Real-world AV integration concepts, explained by engineers
In professional AV integration, the difference between a system that measures well on paper and one that performs reliably in the real world often comes down to engineering decisions made after the equipment is selected. Beyond the Spec Sheet exists to bridge that gap. Written by Coherent Distribution’s lead engineers, this blog focuses on practical system design principles, common operational mistakes, and proven commissioning techniques—providing clear, experience-based guidance on topics like gain structure, EQ strategy, amplifier behavior, and proper limiter use. The goal is simple: better-performing systems, fewer surprises, and results that hold up long after the install is complete.
