Fluvanna County High School Classroom Technology
We are very excited to have been awarded the bid to provide classroom technology for the new Fluvanna County High School! Thank you so much to Fluvanna County for partnering with us! Even better, we will be installing the very latest in projector technology for educational environments: the Epson BrightLink 455Wi.
The BrightLink 455Wi interactive projector can be used to transform a wall, whiteboard or table into an interactive learning area. This flexibility allows for educators to meet the varied learning needs of their students – whether in large groups, small work teams or even individually – while maximizing the existing space in their classrooms.

We now offer audio visual rentals in Harrisonburg, VA
We are pleased to announce that we are now offering audio visual services in Harrisonburg, Virginia!

We have now added Harrisonburg, VA to that list!

BIG News: We Now Offer HD Projectors!
Meeting and Event Planners: Make your events look their very best in 2011 with HD projection. This is the latest & greatest in meeting & event technology and The AV Company is the first company in Central Virginia to offer these projectors for rental!
We now have the Digital Projection M-Vision available in 400-5500 lumens. Those numbers may not mean much to you but what will mean a lot is that they produce picture quality that is FAR superior to other machines and the new devices are capable of displaying moving pictures instead of just snapshot like images.

We Party Like Rockstars
A BIG thank you to the Music Resource Center for allowing us to be a part of their ‘Party Like A Rockstar’ event this weekend. It was a great time for a great cause and we wanted to share some photos of the lighting that we provided. Another BIG thank you to Rick Trabell for capturing it so beautifully in these photos. More about the cause from their website…

The mission of the Music Resource Center is to educate and inspire young people and through music equip them with life skills for the future. We accomplish this mission through music education and performance opportunities, as well as life skills mentoring.

Lighting the South Lawn
The University of Virginia dedicated the South Lawn Project yesterday. Thank you to UVA for choosing us to do the lighting & Jen Fariello for these great photos!
Customize Your iPad
As you have probably gathered from some of our recents posts, we love the iPad. We have been doing lots of great installations with them lately and are looking forward to many, many more as the technology continues to grow. Sometimes controlling a space via iPad involves leaving that iPad unattended in the space at times when it’s not a private residence. This can obviously be a concern for clients given their popularity.
We recently came across what we think could be a great solution and the company is right here in Charlottesville with us! Ipad Laser Engraving can engrave the back of an iPad with anything from a company logo to a family photo. It would be pretty hard for anyone else to claim it as theirs. And, even if you aren’t concerned about securing the iPad, it still looks very cool!
Find out more and check out some of the great projects whey have done on their WEBSITE. They do iPhones as well!

Small Speakers. Big Sound.
Picture This: You’re at a wedding ceremony or conference for work where you can hear perfectly AND there is no large speaker blocking your view of the bride or presenter. Doesn’t happen very often does it? Well, our featured product this week makes it very possible. Meet the Bose L1 which is available for rental from The AV Company.
Believe it or not, the small speaker you see below is a unique, all-in-one system that delivers clear, powerful sound throughout small and medium-sized venues for up to 500 people. Because it’s made by Bose, the sound is even no matter where you are in the room and it eliminates the need for conventions monitors, mixers and PA systems in most cases.
Contact us today to reserve the Bose L1 for your wedding, event or conference!
