Business Overview

At DCH Technology Consulting, we believe great audiovisual systems don’t just function—they support how people think, communicate, and engage. Our work is grounded in human-centered design, guided by deep technical knowledge, and shaped by firsthand experience in civic, commercial, and collaborative environments.

We approach every project with a clear purpose: to create systems that serve users intuitively and serve owners sustainably. That starts with understanding how people interpret sound and visual information—how the ear processes clarity and direction, how the eye perceives movement, legibility, and contrast, and how room layout directly affects attention, fatigue, and trust.

Designing for People, Not Just Performance

Every system we design reflects our core belief that technology should work with people, not against them. We pay close attention to human factors that influence how users interact with spaces:

- Sightlines and fields of vision—We ensure displays are placed for natural eye movement and readability, accounting for vertical and horizontal viewing angles.
- Visual legibility—We design around pixel density, viewing distance, and font size to ensure on-screen content is accessible and comfortable to read.
- Acoustic clarity—We account for how sound is experienced in real spaces, from voice reinforcement to balanced audio distribution, helping reduce strain and cognitive fatigue.

When these principles are ignored, even technically capable systems can underperform. Our human-centered approach ensures that doesn’t happen—because we design from the user's perspective, not just the equipment spec sheet.

Collaborative Room Planning and Layout Strategy

We collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and owners early in the design process to ensure room layout supports audiovisual intent. When AV is treated as an afterthought, it often leads to costly rework: added displays, misaligned speaker coverage, or awkward camera sightlines.

By engaging early, we help design spaces that are efficient, functional, and future-ready. Intentional placement of displays, loudspeakers, and cameras doesn’t just improve usability—it reduces long-term support needs and creates more coherent, fatigue-free user experiences.

Hybrid Collaboration and Meeting Equity

Modern work demands equity across local and remote participants. Our designs support inclusive collaboration by integrating camera placement, lighting coordination, and audio pickup strategies that ensure everyone is seen, heard, and connected.

- Camera placement aligns with sightlines to support natural conversation and engagement.
- Lighting design is coordinated with the project’s lighting designer to ensure proper facial illumination without harsh shadows or glare. Our role is to ensure the audiovisual requirements are clearly communicated so that facial expressions, eye contact, and camera framing are optimized.
- Microphone strategies are tailored to the room to ensure consistent clarity across all participants.
- Audio tuning accounts for the unpredictable nature of remote systems by giving in-room users tools to manage clarity and comfort.

Whether the conversation spans a city council chamber or a cross-functional hybrid team, we help design environments where every participant feels present—and every voice is respected.

System Cohesion and Technology Integration

Our work is technology-driven, but manufacturer-agnostic. We don’t just specify parts—we help owners choose the right tools for their unique environment and long-term goals. That means knowing how to combine a wide range of technologies—AVoverIP, control systems, smart automation, voice and video platforms—into a single, cohesive user experience.

Our expertise bridges the gap between design vision, operational workflow, and scalable technical solutions. We translate complexity into simplicity—so users trust the system, and owners get consistent, repeatable results.

What Owners Gain from Working With Us

- Less friction, more engagement—Users connect easily and stay focused
- Reduced fatigue and support demands—Thoughtful design leads to better adoption
- Sustainable solutions—Systems that age well and adapt over time
- True integration—Technology that belongs to the room, not just added onto it

At DCH Technology Consulting, we don’t design for the sake of technology—we design for how people live, work, meet, and share information. That’s the kind of thinking that delivers long-term value.
