Making Noise Come Out of Boxes Since 1987 MAKING NOISE COME OUT OF BOXES
our foundation is live sound reinforcement. We weren't just putting pen to paper.

There is more to the reproduction of music and the amplification of intelligible speech than the ability to influence a committee with a snazzy Powerpoint presentation and run wire from point A to point B. You might be surprised to learn that there are sound system contractors who, while adept at assembling persuasive presentations have no experience at "operating" a real sound reinforcement syst

em in front of a live audience or congregation. At Donovan Audio Designs, our experience is tangible... while many of today's sound system sellers were in school, deciding whether to become lawyers, plumbers, stockbrokers, golfers or cosmetologists, we were operating sound systems at events... featuring real performers, musicians, entertainers, politicians on stage... events featuring prominent public figures... events with thousands of people in attendance. We were making noise come out of boxes. We've been entrusted with work for all branches of Government... Federal... State... County... City... for the Air Force, the Army, the Marine Corps and the White House Press Corps. We've worked with the Billy Graham Crusades, with Ray Charles & His Orchestra, with the Rolling Stones... with Mack Truck Corporation, with Toys'R'Us... we've worked for public and private companies, large and small. And now we hope you'll take our experience into consideration when choosing a system provider for your next project, whether it's sound reinforcement, stage lighting, acoustic control, video support, IT services, full-service communications contracting, network infrastructure, teleconferencing, maintenance (or mitigating the headaches of your existing installation.)

Donovan Audio Designs has been "making noise come out of boxes" since 1987, and is powered by ACCI (Advanced Cable Connection Inc)... bridging the gap between construction and IT since 1987. St License

It's Black Friday and I'm the only person in our 17,000 sf office. How did Staples KNOW I'd be at work to text me a Black Friday sale offer on office supplies. I guess I'll run out and see if I can save 25¢ on paper clips!🤦🖇

Every year about this time I am compelled to share my first attempt at cartooning on an iPad from 10 years ago. (My dad would probably disown me!) HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The early-to-mid-1970s saw numerous advances in the evolution of the modern analog mixing console that continue to have an impact to this day – let's have a look back to that seminal time.

Donovan Audio Designs would not have ever happened were it not for the mentoring of Bill Bencsik, a pro audio pioneer.

After I’d spent too many years selling audio in music stores (before there WAS a pro audio industry), Bill advised and encouraged me to branch out on my own in 1987.

He was a gregarious and mischievous presence, and I owe my last 40 years or so in this industry to him. RIP, Bill.

Share Memories and Support the Family.

Richard Haerther, a LONGTIME friend of DAD as former artistic director at Carrollwood Cultural Center is on the waiting list for a new (USED) liver. He's moved to Baton Rouge near his family and his expenses are mounting. If you can help, please do! No amount is too small! (no amount is too large, either!) Thank you for your consideration.

This past February Richard became ill, resulting in 10 trips to the hospital in the … Richard Haerther needs your support for Richard Haerther Needs a Liver!
