Taking care – a few tips to make A-V device a perfect exposure

If you are interested in using audio visual set ups you can easily benefit for the same. There are various tips that one needs to follow in order to make sure that all the problems associated with that of audio-visual systems are uniquely solved.

The set up as whole:

When setting up an audio system, the last item to be turned on is the amplifier.

Start with all your audio sources (microphones, DVD players, Computer inputs, etc.) and make sure the level of each audio source is at 0 db (db is the abbreviation for decibels which is a measurement of sound). Play your audio while maintaining the 0db level as the signal goes through your system. Once you have verified the signal is going through your system, then you can power on your amplifier and set the “loudness” to the desired level.

check the sources

Most systems we encounter are not using all sources, on wall plates and/or floor boxes for example, on a regular basis. Periodically check those sources for connectivity. Do this by connecting a source to the available port. This will let you know in advance if there is an issue so that you are not fumbling to resolve audio or video issues right before a big meeting.

Check the filter of projectors

Most commercial projectors have filters that are replaceable. When changing the projector lamp, check and clean the filters as well. This will keep the projector temperature down and prolong the life of your projector. Also, never be caught with a failing lamp or clogged filter before a key meeting or important class – Keep a spare lamp and filter on hand. Since replacement of both items is based on usage, and usage is sometimes hard to track, having a spare lamp and filter could save the day.

Clean the back of all displays and monitors

Displays (LCD televisions, touch screen displays, monitors, etc.) are becoming more common and displays of all kinds do radiate heat. If the rear vents are congested with dust, air flow can be blocked and will cause the display to run at a higher temperature. Wipe away that dust with a microfiber cloth on the front, back, and sides of your displays regularly. Audio visual company makes sure that all the devices are up to date. 

Clean your touch/control panels

Over time of constant use, a film will develop on the surface of your touch/control panel. This can cause the panel to respond in an inconsistent manner. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the touch panel until it is free from dirt and grime.

So, all these factors are important to note and take care of in order to increase the longevity and usage of the same from the audio-visual company that you are using to hire.
