Systems Design and Procurement We design sound, video, lighting, and rigging systems that will serve the users needs and match the acoustics and geometric features of the individual spaces in the facility.  We  provide component level systems drawings, documentation, and specifications for bidding and procurement purposes.  Design-Build  We also offer a Design-Build option that incorporates design, equipment, and installation into one single-source package.  Our Design-Build division provides complete installation of acoustical treatments, as well as sound, video, theatrical lighting, and control systems.  Contact us for more information. Construction Management and Testing We help manage the construction and systems installation, performing on-site inspections and testing to make sure everything is built and installed as intended. Track Record We've been doing what we do since 1984.   We have enjoyed ongoing business from repeat clients like Notre Dame University, Ellerbe Becket Architects, and HGA Architects since our inception.  We have worked on large and small projects alike.  For a list of our award-winning projects, request our Company Profile at the “Contact”  link above.       Kehl Associates™ Silences Gander Guns Ryan Chooses Kehl for Gander Mountain Acoustics Ryan Companies, design-build construction company for Gander Mountain's pilot Gun Academy in Lake Mary, Florida,  brought Kehl Associates on board for acoustical design for this project.  The acoustical challenge was to design a cost effective means of providing sound isolation for the Live Firing Range, such that gun noise would not be heard in the adjoining retail shopping space in which it is housed.  The new Gun Academies at Gander Mountain offer  firearms training to the public featuring live firing ranges, virtual firing ranges, and computerized scenario simulators identical to those used by the police and military.    Gander Mountain executives wanted an open, inviting entrance to the Gun Academy from the retail store, such that shoppers would be drawn to the Gun Academy but not hear it.  This goal intensified the acoustical and architectural design. challenge.   ACOUSTICAL DESIGN is one of the specialty design services offered by Kehl Associates.  We provide acoustical design services for all types of facilities.
