Audio Visual Installation
For most people, the procedure for audio visual installation is no more involved than taking their new plasma or LCD TV out of a massive box and plugging it into a home cinema system, clicking the “on” button and watching while the automatic setup program runs.
If you’ve bought a cheap home cinema system and TV that’s probably ok but to be reasonable to the makers, you should dedicate a bit of time to reading the installation instructions quite closely.
But who isn’t in a hurry at this moment!
Suppose however that you have purchased better quality AV kit and have an excellent quality high definition LCD or plasma display or even a projector then it is often worth getting a suitably qualified AV engineer to help you configure and set up your equipment so that you get a top quality audio and visual experience.
There is no point in owning top notch electronics and paying little attention to setting it up carefully.
Careful AV installation does matter. It makes a big difference.
AV Installers are true experts in picture and sound calibration. They can help you get the best from your equipment using specialist technical equipment of their own. But if you are after a top quality AV installation and have a reasonably substantial budget then you should consider using an AV installer to help you specify the equipment you need in the first place. The ideal system should take into account the quality of the space and acoustics of your home cinema so that you get the cinema quality AV experience you want. Large rooms with high ceilings and hard reflective surfaces need entirely different settings on your amplifier than low rooms with plush carpets and curtains.
A qualified AV technician will explain how he works without boring and baffling you with technical jargon but never forget that the ultimate judge of your AV Installation is you yourself.
