If you have the right AV setup, this will go a long way toward helping you have a great event. With a great audio-visual system installation crew, you'll be able to setup your AV system without making one of these common mistakes. 

Not Using the Proper Tools and Materials 

When installing an AV system, it's always important to use the right tools and materials. Otherwise, your AV system could become a safety hazard. Also, an AV system should only be installed by two or more people. 

Not Creating a Plan for Rigging Points

If you will be hanging anything from the ceiling, you will need to create rigging points. Tell the AV company about what you will need to hang and ask about how many rigging points you will need as a result. Have a plan for where you will hang each item. 

Not Making Sure That Your Electrical Components Are Configured Properly

If you do not set up the electrical configurations based on safety standards, you might overload your electrical wiring and you might create a fire hazard. Even if there is no fire, your AV system might simply crash in the middle of your event. Additionally, you will have a lot of long wires, and you'll want to make sure that they're organized properly so they do not become tangled.

Not Determining How Many Audio Inputs You'll Need

A sound mixer might only come with so many audio inputs. If you need an extra microphone for whatever reason, you may need to simply make due. However, if you talk to your AV installation crew about the needs of your event, they may have extra equipment they can provide you with that can help you overcome these limitations.

Not Considering How Long It Will Take to Uninstall the Equipment

Taking down AV equipment takes a long time. Make sure that your venue will give you enough time to take down the equipment without charging you extra to rent the venue for longer and that you have a crew that can help you take your equipment down.

The Benefits of the Right AV Company

Not only will the right AV company install your audio-visual equipment properly but they can also recommend a venue that will be ideal for your event. They will also help steer you away from expensive mistakes. Then, you can focus on making your event a success.
