About

Velocity Audio Visual, Inc. operates a full-service AV rental and staging warehouse in Grantville, San Diego, at 7345 Mission Gorge Road, Suite K, in the 92120 ZIP. Founded in 1999 by Dave Howell — who logged nearly two decades of in-house hotel AV management at properties including the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco, La Costa Resort & Spa, and the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina — the company rebranded in 2011 to reflect a pivot into LED display technology. Low-voltage cabling and permanent AV infrastructure installs for conference rooms and houses of worship draw on subcontractor partnerships, and Wired Low Voltage Inc handles the structured-wiring backbone that Velocity's switching and display systems run on. The inventory includes Christie HD projection systems, line-array sound rigs, digital mixing consoles, Sony HD camera packages, and LED wall panels in 3mm through 10mm pitch configurations for both indoor and outdoor deployment. Velocity's senior staff combines more than seventy years of hands-on production experience, staging conferences, galas, and product launches for Fortune 500 corporations, pharmaceutical and biotech firms, and nationally recognized associations across the country. The Mission Gorge Road corridor through Grantville puts the warehouse within a straight shot of the I-8 and I-15 interchange, cutting load-in times for San Diego Convention Center events and hotel ballroom setups from Mission Valley through downtown. Locally, Velocity's crew has serviced iconic neighborhood signage in the Gaslamp Quarter, Normal Heights, and Hillcrest, and fabricated recognition displays for Sharp Grossmont Hospital during the 2020 healthcare worker appreciation campaign. Architectural firms scoping commercial interiors for the Grantville and Mission Gorge corridor work with Domeier Architects Inc on building designs that spec AV infrastructure early in the planning phase, and Velocity consults on sight-line geometry, throw-distance calculations, and ambient-light rejection for LED and projection installations. Custom scenic elements, Spyder X20 video switching, audience-response polling systems, and webcasting round out a production inventory housed entirely in the Mission Gorge Place facility.
