Engineering
spaces that perform.
Decibl designs, engineers, integrates and optimizes professional audio, video, lighting and technology systems for organizations where communication matters — from houses of worship and corporate headquarters to performance venues, universities, hospitality environments and broadcast facilities.
Engineering better experiences.
Every space communicates differently. Every room behaves differently. Every audience listens differently. Every organization has different operational needs. Technology should never be purchased first — it should be engineered first.
We solve problems before recommending products. Discovery precedes design.
Every system begins as a signal-flow, an acoustic prediction and a network diagram.
We commission, document and support systems so they perform for years, not months.
Systems engineered for the environments that need them most.
Houses of Worship
Churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, multi-site campuses and retreat centers.
Corporate
Headquarters, boardrooms, conference centers, hybrid collaboration and experience centers.
Education
Schools, universities, lecture halls, auditoriums and performing arts centers.
Hospitality
Hotels, convention centers, ballrooms, luxury resorts and entertainment spaces.
Live Entertainment
Concert venues, theatres, touring productions, festivals and performance spaces.
Broadcast & Media
Podcast studios, recording studios, streaming facilities and content creation studios.
Six disciplines, one engineering standard.
From the first stakeholder interview to the tenth year of support, our practice is organized around a single principle: clarity — of design, of documentation, of sound.

Engineering first. Equipment second.
Most AV companies begin with a product catalog. We begin with a problem, a room and a set of expectations. The result is a system designed for the space it actually lives in.
- Sells products first
- Limited discovery
- Generic system designs
- Little documentation
- Basic installation
- Minimal testing
- Reactive support
- Consultation before recommendation
- Deep engineering-led discovery
- Coverage-modeled, room-specific design
- Comprehensive as-built documentation
- Measurement-based commissioning
- Verified performance & optimization
- Long-term partnership & lifecycle support
A selection of the systems we've engineered.
Each project is a story of discovery, design and disciplined execution. Every environment is different — the standard is the same.
“Technology exists to remove barriers, not create them. Great audio isn’t louder — it is clearer. Engineering should be invisible. The audience should remember the experience, not the equipment.”
Reliability is part of great design. Systems should continue performing years after installation.
Simple systems outperform complicated systems. Every decision should be intentional.
People trust what they can clearly hear. Clarity is the foundation of communication.
At Decibl, we believe engineering is an act of stewardship — of resources, spaces and people.
The man behind Decibl.
Praveen Gunja is an audio systems engineer with a passion for building technology that simply works. Over the years, he has designed, optimized, and supported AV systems across houses of worship, live productions, recording environments, and large event venues, developing a reputation for solving complex technical challenges with practical solutions.
Based in Minnesota, Praveen currently serves as an Audio Systems Engineer at Eagle Brook Church and collaborates with touring artists, production teams, and organizations that demand reliable, high-performance systems.
Decibl was born from the belief that every project deserves engineering before installation. Today, the company partners with organizations across multiple industries to design, integrate, optimize, and support professional audio, video, lighting, and networked AV systems built for long-term performance.
