at install, we stay until it works the way it should.

Certified programming and tuning expertise, with end-user and IT collaboration so the system matches real-world use.

Includes

DSP tuning for mic pickup, echo cancellation, and speech intelligibility
Video calibration for resolution, color, and display alignment
Control configuration for simple, automated UX
Network and AV-over-IP traffic optimization
Real-world testing of hybrid meetings, presentations, and events
Final verification, user testing, and performance validation

Why Comtec

Setup treated as a distinct phase—not an afterthought
Focus on resolving glitches and poor audio or video quality
User-focused design that is easier to support day to day
Involvement through commissioning, onsite testing, and sign-off

Managed Services

Lifecycle support after commissioning—so systems stay current, usable, and funded.

Managed services & lifecycle support
Planned obsolescence planning
Refresh & upgrade reporting
Long-term system stewardship

Even after sign-off, systems need stewardship—support, updates, and a plan for what ages out.

Under support agreements we provide responsive troubleshooting, system updates, and device replacement guidance. We are not a hardware supplier, but we point you to best-value solutions.

Future-proofing includes planned obsolescence planning and reporting so refresh cycles are funded before rooms fail users.

Includes

Managed services and lifecycle support agreements
Planned obsolescence planning and reporting
Refresh and upgrade roadmaps
Ongoing troubleshooting and system updates
Guidance on device replacement without a product agenda
