TEC is currently offering the room, formerly housing the American Bandstand television studio, as a special event meeting space. (Copyright The Enterprise Center) http://www.theenterprisecenter.com/
Our goal was to bring TEC's rental room, audio visually speaking, up to today's meeting space and convention standards. We replaced some of their antiquated equipment with the following:
NEC NP3250 5000 Lumen LCD Projector w/ Short Throw Lens - Qty 1
Da-Lite 105" x 140" Electric Projection Screen w/ Remote - Qty
1
Kramer VP4X4K Matrix VGA Switcher - Qty 1
Kramer VP-413 Composite to VGA - Qty 2
QSC ISA5000Ti 100 Volt Power Amplifier - Qty 1
Yamaha MG166c 16 Channel Mixer - Qty 1
JBL Control 26AV Loudspeakers - Qty 8
Shure ULXP 124/85 Wireless Mirophone Systems - Qty 2
Middle Atlantic SRK 28 Space Equipment Rack - Qty 1
The first challenge was providing 2 remotes and 2 wall switches to operate the electric screen. Da-Lite was very helpful in letting us know what we needed to give TEC the ultimate in screen flexibility. In the end, TEC received a screen switch on the left and right side of the screen, one remote, kept in the system room and one remote locked away in case of emergency.
When it came to the audio system, TEC wanted the speakers to operate in zones and with separate volumes. 
This would give them the option of using the inside four speakers alone, the outside four speakers alone or all eight speakers together; depending on the size of any audience in the event room. An advantage on TEC's side was the exisiting pipe truss system in the ceiling left by the American Bandstand television studio. The small challange faced by A.V. Rental Services, Inc. was selecting the appropriate ceiling speakers, capable of filling the room; given the approximately 20 feet ceiling height. We chose JBL Control based on their dispersion but we were left with producing a custom mount to fit the speakers onto the, non-standard, existing ceiling pipe truss system.
In reference to connectivity; we installed 3 custom wall plates in the event room; allowing laptops, cameras, DVD players, wired microphones, IPods and such, to connect to the system within the meeting space.
Note: We also installed a separate but linkable, smaller audio video system in a satellite room within the building.
