System Tune-Up

Are you getting the best from your home cinema or hi-fi system? It’s not a question we generally ask ourselves, we usually think that buying a new and sometimes expensive piece of kit will automatically enhance our system and that it’ll be performing at its best out of the box. This however is not the case.

Looking at the system as a whole there are many factors that can influence the quality and performance of your kit and the end product that you eventually experience. At Aperio Audio Visual we have years of experience with all manner of hi-fi and home cinema and have found that almost all systems we encounter benefit hugely from a thorough and correct set-up process and simple upgrades.

This process has two great benefits;

  • Your system ends up sounding and providing the best video it can thereby negating the cost of a potentially expensive new TV, speakers, amp etc.
  • Because your system is optimised any new piece of kit bought in the future will be able to perform at its full potential and you’ll be able to tell if it’s worth the upgrade

There are many factors that can influence the performance of your AV equipment;

  • Poor initial set-up of equipment, especially on AV equipment. Blu-ray players, AV amp set-up menus etc.
  • How the room affects audio and video
  • Inferior quality of cabling
  • RF influence, especially over cables
  • Mains noise and poor mains supply to the equipment
  • TV / Projector video calibration

Consultation or system tune-ups are charged very reasonably on an hourly basis. During this process, we can highlight, explain and address issues with the system and then advise of potential upgrades. There can be a bit of perceived smoke and mirrors with cable upgrades and contrary to popular belief paying more for an expensive cable doesn’t always produce the best results. The right cable in the right place in the system can transform it dramatically.

Our philosophy at Aperio Audio Visual is if you can’t hear or see a difference, don’t buy it!
