​

What to expect from AV production with LSS Live

​

1. Initial conversation and brief

The process typically starts with a conversation around your event format, audience numbers, venue details, and creative objectives. At this stage, LSS Live will discuss how AV production, sound, lighting, staging, and power can work together to achieve the outcome you need.

 

Where appropriate, an engineer-led site recce can be arranged to review access, power availability, rigging options, and audience layout. This helps shape a realistic technical plan and budget.

​

2. Technical design and specification

The team then develops a technical concept and outline specification, which may include:

 

• Audio system design using line array systems and suitable sound systems for hire

• Lighting looks and cueing to support key show moments

• Stage layouts using appropriate stage hire solutions

• AV elements such as projection, video playback, and show control

• Power distribution and infrastructure for all departments

 

Where needed, LSS Live’s engineers can prepare RAMS and technical documentation to support venue and stakeholder approvals.

​

3. Pre-production and scheduling

Once the specification is confirmed, the project moves into pre-production. This can include:

 

• Detailed show schedules and build/de-rig timelines

• Coordination with venues, promoters, and other suppliers

• Refinement of cueing, playback, and show flows

• Integration of AV content (presentations, video assets, brand visuals)

 

LSS Live’s experienced engineering and technical teams focus on efficient scheduling so AV production ties in smoothly with staging, sound, and lighting installation.

​

4. On-site build and technical rehearsal

On site, LSS Live’s expert engineers and technical crew manage the full build across AV, sound, lighting, staging, and power. Typical on-site responsibilities include:

 

• Leading site recces and overseeing temporary works

• Managing load-in, rigging, and equipment deployment

• Overseeing ballast and structural considerations for staging and roofs where relevant

• System alignment and tuning so audio and visuals perform consistently across the space

• Running technical rehearsals to refine cues and transitions

 

A competent engineer is present to manage inspections and sign-off, helping to ensure compliant, safe operation before the audience arrives.

​

5. Show operation and de-rig

During live operation, LSS Live provides experienced operators for sound, lighting, and AV control, along with stage and systems technicians as required. After the event, the team manages a controlled de-rig and load-out to return the venue to its agreed condition.

​

Safety, engineering oversight, and compliance

For AV production to run smoothly, safety and engineering oversight are central. LSS Live’s expert engineers provide qualified technical leadership throughout planning and delivery, with responsibilities that typically include:

 

• Conducting site recces to assess access, ground conditions, and rigging options

• Producing RAMS tailored to each event and venue

• Overseeing temporary works and ballast where staging and roofs are involved

• Coordinating with venues, contractors, and stakeholders on compliance

• Managing inspections and sign-off for staging and technical infrastructure

 

This engineering-led approach reduces risk, supports compliance with relevant regulations, and helps keep builds on schedule. For complex festivals, touring productions, and large-scale public events, this level of oversight is particularly valuable.

​

AV production for different event types

LSS Live’s AV production capability supports a wide range of formats, including:

 

• Corporate events, conferences, and award ceremonies

• Exhibitions and brand activations, working alongside dedicated exhibition production

• Festivals and outdoor concerts, with integrated sound, lighting, and event stages

• Touring productions, where consistent AV production is required night after night

• Community events and large-scale public occasions

 

AV production can incorporate elements such as projection, show relay, and video playback, and can be designed to complement features like LED screens and modern stage designs where these are part of the overall production brief.
