Core offering

Absolute Audio Visual Solutions supplies AV equipment on hire, designs and installs fixed AV systems, and delivers end-to-end technical event production services to commercial, institutional, education and public-sector clients in the UK. Hire inventory spans audio, visual displays, video, lighting, projection, staging, IT & communications, power, and backline, with installation projects ranging from replacement projector lamps to £800k multi-room AV systems and event production covering conferences, AGMs, awards, exhibitions, product launches and roadshows.

Product overview

Absolute Audio Visual Solutions operates as a single integrated AV solutions company offering three interconnected divisions: AV Equipment Hire (with sub-categories covering audio, visual displays, video, lighting, projection, staging, IT & communications, power, and backline hire), AV Sales & Installation (encompassing system design, equipment supply, installation and programming, training, and care and maintenance), and Technical Event Production (covering end-to-end event production, sets/branding/print, video & content, and venue support). The three divisions share infrastructure and expertise — hire equipment stocks support both dry-hire customers and technical event production engagements, while the sales and installation division provides permanent AV solutions that complement the hire and production services. Key product brands include D&b audio, Yamaha digital mixing, Shure wireless systems, LG OLED displays, Panasonic projectors, and Sennheiser wireless speakers.
