Building or Upgrading an AV System? Talk to Allstar First.
From consultation and system design through installation, commissioning and long-term support, Allstar delivers professional audiovisual systems built around your facility, your users and your objectives.
Designed Around Your Space
Professional AV systems built for reliable, long-term performance.
40+ Years of AV Experience
Integrated Technology. Practical Solutions. Dependable Support.
A successful audiovisual system must do more than look impressive on a specification sheet. It must perform reliably, be straightforward for people to operate and support the day-to-day needs of the facility.
Allstar designs and installs professional audio, video, lighting, control and communication systems for commercial, educational, cultural and public environments throughout Alberta and Western Canada.
Our team considers the complete system—from room acoustics, infrastructure and equipment selection to programming, user training and ongoing technical support. Whether you are developing a new facility, renovating an existing space or replacing outdated equipment, Allstar can help develop a practical solution designed for long-term use.

Complete Commercial AV Solutions
Involve Allstar Early
Audiovisual systems are closely connected to room design, electrical service, network infrastructure, acoustics, lighting, millwork, structural requirements and cable pathways.
Involving Allstar during the early planning stages allows AV requirements to be coordinated with architects, consultants, contractors, electrical teams and facility stakeholders before construction decisions become expensive to change.
Our team can assist with equipment planning, infrastructure requirements, technical documentation, installation coordination and system commissioning throughout the project.
Better coordination early helps create a better-performing system later.
Upgrade What You Have
Not every project requires a completely new system. Existing facilities may be able to retain useful equipment and infrastructure while replacing components that are unreliable, outdated or no longer meeting operational needs.
Allstar can assess the current system, identify performance and usability problems, document existing infrastructure and recommend practical options for repair, expansion or phased modernization.
Identified Problems & Operational Risks
- Intermittent Signal Loss: Aging analog VGA/composite distribution failing under modern laptop HDMI/USB-C inputs.
- Severe Cable Sprawl: Unlabeled patched wires making routine troubleshooting take hours instead of minutes.
- Thermal Overheating: Blocked airflow in legacy cabinets causing premature amplifier and DSP lockups.
What Materially Improved
- Preserved Sound Infrastructure: Retained structural conduit, existing speaker lines, and functional power conditioning.
- Rapid Serviceability: Precision rear lacing bars, laser-engraved labels, and comprehensive as-built schematics.
- Thermal Overheating: Blocked airflow in legacy cabinets causing premature amplifier and DSP lockups.
Assessment may include
System performance and coverage
Equipment condition and expected service life
Compatibility between existing and proposed equipment
Cabling, infrastructure and equipment racks
Control-system usability
Current and future operational requirements
Repair, replacement and phased-upgrade options
Budget priorities and implementation planning

Technology People Can Actually Use
A system only creates value when the people responsible for it can operate it confidently.
Allstar considers usability throughout the design and programming process. We develop practical control interfaces, establish appropriate user-access levels and provide training based on the facility’s everyday operating needs.
Training can be provided for regular users, technical operators and facility personnel, helping clients operate the system consistently and understand when additional support may be required.
- Clear and consistent control interfaces
- Training for everyday users and technical operators
- System documentation and operating guidance
- Different access levels where appropriate
- Follow-up training when staff or operating needs change
Support Beyond Installation
The relationship does not end when the system is commissioned.
Allstar provides ongoing technical support, maintenance, troubleshooting and system upgrades to help protect the client’s investment and keep critical technology operating reliably.
As equipment, software and facility requirements change, our team can help assess new needs, maintain system compatibility and plan future improvements.
Services may include
- Preventive maintenance
- System inspection and testing
- Troubleshooting and repair
