About
Edward Simon & Co. was established in 1975. We specialize in commercial sound, video, and communication systems. Our particular emphasis is in engineering and design build projects of large to very large size. We have worked with many clients and manufacturers to introduce new technology to our projects. Some of our firsts include:
- The first large scale computer-controlled stadium sound system
- The first digital signal processing-steered loudspeaker array
- One of the first and largest audio over Ethernet systems
- The first non-application specific multiple control system in a large venue
- The first internal digital signal processed loudspeaker
- The first lightweight, full-size line array
Edward Simon & Co. has a different philosophy than other AV providers. We do not have any salesmen or account executives. The person you work with from the beginning of your project is responsible not just for meeting with you to determine your needs, but also for engineering and implementing your project to the end. Their understanding of the technology and their direct contact with you prevents miscommunication and reduces expenses and delays in providing you with the systems you need.
R & D
Through research and development we stay on top of whats happening in the audio industry and can offer you the best products and solutions.
- We work closely with many manufacturers in designing new products.
- Edward sits on various committees of the AES (Audio Engineering Society) and helps to develop standards for everything form speaker testing to digital signal format.
- Edward is a published electronics researcher
- Edward is in the process of publishing his research on noise distortion in power supplies which includes building on previously published research on measuring distortion in resistors at extremely low levels.
We try to keep our research and developments updated on our Articles & Videos page.
At Edward Simon & Co. we hold ourselves to a high standard. We continue to provide the best audio/video systems at the lowest possible cost. Our references speak volumes for our engineered systems and services. We continue to evolve as a premier custom fabrication shop. From our first computer (a then new 1978 PDP8) to the latest technology, we do not merely keep up with the cutting edge - we help make it.
We invite you to explore our website and contact us with any questions you may have. Let's work together to create the cutting edge of installed audio performance.
