THE EPIC SIGNATURE
Don’t think in
speakers and wires.
Think in outcomes.
It’s not Epic unless it kicks ass.
We start with the experience you want to create and engineer the technology around it.
Audio, network, Wi-Fi, video, security and control—built as infrastructure your staff can actually operate.
Great sound creates energy.
Great technology disappears.
And great systems grow with your business.
We value-engineer the how. We don’t value-engineer the outcome.
We can find smarter ways to deliver the design. What we won’t do is compromise the performance standard just to produce the lowest number on a spreadsheet.

Gym sound systems.
Connected facilities.
Make the energy unforgettable. Keep the technology under control.
From the energy on the training floor to the systems behind the front desk, EPIC brings audio, television, cabling, cameras and rack integration into one coordinated installation.
SUPPORT, DESIGNED IN
A smarter way to service the rack.
Rack PCs provide a practical point of access for firmware and software maintenance and technician diagnosis, helping technicians investigate issues and isolate hardware faults.
AV/IT coordination for fitness construction
For general contractors building gyms and fitness studios, EPIC coordinates with the general contractor and project electrician to integrate audio, video and IT into the construction schedule, including installation and organized cable routing.

CAPABILITIES
The whole system.
Considered together.
From the first design decisions to the details of daily operation, every connection matters.
Video & displays
Display systems and video distribution planned around sightlines, content and the people using the space.
Meeting & collaboration
Room audio, cameras and presentation technology brought together for in-person and remote conversations.
IT & connectivity
Network and cabling infrastructure that gives connected equipment a considered foundation.
Integrated control
Connected controls for the functions people use most, with day-to-day operation at the center of the design.
System care & support
Service access, firmware and software maintenance, and diagnostic tools considered as part of the system.
WHOLE GYM SOLUTIONS
Whole gym audio,
video & IT systems.
An immersive sound experience designed to help members find their rhythm, push harder and bring their best to each workout: smooth musical detail, controlled power and bass they can feel.
Smooth. Sexy. Powerful.
EPIC designs for a smooth, sexy musical experience with bass that hits you in the chest. Integrated speakers, subwoofers and precise tuning bring weight, clarity and drive to the training floor. Each zone is shaped for its purpose, from a welcoming reception to an energized workout space.
More screens. One plan.
Bring entertainment to the workout floor with a coordinated display and distribution design. EPIC supplies and installs TVs and designs the distribution system behind them. An internal QAM cable-TV network can deliver 1080-resolution video, letting users select programming simply by changing the TV channel. For projects requiring flexible source routing, EPIC also designs AV-over-IP systems with network-based matrix switching. Compatible source signals can be converted into television channels at a central equipment location, combined and distributed over coaxial cabling. Compatible televisions tune the available channels, allowing multiple screens to share centrally located sources. Source count, channel format, cable layout and display compatibility are selected together so the system fits the facility and its planned expansion.
Business connectivity comes first
Robust wired and Wi-Fi infrastructure supports business communications. A custom, isolated guest network uses bandwidth limits and session controls to help preserve business capacity during busy periods. EPIC coordinates these policies and network configuration with your IT provider.
Cameras and recording
Client-directed placement prioritizes injury-prone and theft-sensitive areas. Clear high-definition recording supports incident review, helps deter theft and helps manage liability risk.
Installed, measured and tuned
EPIC uses acoustic measurements and listening checks to align speakers and subwoofers, adjust equalization and delay, verify levels, and test paging priority. Final settings reflect the installed room and the intended listening experience.
Remote expertise. Local hands-on support.
Your system is managed from our office. The lead technician who installs your gym provides local, hands-on support for physical equipment needs that remote access cannot resolve.
Control, support and project delivery
Music, announcements and convenient control
Front-desk paging can automatically lower music in designated zones while announcements are made. Tablet-based control provides access to supported system functions. Source routing, zone levels and paging behavior are programmed for the agreed operating needs.
An organized foundation
Every system includes a rack PC. The handover plan covers agreed system drawings, a walkthrough of everyday controls, and guidance on requesting support. Remote support requires a working network connection and authorized access. Service arrangements and hands-on support are coordinated for each facility.
Entry-system hardware
Selected intercom, reader and control-hub installation can be included. Door hardware supply, installation and configuration responsibilities are defined individually.
From the floor plan to the handover
- Define the priorities. Review the floor plan, activity areas, desired audio experience, television locations, camera views and front-desk needs.
- Coordinate the design. Develop the system layout, source and connection plan, equipment-rack arrangement and responsibilities for client-furnished equipment and other trades.
- Install and verify. Install the agreed systems, test cabling and connections, and commission the audio for the completed space.
- A clear handover for your team. Retain audio settings as a service reference, walk through everyday controls, and clarify responsibilities between EPIC, your technician and your IT provider.

GROUP FITNESS ROOM SOLUTIONS
Group fitness audio.
Music and instruction.
Instructor-led rooms need energy and intelligibility together. RTR Pilates illustrates our approach to separate voice and music systems.
Instructor voice overhead
Dedicated pendant speakers distribute instruction across the participant area, bringing the instructor's voice closer to each listener.
Program audio up front
Front loudspeakers and subwoofer reinforcement deliver the music. Separate routing, processing and level controls balance voice and program audio.
Simple class controls
The RTR iPad interface puts microphone, music and subwoofer levels within reach. Source selection and system controls are tailored to the instructor's needs.
A dependable backup
A dedicated media player provides an offline music source when Wi-Fi or streaming is unavailable. The RTR brochure describes the TASCAM CD-400U backup approach.
Designed before installation
Speaker quantity and placement are planned for the room, its participants and the class format, from Pilates and cycle to HIIT and other group fitness.
Calibrated in the room
Measurements and listening checks refine levels, equalization, crossover, delay and polarity after installation.
FITNESS / EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE
