Events come in many shapes and sizes. From the largest product launch to the smallest boutique event, they all have a few pieces of technology in common.
Please read on to take a closer look at the technology every event needs.
Ample Speakers
There are speakers, and then there are speakers. Your event’s sound needs to be clear and balanced, not just loud. Getting the right speaker setup isn’t only about upping the wattage. It’s essential to get speakers suitable for the venue’s acoustics and the event’s nature.
For example, an album launch will have a different approach to speakers than a book or product launch. However, an album, book, or product launch may have very particular needs depending on the nature of the music, book, or product.
If you don’t know much about the technology itself or the differences between wattage and amplification, and you want some expert opinion, leading suppliers like Toronto Audio Visual Rentals do consulting in addition to renting their equipment. They have everything else you’d need for sound, too, like microphones, mixing boards, and even somebody to help you budget, plan, and present the event.
Digital Screens
It used to be that large TVs were expensive and rare. Now, screens of various sizes are ubiquitous and have become a cornerstone of digital technology. Televisions can be used like people once used projectors — cast a video or even a PowerPoint from your phone to any larger screen to add a digital component to your presentation.
Maybe it’s not information or data you’re presenting on the TV, but visual imagery that sets the tone or mood. Digital screens like TVs may not be the core of your lecture, talk, or presentation. But it’s a helpful, flexible tool that anybody should keep in their toolkit.
Stages
When making a presentation, it’s important to be elevated. Stages give the speaker a raised profile by literally lifting them above the audience. Practically speaking, this makes them more visible to everybody in the audience, but it also gives them a sense of elevated importance.
Staging isn’t a digital technology, but stages come in many configurations, and if you’ve ever had to set one up and take it down afterwards, you can appreciate how important it is for the parts to be light and compact. The leading rental companies can even go the extra mile and set it up for you.
Lights Are Everything
Lights aren’t just something there to help people see. There’s no better way to set the mood in a large space than by lighting. You need specific types of lighting for different purposes.
For example, guest speakers may need a spotlight, dancing and music require moving head lights, while a wall wash sets up the general atmosphere and ambiance. Connect with your local supplier to see these options and for more modern lighting tricks you may not know about, like 3D mapping, which can cast a light show onto a three-dimensional object instead of just a screen or wall.
