Commercial Audio Video Solutions: From Background Music to Command Centers

Audio video technology in commercial spaces has evolved far beyond a TV on the wall and a pair of speakers. Today's businesses — from multifamily amenity centers to defense contractor command rooms — demand integrated AV ecosystems that are reliable, scalable, and purpose-built for their environment. At EIG PRO, we design and deploy the full spectrum of commercial AV solutions across Texas and Oklahoma, backed by partnerships with Crestron, Control4, and RTI.

Background Music (BGM) & Sound Masking

Not every AV deployment needs to be complex. Some of our most impactful projects are straightforward background music systems for lobbies, restaurants, retail spaces, and multifamily amenity areas. A well-designed BGM system creates atmosphere, reinforces brand identity, and improves the customer or resident experience.

Sound masking is equally valuable in commercial offices, healthcare facilities, and open-plan coworking spaces. By introducing a low-level ambient sound, we reduce speech intelligibility between workstations — improving privacy, reducing distractions, and increasing productivity. We deploy systems from manufacturers like Atlas Sound, QSC, and Biamp that integrate cleanly with existing ceiling infrastructure.

Multifamily Amenity AV

Modern multifamily communities expect more than basic cable in the clubhouse. We outfit amenity centers, fitness rooms, pool areas, and resident lounges with distributed audio, weatherproof outdoor speakers, digital signage displays, and streaming-ready presentation systems. Whether it's a 300-unit garden-style community or a Class A high-rise, the amenity AV package is a major differentiator for leasing teams.

Our multifamily AV portfolio includes projects for clients like Streetlights Residential, Hanover Company, NE Management, Birchstone Residential, and dozens of other developers across the DFW metroplex, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston.

Conference Rooms & Huddle Spaces

The hybrid work era has made conference room technology mission-critical. We design rooms around the platform your team actually uses — Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, or Webex — with professional-grade cameras, ceiling microphone arrays, and displays sized for the room. Every system ships with one-touch join so users never need to call IT.

For enterprise clients like Raytheon, Bell Helicopter, CINTAS, and Texas Tech University, we've deployed dozens of standardized conference rooms with centralized monitoring, remote firmware updates, and AV-over-IP distribution using Crestron NVX and DM NVX endpoints.

AV-over-IP & NVX Distribution

Traditional AV matrix switching is giving way to AV-over-IP — and for good reason. Crestron NVX allows us to route 4K60 video with zero-frame latency over standard 10G Ethernet infrastructure. This means unlimited scalability: add a source or display anywhere on the network without pulling new cables or replacing a matrix switch.

We've deployed NVX in corporate campuses, university lecture halls, houses of worship, and security operations centers where operators need to pull any camera feed to any monitor instantly. Combined with Crestron's DigitalMedia or DM NVX-E encoders, the result is a flexible, future-proof video distribution backbone.

Nightclub, Bar & Entertainment Venue Systems

Entertainment venues demand a different kind of AV — high-output loudspeakers, subwoofers, DJ integration, intelligent lighting control, and systems that can take a beating night after night. We design and install full club and bar sound systems with proper acoustic treatment, speaker placement modeling, and amplifier sizing to deliver clean, powerful audio without distortion at peak volumes.

Our work in the restaurant and bar vertical extends across DFW, with systems designed around the specific vibe each venue wants — from intimate cocktail lounges to high-energy dance floors. We integrate lighting control via DMX and Lutron, video walls for live sports and branding, and centralized audio DSP from QSC or Biamp.

Command Centers & Security Operations

At the other end of the complexity spectrum, we build mission-critical command centers and security operations centers (SOCs) for clients who need absolute reliability. These rooms feature multi-monitor video walls driven by NVX or Crestron DigitalMedia, real-time camera feed integration, KVM switching for multiple workstation control, and UPS-backed infrastructure designed for 24/7 operation.

Our defense and industrial clients — including Raytheon and Bell Helicopter — trust us with environments where a system failure isn't an inconvenience, it's a liability. We design with redundancy at every layer: dual-path video, failover control processors, and monitored network switches.

Control Platforms: Crestron, Control4 & RTI

Every AV system needs a brain. We work with three industry-leading control platforms, each suited to different project types:

• Crestron — The enterprise standard. Ideal for corporate campuses, higher education, government, and any environment requiring centralized fleet management via Crestron XiO Cloud. We deploy Crestron processors, touch panels, and NVX across our largest projects.
• Control4 — Perfect for multifamily amenity spaces, boutique hospitality, and high-end residential. Control4 delivers an elegant user experience with a shorter programming timeline and competitive price point. We're a certified Control4 dealer.
• RTI — A strong fit for custom commercial installations where flexibility and third-party integration are paramount. RTI's open-architecture drivers integrate with virtually any device, making it ideal for mixed-vendor environments and retrofit projects.

Choosing the right platform depends on project scale, budget, integration requirements, and long-term management needs. We help clients navigate that decision during the design phase — not after equipment has been purchased.

Our Client Portfolio

EIG PRO has delivered commercial AV solutions for a diverse range of clients across every major vertical:

• Defense & Aerospace: Raytheon, Bell Helicopter
• Corporate & Industrial: CINTAS, various Fortune 500 corporate offices
• Higher Education: Texas Tech University, El Centro College
• Multifamily: Streetlights Residential, Hanover Company, NE Management, Birchstone Residential, Davis Development
• Hospitality: Rosewood Hotel Group, TX Morrow Hotel projects
• Residential: Custom home theaters, whole-home audio, and smart home automation

This breadth of experience means we understand the unique requirements of each vertical — from the compliance demands of defense contractors to the aesthetic expectations of luxury hospitality brands.

Why It Matters

A poorly designed AV system creates friction. Meetings start late because nobody can connect. Residents complain about dead zones in the fitness center. The bar's sound system clips every Friday night. These aren't technology problems — they're design problems.

At EIG PRO, we start every project with a proper needs assessment, acoustic evaluation (where applicable), and infrastructure audit. We specify equipment that matches the use case — not the most expensive gear on the shelf. And we back every installation with commissioning, end-user training, and ongoing support.

Whether you need background music for a leasing office or a 40-display command center for a defense facility, EIG PRO has the experience, partnerships, and technical depth to deliver it right.
