Integrated Audio Visual & Stage Lighting Systems

Without a clear, technically informed design strategy, it’s easy to fall into common traps:

• Misunderstanding system requirements — AV and lighting are frequently spec’d without consideration for sightlines, acoustics, power distribution, control integration, or future flexibility.
• Relying on general contractors or consultants with limited theatre experience — leading to designs that don’t reflect how performances function.
• Assuming all equipment is interchangeable — when proper system performance depends on carefully matched components and integrated controls.
• Overlooking the importance of lighting plots and AV signal flow early in the design — which can lead to costly rework, delays, or compromised results.
• Being overwhelmed by endless product options — with little guidance on what’s appropriate for your venue’s size, usage, or budget.
• Receiving inconsistent quality — from sourcing piecemeal solutions across multiple vendors without a cohesive technical plan.
