AV Installation
For nearly everyone, the procedure for audio visual installation just consists of pulling their new plasma or LCD TV from a substantial cardboard box and connecting it to a home cinema system, clicking the “on” switch and waiting for the auto set up program to run.
If you’ve bought a cheap home cinema system and TV that’s probably ok although to be fair to the makers, you should dedicate some time to reading the installation instructions fairly.
But who isn’t impatient at this stage!
But just suppose that you have invested in top quality home cinema kit and have a high quality, high resolution LCD or plasma display or even a projector then it is often worth getting a 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 proudly owning top flight electronics and paying little attention to setting it up properly.
Careful AV installation really does matter. It makes a huge difference.
AV Installers are true 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 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 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 yourself.
