Audio visual equipment can be extremely costly to purchase and maintain, but there are great advantages and benefits to having your own to use as and when you please. With your own equipment comes the responsibility of maintaining and servicing it to make sure that it works properly and lasts as long as it should. Just like a car, audio visual equipment has to be maintained and serviced routinely.
Good sound equipment will cost you thousands of Rands. Considering the current economic climate and the price you will be paying for your equipment, you would not want just about any novice handyman or technician fidgeting with your audio visual equipment.
Allowing your AV equipment to be serviced by anyone other than the professionals puts your equipment at risk. The unqualified technician might charge you less for the service, but more often than not it ends up costing you more money in the long run. You might find that the condition of your audio visual equipment worsens in the long run because the person who tried repairing or servicing it did not have the full expertise needed to properly service audio visual equipment. In some more extreme cases, when you eventually take your equipment to a professional the damage is already imminent and it costs you a lot more to repair the damage. This can be avoided by simply taking your equipment to professionals like AV Aids and Visuals from the get-go.
