Expert Tips

1. Understand the warranty

Equipment warranties and labor warranties are different. Get both in writing.

2. Test at real volume

A system that sounds great at low volume may distort at event levels. Always test at full operating conditions.

3. Visit the space in person

No amount of floor plans replace a physical walkthrough. Acoustics, lighting, and power access all need eyes-on assessment.

4. Ask about permits

Salt Lake City requires permits for certain installations. Your provider should handle this.

5. Consider acoustics first

The best speakers in the world sound terrible in a room with bad acoustics. Treat the space.

6. Verify insurance coverage

Your provider should carry $1M+ general liability and workers' compensation.

7. Request a maintenance plan

Preventive maintenance costs a fraction of emergency repairs. Budget for it.

8. Check references in your area

Ask for 3+ references from Salt Lake City projects similar to yours. Call them.
