From concerts to sporting events to business meetings, specific equipment is required to ensure that the audience can see and hear what is going on. Audio and video equipment technicians are the experts who set up and run this sophisticated technological equipment. 

They must be conversant with the various components that comprise audio and video systems. They are commonly referred to as AV technicians. Microphones, speakers, TV monitors, and projection screens are just a few examples. Because these systems frequently have intricate wiring and connections, AV technicians must be able to read instructions and technical diagrams. 

It is also necessary to be able to troubleshoot and repair equipment. Sometimes this has to be done while under the pressure of a loving audience who is eagerly awaiting the event to begin. While the majority of jobs are completed indoors, some projects are completed on-site. It is fairly uncommon for AV technicians to work evenings and weekends. They must lift and carry heavy equipment as well as labour in awkward positions. 

While a high school diploma is normally required, this is a job that can be learned on the job from an experienced coworker. Technical schools, as well as community and four-year institutions, offer training in broadcast technology and electronics. Consider a job as an audio and video equipment technician if you have an ear for judging sound quality.
