In our recent post entitled Audiovisual Integrator AV Solutions Boost Productivity, we describe AV integration as “the equipment, software, and applications that make up an audiovisual system.” We go further, putting forth examples that many are familiar with: “The audio and visual components that enable a corporation to video conference is audiovisual integration. Another example is the cloud-based whiteboards that allow students and teachers to take class notes collaboratively.”
At Vizual Symphony, we have the experience to tackle complex AV system integrations like these confidently. Since 2001, we have amassed many satisfied clients across industries such as education, houses of worship, museums, municipalities, and corporations in Pasadena. Our noteworthy projects include collaborations with:

California State University Long Beach: Walter Pyramid Acoustic Installation
The Walter Pyramid is a multi-purpose entertainment and sports arena that seats up to 5,000 people. It’s the home of Long Beach State University men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams.
With an outdated audio system, the Walter Pyramid had a challenging acoustical crisis—an audio system update solved the sound issues.
The new system helped to make the arena feel like a new venue. Some say that the new system allows people to hear announcers clearly over the noise of fans.
The AI Overview in search results for Walter Pyramid AV integrator reads in part: “Vizual Symphony installed the audio system in the Walter Pyramid at Long Beach State University using L-Acoustics Ai Series loudspeakers.
How it works
- The system uses a four-sided array of KS21i, A15i Focus, and A15i Wide enclosures
- A fifth down-firing array of A10i Wide covers the court floor
- The system was designed by Idibri, a Salas O’Brien Company
- Soundvision was used to test coverage
- EASE was used to verify that the design would meet intelligibility goals” (See search results).
More About Our Installation For The Project
- Advanced Sound System: Horizontally hung array with A15i Focus and Wide speakers.
- State-of-the-Art Technology: LA12X amplified controllers.
- Complex Installation: Complete replacement of the truss system and rewiring.
“The acoustic transformation exceeded our expectations—spectators and athletes alike noticed the difference immediately.” – CSU Long Beach Athletics Director.
