Audio Visual Consultant
An Audio Visual Consultant is a professional who specialises in current AV technology and advises clients on how best to employ that technology to achieve their desired goals. Whether the client is residential or commercial the AV Consultant helps their ideas find form so that they can enhance the quality of their domestic experience or take their pub, club or concert venue to the next level.
How the Audio Visual Consultant Helps
Technology is changing at breakneck speed. Things that seemed impossible just a decade ago are now commonplace. The role of the AV Consultant is to help the client understand the potential of the latest technology and how it can be employed to help them achieve their goals.
During the consultation process, the AV expert will take a number of things into consideration, including:
The size and shape of the space.
The acoustics of the space.
Sight lines and viewing angles for the video screen or screens.
The current power supply and connectivity setup within the space.
Ideal locations for speakers, screens and control mechanisms.
Attempting to install an advanced audio visual system in your home without the specialised knowledge and experience of a Home Audio Visual Consultant is a dubious endeavour at best as the potential for budget-busting mistakes is considerable.
The Consulting Process
The first step on the journey to your ideal audio visual system is to formulate a goal or set of goals for the project. At this point, we encourage the client to go for broke and lay out exactly what they would want. That may include live streaming capabilities, multiple video screens, a complementary lighting system and centralised control over every aspect of system performance.
Once the concept of the desired system has come into focus the next step is to move into the design phase. This involves:
Creating a rough design of what the system will look like and where different components will be located.
Determining which pieces of technology will be needed to bring the concept to life.
Choosing components that are an aesthetic match for the space.
Determining the proper order of installation.
Arriving at an overall cost for the project as currently envisioned.
Once the plan has been approved things move into the building phase. It’s important that the Audio Visual Consultant be engaged throughout the building process to ensure the right components are used, corners are not cut and that the builder adheres to both the spirit and the letter of the design.
