MSL has recently added to it’s audio visual rental inventory.  Our experts spend time researching equipment and gear extensively before a decision is made to purchase.  The Christie D12HD-H projector’s were one of those choices. These units are a single chip DLP projector with an amazing 12,000 lumen output. They will accept all types of video inputs including SDI, HDMI, DVI, VGA, 5-Wire BNC, S-Video, Composite Video, Component Video, USB and HDBaseT.  We’ve included all lens sizes and fly racks for all projectors.  To accompany these powerhouse projectors, we’ve extended our inventory of Stumpfl 16:9 screens for rent.  All sizes and surfaces are available in our rental inventory.

If you’re looking for high quality video solutions for your next event, then Mercury has the right product selection for you.  We’ve also added a number of Blackmagic conversion units. SDI is the new norm for HD video signal on a large scale such as production and rental; however, many flat screens, projectors and video display’s do not accept SDI inputs.  Our Blackmagic SDI to HDMI and HDMI to SDI convertors will solve these compatibility issues allowing for up to 300’ of digital HD signal. Call our professionals at Mercury Sound & Lighting today to discuss your audio visual rental needs. We have all of the right product selections in our inventory to meet your a/v rental expectations – whether it’s for your next party, wedding, or if you’re upgrading the existing system in your church.

The City of Berkley asked Mercury Sound & Lighting to design an audio system that would be budget conscious but still give great audio coverage and quality.  We have worked with several cities and municipalities and understand how to incorporate quality into a tight budget.  Mercury installed JBL Control 28 speakers throughout the arena.  These speakers  are a high output indoor/outdoor loudspeaker.  They were powered with crown CDi amplifiers and controlled by a DBX Zone Controller to allow different inputs to be used throughout the arena.  The new system will be used for various events held at the arena including hockey games, figure skating and even public open skate.  Mercury Sound & Lighting can provide audio installation for all types of venues including ice arena’s, stadiums and all other venue types.  MSL is a direct manufacturer dealer for countless audio, lighting and video brands.  Our team will work relentlessly to design an audio visual system that fits your needs.  Contact us today for more information!

Club Audio Visual Installation- iHookah

by

Mercury Sound & Lighting has installed audio visual elements for hundreds of bars and clubs in Michigan.  We were asked to create a system for iHookah that would provide a laid back atmosphere for people to relax and be entertained.  The system was to combine an audio system and video screens throughout the lounge.  The owner of iHookah wanted to create a situation where his customers could sit anywhere in the lounge and be able to see a tv screen and hear audio no matter what seating option they chose. Mercury was up for the challenge for the club audio visual installation.

Installing a sound system at a hookah lounge is an important consideration for creating an enjoyable atmosphere for guests. There are several factors to consider when installing a sound system in a hookah lounge.

First, it is important to choose a sound system that is suitable for the size and layout of the lounge. The sound system should be able to provide sufficient volume and coverage for the entire space, without causing excess noise or disturbance to neighbors. A professional audio engineer or contractor can help you determine the appropriate size and placement of speakers and other equipment.

Second, it is important to consider the type of music and entertainment that will be played at the hookah lounge. Different music genres may require different sound system setups, such as a more powerful system for live bands or a more subtle system for background music. It is also important to consider the quality of the sound system, as poor sound quality can ruin the listening experience for guests.

Third, it is important to consider the aesthetics of the sound system. The speakers and other equipment should be visually appealing and blend in with the decor of the hookah lounge. In addition, the cables and wiring should be hidden or neatly organized to maintain a clean and visually appealing space.

Fourth, it is important to consider the maintenance and upkeep of the sound system. The sound system should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that it is in good working order. It is also important to have a plan in place for addressing any issues or repairs that may arise.

Overall, installing a sound system at a hookah lounge requires careful planning and consideration. By taking the time to choose the right equipment and ensure that it is installed and maintained properly, you can create an enjoyable and immersive atmosphere for your guests.

Audio Visual Installation

Mercury installed a total of 8 JBL Control 28 Speakers throughout the space.  It was powered by Crown CDi amplifiers and a DBX zone controller was used for processing.   The system was split off into four separate zones so that different volumes and inputs could be controlled in different areas of the lounge.

iHookah has a full surround wall of windows.  This posed for a challenging situation with flat screen TVs.  They could not be mounted on the wall (since made of glass) so Mercury came up with an alternate option.  A total of 13 43″ TVs were installed around the space.  Mercury used double mounted ceiling mounts to hang the display’s from the ceiling in a configuration that would put them back to back allowing for viewing on both sides of the TV.  Another 3 71″ televisions were mounted over the bar area for a massive television wall.

It doesn’t matter how large or small your project is.  The professionals at Mercury Sound & Lighting can choose an audio visual system that will meet your needs. Give us a call today and let us start on your project!

Wedding Lighting Michigan

Palazzo Grande- Backdrop Uplight and SpotWedding Lighting has become increasingly popular over the past few years.  While Mercury Sound and Lighting is a full production company, no event is too large or too small.  We have a wide range of rental products including both high end and budget fixtures for wedding lighting.  We are located in Novi, Michigan but we service all of Michigan, Indiana and Ohio with wedding lighting rentals.  Our services include uplighting, pin spots, custom monograms, intelligent lighting, and pattern lighting.

Uplighting is the most popular lighting effect used for weddings today.  It is a simple and cost effective way to transform any space.  We use several different fixtures to accomplish our uplighting. These range from conventional fixture’s to LED washes.  We offer uplighting packages that start at $250 for the budget conscious couple all the way to high end uplighting packages.  With LED lighting, we can accomplish millions of color options including the option to have the room change colors throughout the wedding. Our trained technician can stay throughout your big night to make sure you don’t have any worries.  They can definitely create the mood you are looking for.

If you’ve ever eaten at a nice Italian Restaurant or a restaurant like J. Alexander’s or PF Changs then you’ve noticed how lighting can be dim and set a mood without loosing lighting where you need it.  This method is called pin spotting.  We can create this same mood at your wedding.  Our trained professionals can mount pin spots to spot all of the things that are important to you such as center pieces, the wedding cake, head table, card table and so many other areas.  This allows us to dim the natural lighting in the room, but not loose light where we need it thus creating a more “romantic” feel and much more of a glow from your wall washes.

Pin Spotting and Wall Washes are definitely our most common lighting options; however, we offer so much more.  Please check through our web page to see our other options including truss, movers, pattern lighting and custom monograms.  Mercury Sound & Lighting is your premiere wedding lighting company here in Michigan.  Contact one of our sales reps today to discuss how Mercury Weddings can make your dream wedding come true!

Michigan Sound System Installation

AMX Touch Panels - Touch Screens installation serviceProfessional audio system’s are used today in a variety of applications. Some of these applications include Houses of Worship, Schools, Restaurants, Bars, Clubs, and Corporate Environments. Whichever your application, it is important to choose the right audio solution and products to fit your environment. A professional sound company assists in customizing an audio system to meet these needs. Mercury Sound & Lighting provides its clients with a professional design unique to their situation as we have worked within Michigan sound system installation service. It is not as simple as throwing a couple of speakers on the wall and calling it a day. It is important for an audio company to take the time to measure the space and design a system that will create even coverage and an SPL that is sufficient for the type of application the system is being designed for.

Often times, we find that our clients have had previous experiences where the end result and needs of the system were not researched well enough by the “installer” (specifically Houses of Worship). We have a saying here that most House’s of Worship will experience 4 audio systems for their auditorium, gospel choir, and band. The first system always goes to the lowest bidder. Of course, this is understandable. While we breath and live audio, it is not always the most important factor when a new House of Worship is going up and we understand that.
