AVL Defined: Audio, Video and Lighting
AVL stands for Audio, Video, and Lighting. An AVL integrator is a specialized company or team that designs, installs, and supports customized systems involving these three crucial components.
• Audio systems typically include speakers, microphones, mixing consoles, and acoustical treatments.
• Video systems involve cameras, displays, projectors, LED walls, live-streaming setups, and video distribution.
• Lighting covers stage lighting, architectural lighting, and specialized systems for auditoriums, worship spaces, and commercial venues.

What Does an AVL Integrator Actually Do?
A professional AVL integrator doesn’t just sell and install equipment. Their primary role is planning how audio, video, lighting, control systems, and networking technologies seamlessly come together as one unified system.
Their key responsibilities include:
• Consulting and Planning: Understanding your venue’s unique needs, budget, and vision.
• Designing: Creating detailed drawings, diagrams, and plans tailored specifically to your space.
• Installation: Integrating all components professionally into a cohesive, functioning system.
• Training and Support: Providing user training so you feel confident with your new system, along with ongoing technical support and maintenance.
