Choosing between an LED screen and a projector might seem like a fairly simple part of planning an event. In reality, it can make a huge difference to how professional your presentations, videos and branding look on the day. Both options can work extremely well. The right choice depends on the venue, audience size, lighting … Read more
The quality of an AV brief determines the quality of the AV setup. That is not a complicated point, but it gets ignored more often than it should. A vague brief gets you a generic quote, a generic setup, and a technician who arrives on the day without a clear picture of what they are … Read more
Something goes wrong at most events. Not always with the AV. But when it is the AV, it tends to be visible and audible to every person in the room at the same moment. A microphone that cuts out during a speech. A screen that goes black before the main presentation. Feedback that makes the … Read more

Most event planners ask this at some point. The AV equipment is booked. The venue is sorted. And then someone says: do we actually need a technician on the day, or can we just set it up ourselves? The honest answer depends on your event. But most people who skip the technician do it for … Read more
Most people booking microphones for an event do not spend much time on the decision. They ask for “a microphone” and assume that covers it. It is a reasonable assumption. But the type of microphone you use matters more than people realise. The wrong one for the situation either sounds bad, creates feedback, or makes … Read more
Lighting is the most underestimated part of event production. People spend months on the venue, the catering, and the programme. Then they look at the lighting quote and try to cut it. The problem is that lighting is what makes the room feel like an event rather than a meeting. Two identical venues with identical … Read more
London has a lot of AV companies. Searching online returns pages of results, most with similar websites and similar claims about being reliable, experienced, and good value.
