If you plan to hold an audiovisual conference for your staff and customers soon, you may need to assess, check, or upgrade your equipment. Audiovisual (AV) equipment, such as microphones and receivers, should be able to convey sound and images properly. If your AV equipment isn't up to par, your conference may not go as well as you expect it to go. Below are things you need to do to your audiovisual equipment before your conference. 

Test Your Microphones, Receivers, and Speakers

Your microphones, receivers, and speakers are some of the most important AV equipment you need today. If your equipment can't process sound, your audience won't be able to hear you speak clearly. 

A test can look for things in your equipment you might not notice until the day of your conference, including poor reception and sound output. For example, your microphones should be able to project your voice across the room. If your microphones and speakers sound staticky, muffled, or exceptionally low, the audience in the back of your conference room may struggle to hear your voice.

To ensure your audience hears and processes everything you say during your conference, test your microphones, receivers, and speakers today. An AV technician can test the clarity and reception of your equipment. A technician can also check the volume levels of your speakers and microphones. If a technician finds a problem with your equipment, they can repair or solve it for you. 

A technician can also check your other AV equipment for you, including your projectors.

Inspect Your Projectors 

If you plan to use projectors during your presentation, have a technician inspect the equipment immediately. Your projector may be one of the most critical pieces of AV equipment at your conference. The equipment allows you to do a number of things, including highlight your company's products and services during your presentation.

If your projector is out of focus or unable to display images on your screens, it may affect the quality of your presentation. Some types of projectors can overheat if you use them for long periods of time, including LCD projectors.

If your projector overheats during the inspection before your conference, have a technician install fans or other components in the equipment. If a technician can't cool down your projector with fans, replace the equipment before the day of your conference.

Don't hesitate to contact an audiovisual technician for the equipment tests and repairs you need for your conference today.
