FAQ Section
Q: What types of AV Design Guides do you offer for commercial installations?
A: We provide comprehensive guides covering conference room design and layout, video conferencing system planning (Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms), audio DSP configuration, network infrastructure for AV systems, control system programming, digital signage deployment, video wall specifications, wireless presentation solutions, and AV-over-IP implementation. Each guide includes equipment lists, technical specifications, wiring diagrams, and best practice recommendations. Browse our complete AV Design Resources collection or request a custom consultation.
Q: Are these AV Design Guides suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects?
A: Absolutely. Our guides specifically address both scenarios with separate sections for new construction pre-wire specifications and retrofit/renovation considerations where existing infrastructure must be accommodated. You'll find conduit sizing recommendations, in-wall rough-in requirements, ceiling grid modifications, and non-invasive cable routing techniques for existing spaces. Many resources include side-by-side comparisons of traditional wired approaches versus modern wireless and AV-over-IP alternatives ideal for retrofit situations.
Q: Do you provide equipment recommendations within your AV Design Guides?
A: Yes, each guide features curated equipment selections across multiple price tiers (good/better/best) from manufacturers we officially represent including Biamp, Shure, Crestron, Extron, QSC, Logitech, Poly, Yealink, Samsung, LG, and others. All recommended products are available through Creation Networks with same-day shipping on in-stock items, and purchases include free lifetime technical support.

Q: Can I get help customizing an AV Design Guide for my specific project requirements?
A: Yes! While our downloadable guides provide excellent starting frameworks, we offer free system design consultation services where our certified engineers review your space dimensions, usage requirements, budget constraints, and technology preferences to create a customized proposal. Simply request a quote with your project details, and we'll typically respond within 24 business hours with a tailored system design and equipment list.
Q: What certifications and experience back these AV Design Guides?
A: Our guides are developed and continuously updated by engineers holding active certifications including CTS (Certified Technology Specialist), CTS-D (Design), CTS-I (Installation), Microsoft Teams Rooms Deployment Specialist, Zoom Rooms Certified Integrator, Cisco Webex Video Integration Specialist, Dante Level 2 & 3, Crestron DMC, Extron Control Professional, and Biamp Tesira Certified. The team has collectively completed over 2,000 commercial AV installations since 2008 across corporate, education, government, and hospitality verticals.
Q: How often are your AV Design Guides updated to reflect new technologies and standards?
A: We review and update all guides quarterly to incorporate new product releases, evolving unified communications platform requirements, updated network standards (such as AV-over-IP protocols and PoE specifications), and emerging best practices from our field deployment experience. Major revisions occur when manufacturers release significant platform updates or when industry standards organizations publish new recommendations. You'll always receive current, accurate information.
Q: Do you offer training resources or webinars on how to use these AV Design Guides effectively?
A: Yes, we regularly host live and on-demand webinars covering AV system design fundamentals, platform-specific deep dives (like Teams Rooms vs. Zoom Rooms design considerations), and technology trend updates. We also provide one-on-one walkthrough sessions for partners and clients working on complex projects.
Q: What's included in the free system design consultation mentioned with your AV Design Guides?
A: When you submit a design request, you'll receive a comprehensive review including space analysis and capacity planning, equipment recommendations with detailed specifications, system architecture diagrams showing signal flow and connectivity, network requirements and bandwidth calculations, cable schedule and pathways documentation, equipment rack elevation drawings, rough-in specifications for electrical and low-voltage, budget estimates with line-item pricing, and implementation timeline recommendations.
