Planning an Event

Planning a live event — whether it’s a corporate conference, gala, hybrid meeting, or concert — takes more than just ordering gear. It demands foresight, precision, and a partner who understands how every detail impacts showtime.

At Eagle AV, we don't just supply equipment — we help you engineer success from the very first planning call.

Here’s how we make sure your event is built to shine:


1. Understanding Your Venue and Technical Needs

Every venue is different — and small details can create big challenges if overlooked.

We help you assess:

  • Room acoustics (echo, absorption, reflection points)

  • Ceiling height and rigging availability

  • Power access and load-in logistics

  • Lighting conditions (natural light, house lights, blackout needs)

  • Wi-Fi/internet quality for livestreams or hybrid setups

  • Emergency exits, sightlines, and safety compliance

Bonus: We'll advise if your venue needs supplemental equipment like drape, ground-support truss, or generator backup for outdoor events.


2. Recommending the Right Gear — Not Just Any Gear

Renting too much equipment is wasteful. Renting the wrong equipment is disastrous.

Our team helps you select:

  • Audio systems sized for room dimensions and crowd size

  • Projection or LED walls based on viewing distance and brightness

  • Wireless mic solutions tailored to your speaker and panel formats

  • Lighting systems for stage wash, decor, or video recording

  • Video switchers, cameras, and livestream kits for broadcast needs

  • Power distribution based on the demands of all show elements

✅ We customize rental packages so that every component plays its part — and nothing’s left to chance.


3. Planning for Redundancy and Real-World Surprises

At Eagle, we believe backup isn’t optional — it’s standard.

We help you prepare:

  • Backup microphones (wireless and wired)

  • Spare cables and adapters for every critical path

  • Redundant playback systems (so your walk-on music or video intros never fail)

  • UPS units and clean power backup to protect digital consoles and streaming gear

Pro Tip: We’ll also flag anything high-risk based on your event schedule (tight speaker changeovers, multiple breakout rooms, hybrid remote feeds).


4. Pre-Production: Diagrams, Road Cases, and Pre-Rigs

Preparation doesn’t happen at the loading dock — it happens weeks before.

We offer:

  • Site drawings and CAD layouts for rigging, audio, and lighting zones

  • Custom rack and truss pre-rigging (saving hours on-site)

  • Detailed cable labeling and road case organization

  • Pre-tested systems so that everything arrives show-ready

Fun Fact: Most of our cases are custom-built to protect your gear and ensure lightning-fast setups.


5. Tech Coordination and Load-In Management

Events succeed when all vendors work as one.

We help by:

  • Reviewing load-in schedules with venues

  • Coordinating power, internet, and dock access needs

  • Syncing your AV plans with decor, catering, and staging crews

  • Providing detailed crew instructions and run-of-show guidance

✅ We can even assign a point person from Eagle to liaise directly with your production manager.


Why Planning with Eagle Makes the Difference

Other rental houses hand you a pile of gear.
