Pro Acoustics Designs Customized Commercial Audio Sound Systems for Black Hills Smart Homes Installations in South Dakota
Chris Weeks’ passion for smart home technology systems inspired him to start his own business, Black Hills Smart Homes. This smart home automation system company in the Black Hills of South Dakota gained traction by fully automating Airbnb properties and family homes. As his business expanded to churches and businesses, he began installing 70-volt custom audio sound systems as well. Weeks knew that he needed to find a partner in the audio world who could provide the audio equipment needed for all of his projects.
When Weeks was approached by a local grocery store for an audio sound system installation in their new location, he immediately started looking for the best commercial sound system design for them. After some research, he decided that Pro Acoustics could be the perfect place to get the sound equipment he needed from people who know the commercial audio system business.
Needing a solution ASAP, he requested a quote from Pro Acoustics. Nathan, one of our sales engineers, responded within the hour. “This quick response was “exactly what I needed to ensure I got the bid,” says Weeks.
Weeks says, since the grocery store install “was a new venture for me, it was good to know that I was working with experts who knew exactly what equipment would pair well together, so there was no headache on my end wondering if I got the right products for my application.”
The grocery store needed a lot of speakers to cover the large shopping floor, and they wanted the ability to run multiple zones for their back room and office areas. Nathan helped Weeks understand how many speakers he would need to get the best coverage while keeping the sound quality consistent. He was able to build a custom sound system to meet the grocery store’s specific needs.
Nathan chose to use Pure Resonance Audio PD6 pendant mount loudspeakers because they are designed specifically for open-ceiling commercial applications. These 70-volt pendant mount loudspeakers are easy to install and provide clear intelligible audio for paging, announcements, foreground music, and background music.
He paired the Pure Resonance Audio pendant speakers with a Pure Resonance Audio RZMA120BT multi-zone amplifier so the grocery store has the ability to play different music and volumes in their facility. The RZMA120BT 4-zone 120W Bluetooth rack mount mixer amplifier is an all-in-one solution for configuring and operating multi-zone audio systems, Its advanced matrix technology allows you to route up to four-zone selectable inputs to be assigned to a zone, or across multiple zones with the push of a button. Each input is supplied with separate bass, treble, and volume control for precise sound in each individual zone.
He completed the sound system with a remote paging microphone station and 1000ft of speaker wire needed for the installation. The Pure Resonance Audio PMZ16 remote paging microphone station with zone control and chimes allows the grocery store the ability to make announcements to a single zone, group of zones, and/or all zones when connected to the Pure Resonance Audio RZMA120BT multi-zone mixer-amplifier.
Weeks says, “The equipment was perfect. My client couldn’t have been happier. It filled the area so well with sound, even at lower volumes, that you couldn’t even sense where the sound was coming from. It was exactly what was needed for that room.”
Weeks knew that finding a reputable business to work with wouldn’t be easy. He puts his own neck on the line for his clients so he needs to make sure that he can get the products he needs at the prices he quotes his clients, and it all needs to come together like he promises. After finding Pro Acoustics, he says, “Pro Acoustics has come through for me more than once now, and I'll be coming back again.”
Because of his good relationship with Pro Acoustics, Weeks has continued to work with us to get the best audio system equipment, most recently purchasing a commercial speaker system featuring SoundTube RS62-EZ pendant and CM31-EZ in-ceiling speakers for a church sound system installation.
“You guys have been great to work with. I think your prices are fair and I’ve gotten the last two bids easily with the money I'm saving my clients just from working with you guys. Thanks again, I'll be sure to be back.”
