Audio Video Term

System Design

System Design is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

System Design is the planned layout of equipment, wiring, controls, user interfaces, sources, speakers, displays, and integration logic.

Example of System Design

Before installation, Davis can walk the site, document goals, specify wiring, design the rack, and map controls so the final system is easy to live with. In that kind of Davis AV consulting project, the term System Design would describe the planned layout of equipment, wiring, controls, user interfaces, sources, speakers, displays, and integration logic. Davis would use that understanding to account for site survey notes, scope, drawings, budget planning, equipment schedule, and implementation sequence, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
