I’ve seen too many commercial audio visual systems suffer from a lack of planning, oversight and expert guidance — resulting in AV systems that run far over budget, need constant repair, or that simply don’t match up with a user’s particular needs.
I founded Chroma Systems on the belief that premium, commercial AV systems should never be an afterthought or a side-of-the desk project. My team and I always work to ensure just the right plans and components are paired with the specific needs of each venue and its users.
We help you plan carefully for your success, and we see that plan through.

Founder, Chroma Systems
Our Design Process is Thorough and Collaborative
We listen to all stakeholders and go the extra mile to discover exactly what our clients need. We also get crystal clear on what they don’t need.
We’ll develop a technical scope of work that includes drawings and specifications, and we’ll research the optimal technologies for your situation.
Working in tandem with your design team, architects and engineers, we’ll ensure system compatibility, usability and durability.
And when it comes time for procurement, we’ll help you to identify and pre-qualify contractors and oversee the project bidding process. We’ll also review every contractor’s work to ensure a high-quality result: a system that meets all your criteria and fills the needs of your users for years to come.
