Frequently asked questions
What does an AV consultant do for entertainment venues?An AV consultant assesses your venue's audio-visual needs and designs a system that fits how the space actually works — sound zones, screen placement, lighting control, karaoke integration, the lot. At Tom Duffy Tech Design, consultancy includes the full project plan: equipment specification, vendor coordination, installation supervision, testing, and handover. You get one point of contact from first assessment to final sign-off.
How much does AV consultancy cost?Cost depends on your venue size, the scope of the installation, and the number of audio and video zones required. Because every venue is different, we scope the work after an initial assessment and give you a fixed quote before anything starts. Consultancy is priced as a project, not an hourly rate — so you know the full cost up front.
What's included in your AV consultancy service?Technical consultancy, complete project management, and access to our job management portal. That means system design, equipment recommendations, vendor coordination, timeline and budget tracking, installation supervision, compliance documentation, testing, commissioning, and staff handover training. You also get real-time project status updates and document sharing through the portal.
Do you work with multi-site venue groups?Yes. We regularly design and manage AV rollouts for pub and leisure groups with multiple sites. The same project management structure scales from a single venue to a group-wide upgrade — one coordinator, consistent specifications across sites, and consolidated reporting. PriorityLink support is available to keep every site running after launch.
Are you vendor-neutral?Yes — completely. We don't push a preferred brand or manufacturer. Every system we design is based on what's right for your venue, not what's most profitable for us. We have relationships with JBL, Samsung, Yamaha, Martin Audio, Pioneer, LG, and others, but the recommendation is always driven by your requirements and budget.
What areas do you cover?We're based in West Yorkshire and cover Yorkshire, Lancashire, Teesside, Cumbria, and North East England — including Leeds, Sheffield, York, Bradford, Manchester, Preston, Newcastle, and Sunderland. For larger multi-site projects, we travel further on request.
How long does an AV installation project take?It depends on scope. A single-site sound system upgrade can take a few days; a full multi-zone refurbishment typically runs one to two weeks from installation start to handover. We build the timeline into your project plan and schedule work around your trading hours to minimise downtime. The Vesta Tilly's 5-day mini refurbishment is a good example of what's possible.
Can you upgrade an existing AV system without replacing everything?Yes. We assess what you already have and recommend what to keep, repair, or replace. Often a venue doesn't need a full rip-out — targeted upgrades to amplification, speakers, or control systems can transform performance at a fraction of the cost. We'll always tell you straight if existing kit is worth keeping.
