AV Nightmares: July 11th

When AV applications are implemented into a space well, they can blend in as if the room was designed around it. When done wrong, those rooms may never look the same again, if they are habitable at all. We highlighted some of the AV industries lowlights in this week’s AV nightmares.

If you have ever experienced a situation like this, first, we apologize. But make sure to tweet photos of it to @proavmkt to be featured in our next post!

We can boost your audio…no problem at all! We’re the pros.

This might have been Mariah Carey’s mic pack (throwback joke)
