All about audio visual hire

Are you planning a big live event of conference? If you want to make a real impact, you will need to hire the latest plasma display, projectors, lighting and AV switching equipment. Here are some of the things to consider when hiring audio and visual equipments for your big event.

Choosing the right equipments

Audio visual equipments Having a truly impressive conference or other live event requires the hiring of myriad of audio visual equipments. If that sounds like a tall order, you should leave it safely in the hands of a trusted expert who will guide you through the plethora of options open to you. Choose someone who has been in the business for some time and is experienced in handling similar events. Don’t economise – the last thing you want is to ruin the event with a last minute glitch. TVs and projectors Projector screens are a popular choice at corporate events as they can display the company's logo or theme of the event. They can also display video material to enhance the event. As such, they give a professional touch while enhancing the message you are trying to convey. Rear and front projection Rear projection is more popular than front projection as the image is not obscured by the people moving across the stage. However, it does require space at the back. If you have to go for front projection, plan the movements so that the image is not obscured. In such a situation, plasma or LCD TVs maybe a better choice. TV size Available in sizes of 40 to 60 inches, TVs are ideal for smaller rooms, bright lights or when rear projection is difficult. PA and sound systems A high quality sound system is essential for leaving a good impression of a live event. A basic system will consist of a mixer, amplifier, a set of speakers and a source – either a microphone, a CD player or any other form of playback. You need to ensure that the amplifier is powerful enough to fill the venue with sound. The type and number of speakers will depend on the venue. A specialist dealer will be able to guide you through the best options.

The final word

The judicious use of audio visual equipments can give a professional feel to live events. Make sure you use the services of a reputable dealer.
