Installation Standards
The successful operation of
a new sound system is directly related to the quality
of design and installation.
Our AV professionals have the training and experience
to assure the best in the industry. A quality installation
lowers life cycle costs by reducing the need for
service calls or possibly premature product replacement
and helps to guarantee the system operates to its
full potential.

Preparation
Before we begin the on-site installation, a great deal
of work is done in our shop. Equipment racks are loaded
and terminated, speaker clusters are assembled and painted,
and digital processing equipment is programmed. Performing
this work in a controlled environment assures the systems
are assembled correctly and according to factory standards.
Assembly in the shop also helps to reduce the amount of
on-site work required. In doing so, the change-over-period
to the new system is much shorter, reducing travel and
overnight expenses.
Quality
Once assembled, electronics are tested and "burned-in."
With many of today's electronic components, failure is
most common in the first 24-48 hours of operation. The
burn-in period allows us to catch potentially defective
equipment prior to the on-site installation. This helps
to assure successful operation of the system and a quality
installation.
Thompson Electronics is dedicated to continuing education
and each technician receives additional training yearly.
Classes include product specific factory training, loudspeaker
rigging standards and advanced sound system installation
practices.
Growth Potential
The installation process
does not end when the on-site work is complete. Engineered
CAD drawings are assembled to show the system's configuration.
These computer-generated drawings make future repairs
easy to diagnose. Complete in-service training is provided
to make sure the customer understands how to use the system.
Owner manuals are provided that include product literature
and step-by-step instructions. The operator can consult
these manuals with simple questions.
