Conference room AV
for meetings that start on time.

What is in a conference room installation?

A commercial display, a camera, microphones and speakers, a room controller or conferencing appliance, wireless presentation, a touch panel, and the cabling and power behind them. For most rooms we install the Yamaha CS-800 video collaboration bar, one unit under the display. It has a 4K camera that frames whoever is in the room, a beamforming microphone array that follows the speaker, and a speaker built by an audio company.

For rooms with several sources we add AVPro ConferX wall plates at each seat. They accept HDMI, USB-C and VGA and switch to the display in under three seconds for 4K. Consumer TVs are rated for four to six hours a day. The 55-inch to 110-inch commercial panels we specify run 16 hours a day. They take a direct signal without a smart TV menu in the way, and mount without a consumer bezel. The commercial hub shows how the room fits the rest of the building.

Which rooms do we build?

Huddle rooms, mid-size conference rooms, executive boardrooms, training and all-hands rooms, multi-room systems and showrooms. A huddle room gets a video bar, a wall plate and a one-button controller. A 10-to-20 person conference room gets a sized commercial display, a conferencing camera, ceiling microphones and wireless presentation. It is built for hybrid meetings where the remote side has to see and hear everyone.

A boardroom gets a 98-inch or 110-inch display, a ceiling microphone array, a professional camera and a touch panel that runs lighting and shades too. A training room adds a laser projector for the back row, zoned audio and room-combine so two rooms merge for a company meeting. A showroom ties the display, audio, lighting and shades to one panel so the room is part of the pitch.

Teams or Zoom: what do we install?

Hardware certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom that also works with Google Meet, so the platform your company runs is the one the room joins. Scheduled meetings appear on the controller and start in one tap. A visitor with a laptop presents over a single USB-C cable or wirelessly, and the room's camera and microphones follow. The conferencing appliance sits on its own network segment, cabled by commercial infrastructure, so a room PC never shares a VLAN with the point-of-sale or the client files.

How does one-tap control work?

A wall or tabletop touch panel runs display, source, volume, lighting, shades and the call from one screen. Presets cover Presentation, Video Call, Whiteboard and End Meeting. One tap turns the display on, picks the source, dims the lights and wakes the microphones; one tap at the end powers it all down.

We program every room ourselves as a Control4 Authorized Dealer, so ten rooms in one building behave the same way and nobody needs a manual. The audio is engineered rather than assembled: echo cancellation, noise gating and DSP tuning so the far end hears the back corner of the room without the HVAC.

What does it cost?

As of September 2026 our installed conference rooms run $6,500 to $95,000 or more, and the room assessment turns that spread into a fixed number. A huddle room runs $6,500 to $16,000: video bar, commercial display, wall plate, one-button controller and the cabling. A standard conference room runs $16,000 to $42,000. An executive boardroom or a multi-room system runs $42,000 to $95,000 or more. That tier includes a 98-inch or 110-inch display, PTZ camera, ceiling microphone array with DSP and wireless presentation. It also includes a touch panel with lighting and shade control, shared rack equipment and structured cabling.

The proposal you approve is a fixed price before sales tax; Washington sales tax is added as a line item on the invoice. Room size, display specification, conferencing scope and control integration drive the number more than any single product. The instant quote gives you a first figure in a few minutes.

How does the process work?

Room assessment within a week, a fixed proposal, and a typical lead time of two to six weeks from approval to the first meeting. At the assessment we measure dimensions, ceiling height, wall construction, ambient light, HVAC noise and existing cabling, and we ask how your team runs meetings. The proposal specifies the display, camera placement, microphone pattern, signal routing, touch panel layout and lighting or shade integration.

Installation runs after 5 or on a weekend so the room stays in use. Our own team designs every room; on commercial projects we bring in licensed trade partners under our design and supervision. Handoff includes DSP tuning, camera presets, cable labels, a signal flow diagram and a walkthrough with the people who run the meetings. After that, support at published rates and the CURATOR remote care plan.

Where do we work?

We work from 415 Railroad Ave S, Kent, WA 98032, across south King County and Pierce County. That covers Kent, Renton, Tukwila, Federal Way, Auburn, Covington and Maple Valley, Tacoma, Puyallup, Sumner, Bonney Lake and Tehaleh.

The same office gets business security and access control on the doors. The security hub covers monitoring, and large format display covers the 100-inch screen on its own. Before your GC bids the room, commercial AV consulting writes the room specification. See the office network we rebuilt for South Sound Law Group, and the Washington Pottery Company and Clyde's BBQ projects on the hub.
