AV Installation
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010For most people, the process of audio visual installation is no more involved than taking their new LCD or plasma TV out of a massive box and connecting it to a home movie system, pressing the “on” button and waiting for the auto set up program to run.
If you’ve bought a low cost home cinema system and TV that’s probably good enough but to be fair to the manufacturer, you ought to dedicate a bit of time to reading the installation instructions quite closely.
But we are all in a hurry at this stage!
Suppose however that you have invested in top quality audio visual kit and have an excellent quality high definition LCD or plasma display or perhaps a projector then it is often worth getting a suitably qualified AV Installer to help configure and set up your equipment so that you get the very best audio and visual experience.
There is no point in proudly owning top notch electronics and paying insufficient attention to setting it up properly.
Careful AV installation really does matter. It makes a huge difference.
AV Installers are experts in picture and sound calibration. They can help you get the best from your equipment using specialist equipment of their own. But if you are after a top quality AV installation and have a reasonably large 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 very different settings on your amplifier than low rooms with plush carpets and curtains.
A qualified AV installer will show you how he works without boring and bamboozling you with technical jargon but never forget that the ultimate judge of your AV Installation is you.
