a recent AVIXA survey<\/a>, AV-system end users and providers (which have seen reductions of 25% and 31%, respectively) cite June as the month when AV projects will most likely resume.<\/p>\nWeirich notes that \u201cthese are very much consultant-driven and are projects that are 18 months or longer down the pike. The capex is heavy enough to sustain the momentum of projects like these even during this situation. Plus, these venues are still spending to maintain their systems during this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
From his perspective, there is also a small but specific silver lining to the sports shutdown: \u201cSports venues usually have a very tight time window in which to do the work, usually at the end of the season. Now we\u2019re finding the schedules to be very flexible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Venue sound systems are complex and are tasked to do everything from providing the narrative to a game to promoting merchandise to life safety. They\u2019re largely dormant now, but, like the sports that fill them, they\u2019ll be back in action soon. Taking care of them now means that they\u2019ll be ready to come off the bench when the whistle blows.<\/p>\n
