EVENT & MEETING A/V HINTS by Joey Reader, A-mazing Events Have you ever been in a meeting where something went wrong with the A/V? The following is a short list of some things to keep in mind when you're coordinating the A/V needs for your next event or meeting: * Overamplification is a common mistake. Volume will not compensate for improperly mixed sound or poor audio equipment - it will only draw more attention to the issue. * Screen Size should correspond with room size, set up and attendance. * Images on the large screen might appear distorted and discolored on the large screen. Be sure to test your presentations prior to the meeting to avoid this common mistake. * Don't forget about rehearsal time. Make sure a technician from your A/V company is available to attend rehearsal. * Don't take the house lights down too much that it becomes a hazard for your guests.
