Having great, not good, not okay, but great sound is imperative to your fundraising auction event’s success. Here are some tips regarding audio/visual at your fundraising event:
- Never use the in-ceiling house system.
- Always surround the room with speakers (Don’t leave out the attendees in the back).
- Always have screens with auction items displayed during live auction.
- Don’t forget to have high quality sound in your silent auction area as well (If located in a different area).
- Don’t have too much treble or too much bass.
- Have a professional A/V company handle it!
I am no expert in designing or setting up the A/V equipment and I’m assuming you are not either, so have a professional do this step… it can make thousands of dollars difference in your bottom line! Just picture yourself at a fundraising auction sitting at one of the tables in the back of the room when there are only two speakers in the front and people around you are chatting with each other. All you can hear is a rumbling sound but you can’t quite make out what the auctioneer is saying… you can’t bid if you can’t hear so the result to the non-profit or school is less money.
Not only is it important to have enough speakers but it is equally important to have enough amperage to power the speakers. You want rich, deep sound when the auctioneer is chanting or your emcee is speaking. I leave you with one final thought: “Is it worth paying a fee to an A/V company if you can make significantly more at your event?”
