Reliable AV is a signal-flow problem: know where every picture and sound starts, where it goes and what happens if any link fails.
Event AV covers sound reinforcement (microphones, mixer, speakers), displays (LED walls, projectors, TVs, confidence monitors), lighting and the signal routing that connects them to cameras, laptops and the stream.
The room decides the gear. Ceiling height, ambient light, audience size and seating shape whether you need an LED wall or a projector, and how many speakers cover the room evenly.
A site visit and a simple drawing (stage plot and signal flow) prevent most show-day problems.
| Question | Options | Our guidance |
|---|---|---|
| LED wall or projection? | LED is bright, works in daylight and outdoors; projection is economical for dark rooms and very large images. | LED for bright rooms, outdoors and camera-heavy events; projection for dark ballrooms on a budget. |
| Screen size | Rule of thumb: screen height about one-sixth to one-eighth of the distance to the farthest viewer. | We size from your floor plan and furthest seat. |
| Microphones | Handheld, lavalier, headset, podium gooseneck, or boundary. | Headsets for presenters who move; handhelds for Q&A; one spare per type. |
| Speakers | Point-source on stands, column arrays, or flown line arrays. | Column arrays for clear speech in medium rooms; line arrays for large venues and music. |

The distance between LED pixels in millimeters. Smaller numbers mean sharper images up close. A P2.6 wall looks crisp from a few meters back, ideal for stages and lobbies.
Yes, if it is outdoor-rated (IP65) and bright enough, typically 4,000+ nits. Our 16 × 10 ft P2.6 wall reaches 5,000 nits.
A mismatch between the camera shutter and the display refresh rate. We use high-refresh LED processing and set camera shutters to match.
Ours is rated at 5,000 nits, bright enough for daylight. We still aim it away from the low sun, use high-contrast content and give the processors shade and airflow in summer heat.
Yes, with a cold-weather plan: covered cable runs, gear warmed up before doors, spare batteries kept warm, and a rain and wind call made by a set time with the venue.
We can build the screens and sound. Showing a game publicly is a broadcast-rights question, so the venue needs the right commercial viewing license. We handle the AV; you or the venue confirm the license.
