AV Specification for Public Tenders
How to write a technical specification that is clear, fair and installation-ready.
Overview
How to write a technical specification that is clear, fair and installation-ready.
This article is written for architects, venue owners, integrators and project managers who need to understand the technical logic before ordering equipment or installation.
Key engineering points
A successful venue system starts with input data and calculation. The designer should understand the geometry, use scenarios, acoustic behaviour, maintenance requirements and the way personnel will operate the system every day.
- do not select equipment only by power rating
- check audience coverage and intelligibility
- coordinate with architecture and electrical infrastructure
- plan commissioning before installation starts
Practical checklist
Use this checklist before requesting a proposal or launching procurement.
- venue drawings and sections
- audience capacity and seating plan
- system use scenarios and content types
- photos of ceiling, stage, walls and control position
- budget frame and project deadline

Describe the venue, attach drawings by email and tell us which systems are required. We will prepare the next step for acoustic calculation, specification or turnkey integration.
