Run Towards the Drama.

The Best Voice in CI.

One firm, one signal in the noise of custom integration — the brands worth knowing, decoded; the tools that close the room, built; and the Rapp Report, telling you what actually matters this week.

The Players

The names that matter in CI

The brands I cover, decode, and champion — each one broken down the way I'd walk a dealer through it. Tap in.

Picture Perfect Sound

Handcrafted speakers that vanish into the frame, the art, and the wall. Frame any TV, hide any speaker, spec the room, map the margin.

Architectural Audio · Italy

Milled aluminum and stainless line arrays twenty-two millimeters deep, and the physics that makes them work. Check the depth, see the beam, delete the 70-volt system.

Walk the reptile house

Processing & Power

Hyperion, Axis, and the amps and processors that drive a serious system. The electronics worthy of the speakers in front of them.

AV-over-IP · AVPro

Distribution that scales from a rec room to a stadium and just locks in. With a decoder tool to spec the switch, the bandwidth, and the endpoints.

Decode the network

Connectivity · AVPro

HDMI that actually goes the distance — fiber, active, and passive, sorted by what the run actually needs instead of what's in the van.

Test & Calibration · AVPro

Generators and analyzers that prove the signal. If you can't measure it, you can't troubleshoot it — and you can't defend the invoice.

Prove the signal

…and more every week. The full roster of coverage — lighting, control, and the rest — lives on the Rapp Report.

Any display → the exact Leon Edge system, real pricing, the margin move.

Build the system, pair the amp, see the margin, get the BOM.

Spec the AV-over-IP network — switch, bandwidth, endpoints — without guessing.

Depth in, product out — the selector that starts with the cavity you actually have.

Watch a point source cook the ceiling, then watch a PAT column refuse to.

What's end-of-life, what replaces it, and what to stop quoting today.

Plus the 64Ω Trick, Kommander Match, the Money Map, Dante Decision, NPI Timeline, and the Asset Library — all in the tool room.

Rappfirm · The Best Voice in CI

I started faxing the Rapp Report to my Klipsch dealers a long time ago — because dealers need to know they're supported, and benefit from the explanations even when they've got no time for them. Same philosophy, different decade. AVIXA CTS, Dante-certified, and I know this gear from the field — not the spec sheet.

About Evan Contact

The custom integration channel doesn't need another catalog. It needs a voice that's actually held the gear, knows where the bodies are buried, and will tell you the truth about what to spec. That's the whole job. That's Rappfirm.
