16 church installations on record
You funded the tech upgrade. Now protect it.
Lockable, ventilated, built-to-order furniture for church tech booths — so the sound, video and streaming gear your congregation paid for keeps working, Sunday after Sunday.

01
Where the money goes once the gear arrives
The furniture is usually the last line itemA church AV system is one of the largest single purchases a congregation makes. A small church's sound and streaming rig commonly lands between $10,000 and $30,000; a medium church between $30,000 and $75,000; a large one well past that.
Then the gear arrives, and it is set down on whatever the room already had — a folding table, an open rack in a closet, a shelf behind the platform. None of that furniture was designed to hold it, keep it cool, keep its cabling tidy, or keep it from walking out of the building.
The equipment is not a side project any more: 87% of U.S. churches now stream their services. The booth is where the service is produced every week.
- Theft: sound and AV equipment is a standing target for after-hours break-ins. A Hawkins County, Tennessee church reported $10,000 of sound equipment stolen; a Delaware County church lost $130,000 of AV equipment in a single incident.
- Damage and tampering: in a multipurpose room the platform is shared with children's ministry, and open gear is within reach of a chair leg, a ball and a curious hand.
- Dust and cleaning crews: exposed equipment collects whatever a mop and a spray bottle put into the air, and a wipe-down around live gear is how gear fails.
- Sunday-morning hunts: unmanaged cabling and unpacked storage mean the volunteer who arrives twenty minutes early has to solve a problem before they can run a service.
What we hear from church teams: “We just spent the money on the gear. We cannot spend it again.” That is the whole case for putting the gear somewhere it is protected.

Protection is a set of parts, not a slogan
Every item below is a standard HSA optionHSA furniture is specified, not just bought. These are the options church orders actually carry, and each one is a page you can read before you decide.
-
Locking tambour doors
The rolltop itself locks. The desk closes, the gear disappears behind the tambour, and nothing on the work surface is available to a passer-by.
-
Institutional Lock System
The heavy-duty, SFIC-compliant lock schools and institutions specify: master-keying for the staff who need access, and quick re-keying when a key goes missing.
-
Digital Programmable Locks
Keyless access — 20 codes per lock and a battery life rated at 75,000 cycles, so a code can be retired the week a volunteer moves on.
-
Padded covers
Custom-fitted covers for desks, racks and podiums, in padded and non-padded versions, with a hook-and-loop seam one person can manage.
-
Ventilation
Dual 3-inch fans with thermal control and probe: the difference between a sealed desk and a sealed desk that cooks the amplifiers inside it.
-
Technology Port
An interconnection box built into the surface — AC power, RJ45, USB-C, USB-A, HDMI and 3.5 mm audio, with a cover and a dust brush, so cabling enters through the furniture instead of across its front edge.
-
19-inch rack bays
Rack rails above and below the work surface, so consoles, switchers and amps are mounted rather than stacked, and the bays close with the desk.
-
Built to order
Sizes are drawn to the room, so a desk can fit an existing booth, an alcove or a corner cabinet that is staying.

Where churches usually start
Six models that cover most church boothsEvery model below can be built at a different size, with different rack bays and a different finish. The copy and the photographs are the records' own.
INSEXT-II Inspire Extended
The desk on record in the most church booths we have built: extra depth, width and height, with an 18 RU matching rack for clearance and legroom under the desk.
Read the INSEXT-II model page →
EXTRT-II Extended Rolltop
Extra tabletop in every direction and a 10 RU undermounted rack — the one churches choose when the gear is deeper or wider than a standard desk will take.
Read the EXTRT-II model page →
RTQUAD-II The Rolltop Custom Quad
82.5 inches wall to wall, with four slide-out 3 RU rack bays above the surface and two undermounted 10 RU bays below, for a booth that runs the whole service from one position.
Read the RTQUAD-II model page →
CLAS24-II Classic Rack
For the rack that lives in the room rather than in a desk: 24 spaces of 19-inch mounting in oak, with a removable rear panel and a lower cable exit.
Read the CLAS24-II model page →
INS18RK-II Inspire Extended Rack
The matching side rack for an Inspire desk: extra equipment room, and connectors between several control positions.
Read the INS18RK-II model page →
USAVID44 Lectern
For the platform itself — a locking rolltop lectern that holds the presentation gear and closes over it.

Send us the room and the gear list
An estimate, not a catalogue numberEstimates are built from the room and the equipment, so two things are enough to start: the booth's dimensions — a photograph with a tape measure in it works — and the list of what has to live in the desk.
You get a drawing at the size the room allows and a price for that drawing. If the booth is being rebuilt as part of a larger project, we can work from the architect's or integrator's drawing instead.
