Portland Community College-Sylvania Campus Media Services Department Good morning Tony,   The screens are great. They arrived just like you said.  They are beautiful, and looked very nice at the 2 graduations we just did.  I wanted to thank you for all you do.   You and your company model what customer service is all about.  You made our PCC graduation a success, with the 2 rental screens, (and the wonderful help we received from Steve) and the new screen purchase that you were able to put together for our department.  You are looking at getting us the best stuff at a good price.  These screens will definitely be an asset to what we do here at the College, and will also save us some money. Again I want to thank you and your staff for all the hard work you have demonstrated in the last few years.  Looking forward to doing business with you again.   You are awesome.   Thanks Shally Hartman   Portland Community College-Sylvania Campus   Media Services Department

Peterkin & Associates, Attorneys at Law September 1, 2009 Tony Sprando Audio Visual Presentations, Inc. Dear Tony: Thank you for assisting our firm with a Video Conference during the Arbitration held last week.  Your company went above and beyond to make this Video Conference work.  Your technical assistance and knowledge of the Polycom Video Conferencing equipment with both sides of the call was invaluable.  The witness on the other end of the call was able to communicate with us clearly during critical testimony and questioning.   I will highly recommend Audio Visual Presentations to the law firms and court reporters in town to help deliver quality face-to-face meetings, where clear audio and vivid facial expressions are important.   Sincerely, Christina Hietala

CFO Mandala Mandala is a full service advertising agency dealing with clients on a national and international basis.  While we may be small, we touch every platform and push technology to its limits.  We utilize Macs and PCs both in the server room and at our desks.  We contacted Tony in 2006 when we began designing a conference room for our new office space.  He came to our offices and worked with Scott, our IT consultant, and myself on several occasions to help sort through what was possible and what we could afford.  Tony put together different options and continued to tweak them until we had the best solution for us at the time.  When signing off on the dollars we were confident that our final configuration would be capable of expansion in the future, saving us money down the road. The conference room started out with a large monitor, a mini-Mac, plug-in capabilities at the center of our conference room table, and a touch screen control panel on each side of the room.  We debated whether to go with the touch screen control system and are happy we did since it presents a clean look and adds a professional touch to our client presentations.  We have a second conference wired and ready to accommodate changes when/should the need arise. Tony continued to meet with us as we moved from the architect's plan to construction to eliminate errors or oversights.  During the construction phase both Matthew and Ed, two of Tony's dedicated technicians, became familiar with many facets of our build out as we determined which vendors would be responsible for installing the backbone of our phone and IT systems.  They worked with us throughout the process and continue to work with us today as we determine additional requirements to enhance our capabilities.  They were capable, flexible, resourceful, and great people to work with.  They have gone above and beyond whenever we have contacted them with a problem - stopping by to do some testing or perform maintenance.   Tony's team has been working with us this year to make some of those enhancements we decided to postpone when doing the initial installation.  We recently added an arm to the monitor allowing us to rotate the screen for presentation purposes.  We are currently installing a permanent web cam to be used with our presentations and client meetings over the lines.  Obviously, working with a local company has allowed us to build out the room in this manner.

IT Manager Hooker Creek Companies, LLC I'd like to take a moment to share my experiences in working with Audio Visual Presentations. This last year Audio Visual Presentations was recommended to me for outfitting the conference rooms of our newly designed corporate offices.  I called Tony Sprando, explained our needs, and related that we were under a tight timeline.  They responded immediately and scheduled a walk-through of our facility.  They were friendly, accommodating, and professional.  They made several suggestions, and listened attentively to our needs.  When we had questions about compatibility with the lighting in one conference room, they brought out equipment and we tested it on site.  As a result, we ended up with a a system that fit our specific needs, not just a conference room in a box. Even though our timeline was aggressive, installation of our system was done professionally, correctly, and on time.  Matthew and Ed worked tirelessly to make sure it was done, and always had a smile no matter how late in the evening.   Audio Visual Presentations' attention to detail really shows up, though, in the end product.  The system was neat, clean, and performed just as advertised.  All three conference rooms were tailored to their differences, but had the same look and feel, making it easier for our presenters.  I have no hesitation in recommending Audio Visual Presentations.

Judy Thompson

Business Administrator Faith Christian Center It is our pleasure to highly recommend Audio Visual and Tony Sprando. In September, after accessing our needs, he put together a preliminary study that showed the best performance sound system needed to upgrade our church's sound. And at a price that was well within our budget. He researched and believed in the system he recommended. Upon completion of certain phases of work, we immediately noticed the overall clarity, and even tone through out the church sanctuary. The speakers were hung professionally and aesthetically compliment our sanctuary décor. There were many compliments on the friendliness of the ISP Technologies group from Chicago. They made a difficult job seem effortless because of their professionalism. Please know that we have no reservations about recommending Audio Visual and Tony's outstanding and effective abilities. If you have any questions please feel free to contact our office or better yet come by the church and experience the wonderful sound system. (382-8274)

Donna Tollefson

Administrative Assistant Jefferson County Board of Commissioners We ordered a Marantz digital recording system from Audio Visual Presentations, Inc. and have found it to be a major step up from our previous tape recording system.  The technicians were excellent to work with and explained everything step by step so there was no confusion.  I would recommend their company to anyone in need of a recording system.

If you are considering working with Audio Visual Presentations, Inc. I would like to pass on a sincere recommendation.  Since 2004, Tony Sprando has been involved in helping Smart Solutions in our audio/video equipment needs.  From the get-go Tony and his team worked with us to understand our needs and provided us with practical solutions to our problems. We are so pleased with our conference room AV center.  It is easy to use and has considerably helped facilitate our company and sales meetings.  I can confidently recommend you consider what Audio Visual Presentations, Inc. is offering you.  They have been a great help to our business.

Rainier Camina

GenArise Youth Ministry New Horizons Church Thank you for inquiring.  Yes, I got our projector back.  It was the lamp, and they replaced it with no charge (praise the Lord).  Thank you so much for assisting us and guiding us through the proper paperwork.

Drake Creek Ranch

Kyle E. Meisner Post, OR I would like to take a moment to sincerely thank you for a job well done concerning the architecture and installation of my Drake Creek Ranch entertainment system.  The Sony plasma as well as all the components are operating perfectly.  The speaker system you came up with is perfect and most importantly the use of one remote to control all of the components is just the thing for a "low tech" individual like myself. Again, a great big thanks for jumping on this and getting it done in such a timely fashion.  When you live seventy five miles from Bend it's very seldom you can get any help from Bend vendors let alone in a timely fashion.

Michael D. White CDT Production Manager Dear Tony, We had an awesome meeting tonight in the training room. We were using the little camera as well as PowerPoint.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you and am glad that you are also a friend and a brother!
