When an AV installation is done right, it can transform a space. When it is done poorly it also transforms a space, but in an unfortunate way. Failure is a part of any industry, but within A/V, errors are glaring.

From simple mechanical failure to some head-scratching design decisions, we have all seen some installations that just were not right.

Today we look at some of AV’s most interesting end products. You be the judge!
