Auditoriums

An auditorium is defined as a hall or lecture room where an audience is located so they can hear and watch performances at venues such as theatres, K-12, colleges/universities, and sports arenas. Most people do not realize the necessary audiovisual components needed to make an auditorium work effectively.

Most auditoriums hold a few hundred to a few thousand people.  Therefore, the appropriate A/V system design is critical. Typically these spaces need a combination of an integrated audio conferencing system, motorized screens, digital signage, LCD displays, as well as a centralized control system.

Educator Reactions

Brookfield Academy is extremely satisfied with InfoCor who has outfitted our new 110,000 square foot Upper School with AV systems for every classroom including the addition of numerous SMART Boards. They worked with us from planning to completion of all installs. They are easy to work with providing competent and committed service in the installation of an excellent product. Because of our previous experience with them, they will be installing over 20 additional SMART Boards throughout the campus and providing the professional development necessary for the full implementation of this powerful educational tool.  Finally, the CEO of InfoCor is a Brookfield Academy graduate, so we know the quality, character, and integrity of this company’s leadership is to be trusted.

InfoCor has helped Janesville determine the best solutions for our students' needs. The InfoCor staff understands the need for quality staff development and tech support - beyond the point of sale. In this rapidly changing technology environment, if a product did not meet our expectations, InfoCor staff worked with us to make sure we were satisfied. Customer service and follow through are their best traits. I would recommend them highly.

“We started working with InfoCor three years ago and it is one of the better decisions I have made.  Prior to InfoCor, we were working with a SMART Board reseller who was not proactive and did not provide the level of service we desired.  After a chance encounter with Cheryl Anderson, I made a point of learning more about InfoCor and ultimately signed on with them.  More
