Acoustics Meets Art - Designer Sound Treatment


Caller: "Sorry, I can't hear you...what? There's way too much echo, are you talking to me from Grand Central Station?"

Customer Service Rep: "No I'm sitting here in my office ready to assist you"

Caller: "-Click-"

Customer Service Rep: "Hello? Hello?"


Oh, the woe, of the echo!




As sound is generated, it travels the path of least resistance - a straight line, which is why, when listening to someone speak, you will hear their voice as it is produced directly from their mouth, only afterwards will you hear the sound as it reflects off the hard surface behind you. These sound reflections, otherwise known as echos, help with our perception of the world we live in, it helps our minds calculate the size of the room we are in.

However, echo can also be a big distraction, whether at your favorite restaurant in conversation with your date, listening to music in your basement man-cave, giving a speech in a synagogue lecture hall, leading a presentation for a new client in the conference room, on the phone in the call-center, or in your full on home-theater.

With excessive echo and reverb, people will be shouting over each other just to be heard, creating more sound and more echo, it's a nasty chain effect. The music you are listening to, or the movie you are watching will not be as pleasant to the ears as expected, and as intended by their respective producers.

With proper sound treatment we can significantly diminish the ill-effects of an acoustically bad room, our techs at Elyon Systems Inc. can do a site survey to determine the needs of your particular location. We can install custom sizes, custom colors and fabric finishes, we can even print art of your choice to give the 'picture frame/painting look in the room. Put a nice size picture of the kids in family room, no one will have to know that it is really there to absorb sound for when they are watching TV. With our many sizes and designs we can custom tailor a solution that has the aesthetics of the room in mind, it can treat the rooms acoustics and look at the same time.

A Painter And An Elyon Systems Technician, Connection?!


Question: What does a painter and an Elyon Systems Inc. technician have in common?

Answer: Both use drop cloths!

Cleanliness on the job is a top priority at Elyon Systems Inc., our techs are trained to work in a neat fashion, use drop cloths wherever possible, vaccum up, and leave the place as clean as they found it.

At a recent job, our client gave us access to his house to do an installation while he was out, later that evening he called, following is an excerpt of the conversation:

Elyon Systems Inc.: Good evening, Elyon Systems, how may I help you?

Client: Hi, this is *****, I was wondering if you guys were here today.

ESI: Sure, our techs were there from about 2:00pm till about 7:00pm!

Client: Oh.

ESI: Is something wrong? Is the system not working? They were supposed to pull the new wire to the 2nd floor, was it not done? Or not done to your liking?

Client: Oh I see it now, yes they did pull it.

ESI: What seems to be the issue?

Client: I just came home and saw that everything is exactly how I left it this morning, didn't seem like anyone was here today. But now I see the wire, wow the techs did a great job concealing it, I wouldn't have noticed it unless I looked.

ESI: Our techs do top quality professional work.

Client: And they cleaned up so well, it seems like they were never here. I appreciate such professionalism, I will deffinitely reccomend you to others.

Restaurants and Lighting Nightmares No more


Managing a high-end restaurant gets very demanding. The patrons come for the experience, and are willing to pay the premium for the added amenities, ambiance, atmosphere, amazing cuisine, and quick service, maintaining your reputation is top priority.

In order to create the desired ambiance, lighting is paramount, different times of the day require varied lighting levels:

Breakfast: Lots of light, customers want to read the morning paper with their coffee, they are trying to wipe the sleep out of their eyes.

Lunch: Moderate lighting levels help create a fast turnover of customers, much needed in the afternoon rush.

Dinner: Dimmed and low intensity light to create that intimate feel, yet some areas accented and brightened to highlight the architecture, interior design, and restaurant theme.

If using conventional dimmers it can be very difficult to keep the same light level settings on schedule, every day, and getting it right every time. Weekdays and weekends have different settings as well. Your staff have so much on their hands, let's help them by eliminating this one very important aspect of their schedule.

With Lighting Control this task happens automatically, the lights will dim or brighten automatically based on the preset lighting levels for that particular time of day. No more inconsistent lighting, no more off schedule settings. 

Control this from an iPod, iPad or iPhone too. One of your customers is celebrating a birthday and you need to have the lights flash and the disco ball turn on, but you as the manager are in the back receiving a delivery. No worries, you can hit the "Birthday Scene" button on your iDevice and voila, the party is on!

You may ask, "I really need this, but my restaurant is finally functioning in full swing, we've recently renovated, and cant afford anymore down time, we can't start breaking walls again to rewire...". Well, you don't need to, our lighting control systems are fully retrofitable, and can be installed entirely without having to hire sheet-rockers and painters, in most cases you can remain fully open during this transition into the next century.
