Arlene Scnitzer Hall, Portland, OR

MGA's foundation was laid in March 1976 when Michael Garrison launched His Sound in Portland, Oregon specifically to address the acoustical and audio system needs of churches. After ten years of operation in the Northwest, he opened a second office in Fresno, California. For nearly fifteen years, His Sound provided consultation and design/build services to churches nationally.

NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Crenshaw Christian Center of Los Angeles, CA
After an extensive national search, His Sound was awarded the contract to design the room acoustics and audio systems for a new 10,146-seat auditorium.

JBL Professional
Commissioned His Sound to design and develop CADP2™, a computer-aided acoustical analysis and loudspeaker modeling program for consultants and designers.

Calvary Church in Santa Ana, California
Requested that His Sound perform a cutting-edge computer modeling study of room acoustics to identify and document the optimal design for their new 3,200-seat sanctuary. Michael was invited by the Audio Engineering Society to write and present a technical paper on this unique work at the AES's 87th International Convention in 1989, and again in 1990.



Canyon Hills Assembly of God, Bakersfield, CA
Canyon Hills Assembly of God, Bakersfield, CA
The growth of the company's expertise in acoustical and architectural design resulted in a natural refocusing of resources and services. This re-direction was completed by closing the Portland contracting operation and, on January 1, 1991, changing the name of the company to Michael Garrison Associates (MGA). That year also marked the beginning of MGA's expansion to include a full scope of technical systems design/build services, which now includes acoustic, audio, image display, lighting, theatrical and video systems.
