The Role of Audio Visual Consultants

The technology used to connect people, communicate ideas and deliver messages is becoming increasingly sophisticated and integrated. Whether it is in an office environment, conference room or stadium, audio visual consultants play a critical role in elevating these experiences and providing solutions that enable business and individuals to excel.


Audio visual consultants are responsible for evaluating a client’s needs and goals to determine the best solution for their unique space and use. They create detailed plans and schematics of an AV installation, including acoustic considerations, lighting, wiring and equipment suggestions. They also provide user training and documentation. In addition, they often assist with new construction projects, as they can work directly with architects and general contractors to shape the AV design and ensure that the system meets industry and design standards.

Choosing the right audio visual consultant for your project can be difficult. During the interview process, it is important to ask for examples of past projects and customer testimonials. These can help you gauge their level of experience and ability to perform quality work. Additionally, you should inquire about their education and professional certifications. Lastly, you should look for a consultant who offers working Proof of Concepts on the equipment that they are recommending.

A professional AV integrator is able to translate an individual’s technology needs into an effective, cost-efficient and practical AV installation that is easy to integrate into a facility. They are able to do this through the use of a design-build methodology, where the technology consultants and installation team are all under one roof and work together to interpret and produce designs, then refine those designs until they align with the project’s objectives.

InSight Systems partnered with Marvel Stadium to upgrade their full audio system. Their goal was to improve their patrons’ experience with the stadium by increasing clarity, quality and overall sound reproduction throughout the arena. InSight’s team started by conducting a thorough AV audit of the stadium and creating a detailed scope of work to identify and prioritize project goals.

The audit resulted in the development of a custom-built acoustic treatment plan and audio/visual upgrade to the existing stadium’s PA system, which included an in-house rigging system with a flyable LED video wall. The system also features a new digital signage network, wireless microphones and streaming capabilities.

As the AV industry continues to evolve, it’s vital that you choose an experienced consultant who is up to date on the latest technologies, trends and products. Having someone on your side who can provide guidance and support in the form of education, training and advice will save you time and money. AV consultants can also help you find the newest technologies that can help your business transform and empower your employees, customers and patrons.
