Happy 57th Anniversary Avant Acoustics!
Then…
It was 1964 – The year of the beginning of the Ford Mustang, Beatlemania, James Bond, a ground-breaking Civil Rights Act, All the Way with LBJ, Cassius Clay became a champion, Martin Luther King Jr won the Nobel Peace Prize, and our story begins…
Our story begins when a young electrical engineer, Robert Coffeen, was tasked with creating an audio paging system design for the new passenger terminal at Dulles International Airport, in Washington, D.C. Such a system had never been designed or implemented before. Bob did it… and he did it well.
With his first project under his belt, Bob decided to start a company to continue the work begun at that airport. It was an apt beginning for a company that would grow to become a leader in paging system design (among other things!).
Bob’s goal for his company? To make every space the company touched sound great. That’s the mission we started with, and that’s the mission we continue to follow to this day.
Now…
Over the years a few things have changed… from the company name to the ownership, to the length of ties worn to meetings and the tools we use to get the job done…
But many things have also stayed the same:
- Our focus on quality, integrity, and innovative acoustical and audio visual systems design
- Clients (many of our first clients are still customers today!)
- Our love for all things audio visual!
No matter the project, the venue, the location or the scope, our flexible structure enables us to consistently exceed expectations.
AVANT ACOUSTICS’ competitive advantage is our team. Our new owner, Dondi Dix and our amazing design staff are dedicated to providing detailed acoustical consulting and AV system design with the highest standard for customer service.
