Behind the Scenes: What’s in an AV Equipment Case?

Ever wonder what powers a flawless live event? Go behind the scenes with Stamm Media to see what’s inside a pro AV equipment case—and how it all comes together on show day.

 

You’ve seen the show—crystal-clear audio, sharp video, seamless transitions, immersive lighting. But what makes all that possible? You might be surprised to learn it all starts in a few rugged, black cases.

 

At Stamm Media, our AV gear cases aren’t just containers—they’re carefully packed command centers, custom-built for the road, and loaded with the tools it takes to bring big ideas to life.

 

Let’s pop one open and take a look

 


1. Video Playback & Control Systems

 

What’s inside:

  • Laptops or media servers preloaded with your content
  • HDMI/SDI converters
  • Backup drives (because redundancy = reliability)
  • Playback Pro or Resolume setups for live control

 

Why it matters:This is the brain of your visual experience—cueing up your keynote videos, graphics, and animations with frame-perfect precision.

 


2. Audio Essentials

 

What’s inside:

  • Wireless mics (handhelds, lavaliers, headsets)
  • Audio mixers
  • DI boxes for plugging in laptops or instruments
  • Signal testers

 

Why it matters:From panel discussions to product intros, clean audio is non-negotiable. These tools help make sure every word lands crystal clear.

 


3. Show Control & Switching

 

What’s inside:

  • Video switchers (like Roland, Blackmagic ATEM, or Barco units)
  • Cueing systems
  • Confidence monitors and timers
  • Signal routers

 

Why it matters:When your presenter says “next slide,” we’ve already got it on screen. This gear keeps everything flowing—and gives us live flexibility to adapt.

 


4. Networking & Connectivity

 

What’s inside:

  • Routers & access points
  • Fiber converters
  • Ethernet snakes
  • Network switches with VLAN tagging

 

Why it matters:Modern shows rely on a reliable, fast network. This gear keeps your devices—and your audience—connected.

 


5. Power & Backup Gear

 

What’s inside:

  • Power distribution units (PDUs)
  • Battery backups / UPS
  • Extension cables (labeled and organized)
  • Extra adapters (you’d be shocked how often these save the day)

 

Why it matters:Everything depends on steady, clean power. If something goes out, we’ve got instant backups ready to go.

 


Bonus: Tools, Tape & Tech Magic

 

What’s always in the case:

  • Gaffer’s tape in five colors
  • Zip ties, velcro, multimeters, and Sharpies
  • Flashlights and safety gear
  • Snacks (because, priorities)

Every seamless AV moment you experience at a trade show, conference, or live event started here—in a case packed by a crew who thinks 12 steps ahead.
