What is Pro AV?

Pro AV (Professional Audio-Visual) is the design, integration, and installation of digital technology systems across sectors like education, government, corporate, and retail. It's not about live events or broadcast, it's about ensuring that microphones, speakers, projectors, and conferencing systems in classrooms, offices, and auditoriums work seamlessly and reliably, every time.
