It’s November and that means budgeting season is coming to an end. Did you remember to account for your company’s A/V needs? Budget season is one of the most important times of the year, because you are setting up the guidelines for your business’ success in the upcoming year! Whether you are running on the fiscal year or school year, there is always a few weeks of stress where you have to crunch numbers and figure out how you are going to allocate dollars and cents for your business. The importance of budgeting technology solutions in your 2019 budget… We now live in a world where technology shapes everything, from the way businesses, succeed to the moods people experience. Audio and video systems can optimize your business atmosphere and solve customer pains you may have not known existed. Let’s consider how A/V can greatly impact a company. For example, a Church or House of Worship must have quality A/V so that messages can be communicated to the entire congregation. If people cannot hear those speaking to them because of malfunctioning speakers or microphones, the services would be negatively impacted. In a similar way, restaurants and sports bars rely on A/V technologies, such as TV monitors and speaker systems, to keep their guests entertained. Can you imagine if the TV’s in a restaurant or bar were not working during the football season?

Sound and video systems can suffer from hums and other noises.  In audio, they can be heard and in video, they can actually be seen.  If you are hearing the wrong sounds out of your audio system or seeing Hum bars or other distortions on your video screens, here are a few tips to help diagnose the issues. First, do your best to identify the symptoms.  A hiss is different from a hum, which is different from a squeal.  Let’s start with the most common, a “hum”.  This can often be caused by AC power challenges.  The first thing to check is to see if the equipment is plugged into a dedicated and isolated AC outlet.  If the hum changes (in volume or tone) when you turn on lights, shut down unrelated equipment or if you change outlets, it’s usually an AC issue.  Consult with you A/V Contractor, but most likely you will need an Electrician to resolve the matter. If the sound is more like a Buzz or Hiss, this could be caused by lose ground wires or improperly adjusted (often over-driven) ins or outs.  Check for loose connections or unplugged cables.  If that does not help, turn all volume controls to zero and bring them up equally but none past 50% until you have the desired volume.  If the unwanted sounds persist contact you’re A/V Contractor for assistance. Noises can often occur in A/V systems and may be brought-on over time or come and go intermittently.  If basic troubleshooting (as noted above) has not fixed the problem an experienced trouble-shooter will be necessary to isolate and eliminate your concerns.  Keep in mind, although these odd noises can be annoying and have a negative impact on any presentation, they could also damage your systems.  Protect your technology investment and contact a true professional for Tech support.  www.CSAVsystems.com is ready to help you whenever the need may arise.
