Frequently Asked Questions

"AV solutions" refers to technology that enhances how we see and hear information. This includes a wide range of equipment and systems used for presentations, communication, entertainment, and more. Think video conferencing, digital signs in stores, sound systems at concerts, or even the projector and screen in a classroom. At APACE, we specialize in designing and implementing these solutions to elevate your business or organization.

While some basic AV setups can be DIY, professionals bring expertise in design, installation, and acoustics. They ensure high-quality audio and video, seamless integration of different technologies, and can customize solutions to your specific needs and space. This saves you time, avoids costly mistakes, and results in a more effective and reliable system. APACE has a team of certified experts ready to assist you.

Although they share some similarities, professional AV systems used in businesses and institutions often require higher quality components, more complex integration, and greater control capabilities than typical home theater setups. They also need to be more robust and reliable for continuous use. APACE focuses on delivering professional-grade solutions with a focus on durability and performance.

This can vary greatly, but common components include: displays (projectors, screens, monitors), audio components (microphones, speakers, amplifiers), control systems, and source devices (computers, media players). APACE offers a wide selection of top-tier equipment from leading brands.

Consider these factors:

• Purpose: What will you use the system for? (meetings, presentations, entertainment, etc.)
• Audience size: How many people will be using the system?
• Space: What are the dimensions and acoustics of the room or venue?
• Budget: How much are you willing to invest?

• Future needs: Will your needs change in the coming years?

Projectors offer larger image sizes at a lower cost per inch, but flat panels provide higher contrast and better image quality in bright rooms. The best choice depends on your needs and budget. APACE can help you determine the optimal display solution for your specific application.

Cloud-based solutions are generally easier to set up and manage, while on-premise solutions offer greater control and security. APACE can guide you through the pros and cons of each option to find the best fit for your organization.

Poor acoustics can make it difficult to hear and understand speech. Solutions include:

• Acoustic panels: Absorb sound reflections to reduce echo and reverberation.
• Sound masking: Introduce background noise to improve speech privacy and reduce distractions.
• Microphone selection: Use microphones designed for your specific room and purpose.

APACE can analyze your space and recommend acoustic treatments to optimize sound clarity and intelligibility.

Ensure you have:

• Reliable internet connection: A strong and stable internet connection is crucial.
• High-quality camera and microphone: Invest in good equipment for clear audio and video.
• Proper lighting: Ensure adequate lighting for clear video.
• Testing and troubleshooting: Regularly test your equipment and have a plan for troubleshooting common issues.

APACE provides comprehensive support and maintenance services to ensure your video conferencing systems run smoothly.

Feedback occurs when the sound from the speakers is picked up by the microphone and amplified, creating a loop. To prevent this:

• Position microphones carefully, away from speakers.
• Use directional microphones.

• Employ feedback suppressors.

APACE's expert technicians can identify and resolve feedback issues to ensure clear and professional audio.

Blurry images can be caused by several factors, including:

• Incorrect focus.
• Improper distance between the projector and screen.
• Obstructions in the projection path.

• Lamp issues.
