By far, one of the worst things that can happen when you’re working with stage lighting is this: your lights just don’t work right. Maybe they’re not doing what you told them to do. Maybe they’re showing the wrong color, or worse—not responding at all. So, how do you fix it? Where do you start? And what’s the most reliable way to get them working again?

In today's guide, we’re diving deep into the process of hanging an LED wall. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced AV professional, we'll break this down step by step to ensure you do it safely and effectively for the best possible results.

Let's assume your PA system is already set up, and now you’re introducing a wireless microphone. In this guide, I’ll be using a handheld Airwave Wireless Microphone, a brand we love for its reliability.

When it comes to technology, failures are often frustrating, disruptive, and costly. At Above AVL, we believe that these failures are not only avoidable but can be minimized or eliminated entirely with proper planning, system design, and a deep understanding of how various pieces of equipment interact with one another.

Planning for a new audio, visual, or lighting (AVL) system is both a process that you can't start too soon, and you also can't be too careful with your planning.
