Making Noise Come Out of Boxes Since 1987
powered by ACCI since 2017 MAKING NOISE COME OUT OF BOXES
our foundation is live sound reinforcement.
There is more to the reproduction of music and the amplification of intelligible speech than the ability to influence a committee with a snazzy Powerpoint presentation and run wire from point A to point B. You might be surprised to learn that there are sound system contractors who, while adept at assembling persuasive presentations have no experience at "operating" a real sound reinforcement syst
em in front of a live audience or congregation. At Donovan Audio Designs, our experience is tangible... while many of today's sound system sellers were in school, deciding whether to become lawyers, plumbers, stockbrokers, golfers or cosmetologists, we were operating sound systems at events... featuring real performers, musicians, entertainers, politicians on stage... events featuring prominent public figures... events with thousands of people in attendance. We weren't just putting pen to paper. We were making noise come out of boxes. We've been entrusted with work for all branches of Government... Federal... State... County... City... for the Air Force, the Army, the Marine Corps and the White House Press Corps. We've worked with the Billy Graham Crusades, with Ray Charles & His Orchestra, with the Rolling Stones... with Mack Truck Corporation, with Toys'R'Us... we've worked for public and private companies, large and small. And now we hope you'll take our experience into consideration when choosing a system provider for your next project, whether it's sound reinforcement, stage lighting, acoustic control, video support, IT services, full-service communications contracting, network infrastructure, teleconferencing, maintenance (or mitigating the headaches of your existing installation.)
Donovan Audio Designs has been "making noise come out of boxes" since 1987, and is powered by ACCI (Advanced Cable Connection Inc)... bridging the gap between construction and IT since 1987. St License #ES0000181

It's Black Friday and I'm the only person in our 17,000 sf office. How did Staples KNOW I'd be at work to text me a Black Friday sale offer on office supplies. I guess I'll run out and see if I can save 25¢ on paper clips!🤦🖇

Every year about this time I am compelled to share my first attempt at cartooning on an iPad from 10 years ago. (My dad would probably disown me!) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
