Heard. Seen. Felt.

Physics-driven audio, video, lighting, and acoustic systems for houses of worship and premier live venues — engineered to work the first time.

The 20-20 Engineering Methodology

Fix the room first.

You already know what it costs to get it wrong. The shiny new PA that still leaves the front row buried and the back row guessing. The DSP “tune” that never quite fixes the room. The system you end up fighting every week instead of trusting.

01

Fix The Room First

The room before the gear. You can't DSP, EQ, or tune your way out of poor room physics — acoustics, sight lines, lighting, and geometry shape the experience before a single piece of gear is specified. We model reverberation, reflections, sight lines, and coverage before we choose anything.

Too many spaces spend top-dollar on flagship speakers, screens, and fixtures only to discover the room still fights them — harsh reflections, dead zones, blocked sight lines, harsh lighting. We address wall geometries, absorption, bass trapping, sight lines, and lighting first so every watt, every pixel, and every cue performs cleanly.

02

Even Coverage Everywhere

No seat left in the mud. From the front row to the far back of the house, every listener — and every eye — deserves the same clarity, dynamics, and presence, across every signal path we engineer: audio, video, lighting, network, and control.

We model 3D acoustic and coverage heat maps of the room before a single fixture is specified. Phase-aligned arrays, evenly tuned video, consistent lighting, and a clean network and control backbone deliver uniform ±3 dB SPL and clean sight lines across the entire seating plane — no dead seats, no hot spots, no second-class experience.

03

Built for the People Who Run It

Engineered for the team that actually runs the room — not the engineer who installed it. Commercial-grade reliability with intuitive control so your operators, staff, or volunteers drive every cue with confidence.

Custom Q-SYS touchpanel layouts mapped to your real workflow, one-button scene recalls, coordinated wireless, auto-failover routing, and hot-swap redundancy. When the room fills up or the clock runs out, the system responds — not the operator. Reliable week after week, show after show.

The Gear-First Trap vs. Physics-First Engineering

Most sales-driven integrators ask for your budget, quote their favorite speaker brand, and hope digital room-tuning masks room resonance. At 20-20, our engineering team calculates boundary phase cancellation, directivity index, and early reflection geometry first — then specifies the audio, video, lighting, and control that earns its place. Solve it once and for all.

About 20-20

Design the space. Then design the system.

20-20 starts with the physics of the space — acoustics, sightlines, light — then engineers the audio, video, lighting, networking, and control systems that bring it to life. From a worship center to a game-day stadium, a civic chamber to a one-of-a-kind private theater, every space gets the same uncompromising care. Different rooms, one standard: extraordinary.

Our philosophy

Fix the room first

Acoustics, sightlines, light, and geometry get diagnosed before any equipment is specified. The space shapes the system — not the other way around.

Design before equipment

New build or retrofit — we engineer the system to the room. On new construction we're alongside your architect and builder from day one; on a retrofit we design within what's already there and engineer around its limits.

Rooted in the Southeast

Based in Wilmington, NC — projects nationwide, with a handle on the Southeast. Service is right here when you need it.

Let's talk about your room.
