ATHENS ADMINISTRATORS CONFERENCE ROOM SPACES,
CONCORD, CALIF. System Design & Installation by Next Step
Audio and Video, Concord, Calif.

Executive Conference Room Gets Elite
Audio & Video Treatment

Brian Hill, owner of Next Step Audio and Video in Concord,
Calif., likes to follow the age-old mantra that " luck is when
preparation meets opportunity. " Because he often talks about
the work his company performs, Hill capitalized on an opportunity that came his way when a business owner recalled
conversations about video installations and wanted him to
bid on an executive conference room project ... which, in turn,
led to further opportunity. The conference room design and
installation was pretty straightforward, Hill says. Two 75-inch
displays from Samsung were selected to install, while a Denon
AVR-X3600H was specified for audio. Built-in HEOS for background music in the room fit the customer's needs, Hill says,
and Klipsch PRO-24-RW-LCR-WH wall and A2V A2V1C65PF
in-ceiling speakers rounded out the AV system. A Logitech
Harmony Pro 2400 provides control. Next Step installed the
components on a Middle Atlantic CWR-18-26PD, wall-mounted, 18U rack - employing the wall mount to keep floor space
clear for storage.

Results Yield Opportunity to Outfit Larger
Meeting Space

To help bring everything together, the aesthetic was developed by Concord, Calif.-based Be. Workplace Design. " The
result was stunning, " Hill says. " The book-matched marble
conference table and white countertops on the side give the
room a majestic feel. " Once the executive conference room
was complete, Next Step was asked to bid on a design/build
of Athens' large venue meeting space. The customer's initial
idea was for a projection screen, but Next Step recommended a 3x3 video wall using Samsung UM55H-E Matrix screens.
This design also called for two 75-inch Samsung screens on
either side to be used for presentations, and Athens loved the
recommendations, Hill recalls. For sound the integrator tapped
into Klipsch's in-house design team and delivered a system
with two, massive KI-365-SMA-II front speakers, eight IC650T-WH ceiling speakers and an additional SP-150W, 15-inch
subwoofer for the back of the room. A Denon AVR-8500H
was employed and as in the executive conference room,
HEOS can be used for background music.
