Tariffs are changing the AV game
/ / / What Tariffs Mean for AV Projects (And How Our Transparency Sets Us Apart)
If you’ve seen the recent headlines about new tariffs on imported goods, you might wonder: Will this affect our AV project? The short answer is: potentially, but you’ll never be caught off guard with us.
At Avenue Systems, we believe great AV design starts with excellent communication. That’s why we’ve built transparency into everything we do—from pricing and timelines to procurement and vendor relationships. And it’s never been more critical than right now.
/ / / What’s Going on with Tariffs?
Recent tariff adjustments on goods from key manufacturing regions (especially in Asia and Europe) are starting to impact AV equipment, particularly items like processors, LED walls, touch panels, and power distribution hardware.
Here’s what that can mean for your project:
Sudden price increases from manufacturers
Longer lead times for specific products
Budget adjustments mid-project
But here’s the thing: this isn’t news to us. We’ve been tracking these trends and planning ahead.
/ / / Our Response: Proactive, Strategic, and Fully Transparent
We’ve implemented a range of strategies to minimize the impact on your project, including:
✅ Pre-purchasing and forecasting for at-risk products
✅ Switching to tariff-stable and domestic suppliers
✅ Value engineering designs without compromising quality
✅ Ongoing updates through project dashboards, so you always know where things stand
✅ Clear communication about any shifts in scope or pricing—before they become issues
While other integrators may pass along surprise costs, our philosophy is simple: no surprises, ever!
/ / / What Does This Mean for You?
Whether you’re planning a new facility or upgrading your current space, we’re committed to protecting your vision and your budget. That means:
Helping you select equipment that avoids tariff exposure
Being honest about availability and lead times from day one
Offering flexible design options that adapt to changing market conditions
Keeping you in the loop, every step of the way
/ / / Why Transparency Matters More than Ever
In a changing economic landscape, transparency isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential. When you're investing in a worship space, performance venue, or corporate AV infrastructure, you deserve a partner who will deliver not just technology but also clarity, accountability, and trust.
At Avenue Systems, we believe an informed client is an empowered partner. We’re proud to be the team that communicates what others won’t.
