Why AV Site Visits Matter
For professional audiovisual companies, a venue inspection is an essential step in ensuring the success of your event. During this visit, a production manager or audio engineer will assess the site and make crucial decisions for optimal event setup. Here are the key elements on their site visit checklist:
Lighting Testing: We evaluate the lighting setup to ensure your event shines in the best possible way.
Ceiling Height: This is critical, as it affects our ability to use rigging to suspend screens for maximum visibility.
Rigging Restrictions: Safety is our top priority. We check for weight distribution and stage stability.
Power Availability: Indoor and outdoor events have different power requirements, and we make sure everything is covered, even if generators are needed.
Space Dimensions: We verify the dimensions of the space and note any potential obstructions that might affect setup or traffic flow.
Equipment Storage: We scope out the best location for equipment storage.
Decor Impact: We consider how the decor will affect sound and lighting to create a harmonious atmosphere.
Load-In/Load-Out Logistics: We plan for smooth transitions in and out of the venue.
AV Team Space: We allocate the proper space for our audiovisual team and behind the scenes booth.
In-House Venue Services: We check what the venue provides in-house to avoid redundancy and streamline the process.
Security Policies: If it’s an overnight event, we review security policies regarding AV equipment.
Internet Access: We confirm high-speed internet access to ensure seamless connectivity.
