Frequently Asked Questions
What types of AV accessories are available?
AV accessories include items such as HDMI splitters and matrices, wallplates, adaptors, power supplies, batteries, rack cabinets, flightcases, stands, speaker brackets and protective bags or covers.
How do I choose the right HDMI splitter or matrix?
Start by counting how many source devices and displays you need to connect, then check supported resolutions, refresh rates, audio formats and available connection types to match your existing equipment.
Do I need special accessories for wall-mounting speakers or monitors?
Yes, you should use brackets or stands that match the speaker size, mounting hole pattern and weight. Check load capacity, tilt or swivel adjustment and fixing options for the mounting surface.
What should I consider when buying a rack cabinet or flightcase?
Check the required rack height in U, overall depth, ventilation needs and access to front and rear panels. Also consider mobility, lockable doors or lids and any need for castors or wheel bases.
How do I pick the right power accessories for my AV setup?
Assess how many mains outlets you require, the total current draw of connected devices and any need for surge protection, remote switching, travel voltage conversion or multi-voltage power supplies.
Which batteries should I use for microphones, remotes and small AV devices?
Check the device label or manual for the correct battery size and chemistry. Many AV devices use AA, AAA or 9V batteries, and some perform best with rechargeable or lithium options.
Are audio equipment bags and covers worth using?
Yes, bags and covers help reduce knocks, dust and light moisture exposure when transporting or storing mixers, instruments, speakers and lighting, which can extend the usable life of your equipment.
What is the difference between a power conditioner and a standard extension lead?
A power conditioner typically adds features such as filtered outputs or organised IEC connections for racks, whereas a standard extension lead mainly provides extra 13A sockets and cable reach.
How can I keep cables and connections tidy in an AV installation?
Use patch panels, rack shelves, cable management bars and clearly labelled wallplates. Planning cable routes and grouping similar connections together can make maintenance and troubleshooting easier.
Do I need a dedicated pre-amplifier for turntables or certain audio sources?
Sometimes a separate pre-amplifier is helpful when connecting devices like turntables to mixers or amplifiers that lack suitable inputs, as it brings the signal to an appropriate operating level.
