AV Systems
AV stands for AudioVisual. It’s a term used to describe any kind of technology relating to sound or pictures. AV technology facilitates events, broadcasts and even our daily working lives. In an industry where reliability is key, RTS has built a reputation for Rock Solid AV.
Unmatched AV experience and expertise
With our wide-ranging expertise and experience honed over more than 25 years in the business, no-one is better placed to handle your project. Today, RTS has a capable, friendly team of AV experts on hand to handle installations and event projects for organisations of all kinds.
Our steadfast commitment to high-quality AV work has meant that we are now the go-to AV suppliers for many international organisations.
Our Approach
As a leader in providing technically complex, high-end corporate and public sector AV services, our clients depend on our expertise and unfailing ability to provide high-end audiovisual equipment and service that works right every time.
Every venue and every event has unique AV requirements and characteristics. That’s why each AV project we undertake is treated as bespoke. Our clients also require confidentiality and security, and that’s what RTS provide every time.
What we do
We recommend, plan, design, build and set up all aspects of our clients’ AV including the staging, projection screens, audio equipment, video streams, live mixing and engineering, as well as simultaneous interpretation and translation for multi-lingual conferences.
The best way to find out how we can assist with your event, conference or concert is to call us for an informal discussion. We’re on 0844 800 6440.
We’re always happy to provide our recommendations and advice. We’re used to working speedily under time-sensitive deadlines, so don’t be afraid to call on us if you’re stuck.
Audiovisual experience matters
We regularly provide high-definition audio-visual equipment and support for high profile legal cases, inquiries and hearings. These projects demand a high level of attention to detail, quality in setup and a level of bespoke planning and operational logistics to ensure that security and privacy are upheld at all times.
It is this experience that allows us to offer such a high level of professional advice and service to all our clients, whether they need a desktop video conference installation for regular meetings with overseas co-workers, or a temporary web stream of their corporate event created to broadcast to their teams around the world.
