Know what you’re asking for
You don’t need the jargon to rent AV in Orlando, but a few words make it much easier to ask for what your event needs. Here’s what each piece is and when you’d want it. Whatever you pick, our crew delivers it, sets it up, and runs it.
ScreensProjector
Throws the image onto a screen. Brightness is measured in lumens, and the light in your room decides how many you need.
Ask for it when: Slides and video in rooms you can dim, or where a flat-panel display would be too small for the back row.
ScreensFast-fold screen
A framed projection screen assembled on site, finished with a skirt and drape so it looks built in.
Ask for it when: General sessions and ballrooms, where the screen has to be big and look like part of the stage.
ScreensTripod screen
A pull-up screen on a folding stand that sets up in minutes.
Ask for it when: Breakouts and small meetings, where everyone sits within a few rows of it.
ScreensFlat-panel display
A large TV on a floor stand, fed from a laptop or from the main show.
Ask for it when: Breakouts, registration, lobbies, and sponsor loops — anywhere a projector would be overkill.
PresenterConfidence monitor
A screen on the stage floor facing the presenter, showing their slides, notes, or a countdown.
Ask for it when: Any keynote or panel. It keeps presenters facing the audience instead of turning to read the screen behind them.
PresenterLectern & gooseneck mic
A podium with a slim microphone on a flexible arm, usually with a small light for notes.
Ask for it when: Keynotes, awards, and formal remarks — whenever speakers read from notes.
PresenterSpeaker timer
A countdown clock facing the stage, run from the tech table.
Ask for it when: Tight agendas with many speakers. It keeps sessions on schedule without anyone waving from the back of the room.
PresenterPresentation clicker
A wireless remote that advances slides, with the range to cover the whole stage.
Ask for it when: Every presenter with slides. We test it from where they’ll actually stand.
AudioHandheld wireless mic
The classic microphone, with no cable.
Ask for it when: Emcees, toasts, audience Q&A, and anyone who’ll pass the mic along.
AudioLavalier (lav) mic
A small clip-on mic wired to a pack worn on the belt.
Ask for it when: Presenters who walk the stage or need their hands free.
AudioHeadset mic
A thin mic that runs along the cheek, close to the mouth.
Ask for it when: Energetic presenters and loud rooms. It stays the same distance from the mouth when they turn their head.
AudioSpeakers on stands
Self-powered speakers raised on tripods at the front of the room.
Ask for it when: Speech-first rooms of up to about 150 people. Bigger rooms need more coverage, not just more volume.
AudioMixing console
The desk where every mic and playback source is balanced into one clean mix.
Ask for it when: Any event with more than one mic. It’s how the engineer keeps voices clear and feedback away.
VideoPresentation switcher
A device that cuts cleanly between laptops, slides, video, and cameras.
Ask for it when: Any show with more than one laptop, or a mix of slides and video. The screen never shows a desktop or a frozen frame.
PowerPower distribution
Portable panels that take power from the venue or a generator and split it safely across every system.
Ask for it when: Any show with more than a few devices. It keeps audio, video, and lighting off a shared circuit that could trip.
