Mantis Audiovisual Four practices, one standard, each project under a single name, from the first site visit to the support that keeps it running years later.
Clear thinking, before a cable is pulled.
Most AV problems start as planning problems. Every design starts with the room, your team, and how you work, then builds around them.
You leave the first conversation with a clear design, the right gear chosen on merit, and a price you can trust.
Every layer, built in-house.
The sound, the controls, the screens, the network, designed as one system by one engineer. No hand-offs, no finger-pointing.
Every system runs fully on the bench before it ships to site, so the room turns on with one tap and works the same on day one and year five.
Handed over with everything you need.
If you can't maintain a system, you don't own it. So every room is labeled, documented, and handed over properly.
Drawings, records, a finished test, and guides anyone on your team can follow. Years later, the next person can run it with confidence.
Fixed before you noticed.
Equipment ages and settings drift. Every room is watched remotely, so a problem is caught before your team walks into a meeting.
Every room reports home: rack health, signal presence, and firmware drift, watched from one place. A failing amplifier or a stalled update shows up long before your next meeting does, and gets patched on a maintenance window, not in front of a room. When you do call, you reach the same engineer who built the room, the same business day.
The same five stages on every project, whether it is one room or a forty-floor rollout.
Every project starts on foot: walk the space, measure the room, map every source and constraint before specifying a thing.
The sound, the controls, and the network designed as one system, down to the parts list and the test it will be signed off against.
Proven on the bench first, then installed, calibrated, and signed off on-site.
Drawings, records, and plain-language guides, so your team can run the room on its own.
Every room stays watched, and the engineer who built it answers fast, long after the install is done.
What teams ask before the first survey.
Off-the-shelf gear is fine. The failures live between the boxes: integration nobody owns, and settings nobody checks once the installer leaves. Closing that gap is the work.
Yes. Mantis owns the AV signal chain end to end and coordinates at the network and structural boundaries, with the demarcation written into the drawings so nothing falls between trades.
Yes. The same engineer sets the standard, and a documented, repeatable process holds it across every room, the same measurement on the first and the four-hundredth. Each room is commissioned to its own signed record and watched from one place, so a large program stays as accountable as a single one.
On a scheduled maintenance window, under monitoring, tested before they touch a live room. You are told what changed, never surprised by it.
Every room ships with full as-builts, a signed commissioning record, and remote monitoring, so your own team or any competent integrator can run and extend it from the documentation alone. You are never locked in.
Across continents, for enterprise, government, healthcare, academic, and broadcast organizations. The work, by industry shows what that looks like, with every name kept under NDA.
Thirty minutes with the engineer who would design it, not a salesperson. You leave with the drawing-stage problems named, the ones that are cheap to fix on paper and expensive once the room is built, whether or not we end up working together.
A handful of rooms are in design at any one time, each owned by the person who drew it.
