A Plus Audio Video

What A Plus Audio Video does

A Plus Audio Visual is a privately held event production equipment rental company founded in 2006 and headquartered at 30 Longfellow Rd, Shelton, Connecticut. The company rents professional audio, video, lighting, and staging gear to event organizers across Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts, operating with 1–10 employees from a single regional depot. Its portfolio spans seven service categories: drive-in theater rentals (16–40 ft inflatable or truss-frame screens with cinema projectors), projector and screen packages (3,200–10,000 lumen projectors paired with tripod, pull-up, fast-fold, and rear-projection screens), LED video walls and TV monitor rentals (55–85 inch monitors and 10x6.5–12x6.5 ft LED walls), event lighting (moving heads, uplights, ellipsoidals, pars, FX lighting), speaker rentals scaled for audiences from 25 to 5,000+, DJ equipment and lighting (Pioneer CDJ Nexus 2000, DJM 900 mixer, facades, truss), and staging, risers, and barricades. Equipment is industry-standard professional grade, and the company provides delivery, setup, on-site technical support, and pickup as part of the rental.

The business model is purely transactional equipment rental on a per-event basis, with published line-item pricing ranging from $175 (single lighting tripod) to $8,000 (large indoor concert with video wall) and several configurations priced on contact. The company offers special pricing for educational institutions and non-profits, suggesting a willingness to flex pricing by customer segment. Go-to-market is sales-led: customers engage via phone, email, and website contact forms, supplemented by SEO-optimized location pages for eight Connecticut cities (Bridgeport, Hartford, Fairfield, Greenwich, Danbury, Norwalk, Waterbury, New Haven), an educational blog, and a Facebook social presence. Same-day and next-day delivery is offered across the service area.

The customer base is explicitly diversified across educational institutions (schools, universities), corporate events, concerts and festivals, weddings and private events, houses of worship and community centers, and municipal/government events. No named enterprise customers, master service agreements, or institutional investors are disclosed. There are no patents, trademarks, regulatory actions, certifications, awards, or named management team members on record, which limits the ability to assess governance, brand protection, and execution risk beyond what the website and pricing surface reveal.
