The Audio
High-quality audio requires many different components, from ceiling mount or surface mount speakers to distributed amplifiers, receivers and more. Below, you’ll find some of our favorite audio brands. These brands all provide clear, pure sound and are built to last.

The Video
You may think of the video aspect of your bar as simply a large screen TV, but there is so much more to consider. Do you want interactive video? Digital signage? Multiple screens connected to form one giant display? 1080p or 4K Ultra HD? Whatever you choose, our chosen brands are top notch for commercial video.

The Control
One of the biggest things that sets great commercial AV distribution systems apart is the control system. It’s important to have a simple and quick way to manage every aspect of your bar’s AV system, from adjusting the volume to changing the TV channel to shutting everything down at closing time. Using an integrated control system, your bar staff can easily handle the AV system by just pressing a button on the tablet’s sleek touchscreen.
