my Notes on av technology and the what happens behind the scenes.

A chat with Simone Di Francescangelo on the skill that matters most once you move from installing AV to consulting on it: knowing when to compromise.

A conversation with Kristian Markovic on why being involved before a project is even designed matters more than being the cheapest quote once it's out to tender, and why that's the exact job an AV consultant is hired to do.

Line arrays look impressive in a small church, but the physics that makes them work needs distance most rooms don't have. Here's why point source often wins, and why getting the sound system design right the first time matters.

A chat with Darren Rod on how integrators actually choose a solution for a client, and why avoiding the budget conversation only makes it harder later.

A conversation with Matt Garty about why so many commercial AV systems end up sounding the same, and what gets quietly lost when audio visual is treated as a nice-to-have instead of a requirement.

Comparing AV quotes rarely means comparing apples to apples. Here's why bringing in an independent AV consultant, someone who works for you rather than a product line, makes the difference for schools, churches and other Queensland projects.
