Client Success Story: The Town of Dumfries, Virginia
Like most towns, Dumfries, VA, holds regularly scheduled meetings for their city council and mayor. The council, made up of eight or nine men and women, discusses and votes on local issues and legislation, as well as holds public hearings for residents to discuss important town issues. The town’s offices and Council meeting spaces were outdated and in need of updated technology to help meet the needs of this growing and busy northern Virginia town. The town changed facilities to a new building across the street, and asked Audio-Video Group to help update their new digs. We started by introducing…
Client Success Story: The Weinberg Center for the Arts
The Weinberg Center for the Arts is a staple of the Frederick community. Each year, people of all ages enjoy their lineup of comedians, musical acts, movies, and more! But with so many of these acts using the theater’s projector, it was time for an overhaul of their system. In phase one of the project, AVG upgraded their video projection and video switching equipment. To kick off the project, AVG researched the best projector for the Weinberg. They use it often for their movie series, backdrops for bands and concerts, and film festivals, so it was important the projector was…
Client Success Story: Calvary Chapel in Ellicott City
Time for another great audio project brought to you by the team at Audio-Video Group! AVG was called upon to help design and implement a new sound system for Calvary Chapel in Ellicott City, Maryland. Like many growing churches, Calvary Chapel had recently transitioned from a portable meeting space to a permanent space. This space, like many, was previously occupied and required some changes to make it functional. One major need—an audio system! Lead Pastor Dan Sexton is big on quality—so much so, that he wanted to ensure that everything was done right from the start. We can appreciate that,…
Client Success Story: Farm Credit
In late 2017, AVG was approached by the financial organization and lender Farm Credit to help design and implement a new A/V system for their Board Room. Farm Credit was planning a refresh of their main Maryland office located in Westminster. A main component of the refresh consisted of the addition of two new wings off their existing office building. One of the wings would incorporate their new and updated Board Room. AVG went to task, and started working on a design to incorporate audio, video, and control systems for the new space. It took almost a year to implement…
Client Success Story: Organization of American States
Lately, we’ve been telling you everything you need to know about conferencing microphones—what they do, how they work, and why they’re effective. So now, we’re going to show you how one of our clients has had success with conferencing systems. The Organization of American States (OAS) brings together 35 independent states of the Americas to establish peace and justice, promote solidarity, strengthen collaboration, and defend sovereignty. Their Washington, D.C., office often hosts large member meetings, where all delegates need to be heard, be translated, and be able to vote. That’s where AVG comes in. For this project, we used Brahler…

Client Success Story: Stauffer Funeral Home
For more than 45 years, Stauffer Funeral Home has been providing funeral arrangements and services for the Frederick community. Their funeral home originally utilized an analog audio system that we installed more than a decade ago. The system is used to route audio, like background music or services, to different areas within the building. At the time of installation, the system was intuitive, easy to use, and cutting-edge technology. Since that time, technology has evolved, and new products have become available to make systems like this easier to use. We started by upgrading the digital signal processor and a control…
Client Success Story: Episcopal High School Classroom and Library
We love working with Episcopal High School and bringing the coolest new technology to their campus. Recently, we helped improve some of their classrooms and study areas, upgrading existing systems and bringing new equipment to the boarding school.
