FAQ's

What is the best video conferencing setup for offices?

The best setup combines a high-resolution camera, professional microphones, speakers, and a reliable control system. 3 Monkeys AV supplies and installs Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, BYOD Solutions and custom solutions for smooth hybrid meetings. We only use the top tier brands to ensure our clients have a reliable system, brands include Yealink, Logitech, Crestron, Poly and More.

What is a Microsoft Teams Room system?

A Microsoft Teams Room system is a bundled hardware and software solution designed to transform meeting spaces into collaborative environments using Microsoft Teams, offering features like high-definition video/audio, content sharing, and one-touch meeting join. Both Logitech and Yealink provide certified Teams Room packages for spaces ranging from huddle rooms to large conference areas.

What do I need to create a Microsoft Teams Meeting Room with Logitech or Yealink?

To set up a modern Microsoft Teams Room using Logitech or Yealink equipment, select a certified room kit or bar system designed for the room size and type. Most Android-based solutions (like Logitech Rally Bar or Yealink MeetingBar) have the compute module built in, allowing quick setup with just power, network, and display connections. For Teams Rooms on Windows, choose a system with an included or separate Windows mini-PC, along with a touch console, camera, microphone, speakers, and a standard HDMI or USB connection to your screen.

3 Monkeys recommends, supplies, and installs solutions tailored for individual space and user needs, handling both Android and Windows rooms.

Important: A Microsoft Teams Room license must be purchased separately for each meeting room system.

What’s the difference between a Microsoft Teams Room(Appliance Room), and BYOD Room, and can you have both?

A Teams Room or Appliance Room uses dedicated Teams hardware for seamless, one-touch meetings and managed experiences, these rooms have a dedicated MS Teams Room Licence, while a BYOD Room lets you connect your own device to access any video platform that is on your device. Modern setups can combine both, so you can use built-in Teams features or BYOD flexibility, all in one meeting space.

How much does an LED screen cost in Australia?

LED screen pricing depends on size, pixel pitch (resolution), and whether it’s for indoor or outdoor use. As a guide, a 3.5m wide LED screen can start from $25,000+, while larger outdoor weatherproof screens cost more.

What is pixel pitch in LED screens?

Pixel pitch refers to the distance (in millimetres) between the centres of two adjacent pixels on an LED screen. A smaller pixel pitch (e.g., 1.8mm) means higher resolution and sharper images, ideal for close viewing. A larger pixel pitch (e.g., 5mm) is more cost-effective and better suited for outdoor or long-distance viewing. The smaller the pixel pitch the more expensive.

Pixel Pitch Explained:

• P1.9: (Premium Fine Pitch) Best for close seating/viewing distance with high detail video.
• P2.5 (High-Res): Smaller Pixel Pitch is higher resolution & the premium option with sharp detail for closer audiences.
• P3.9 (Balanced): Best value for larger spaces, multipurpose halls, mid-size churches, etc.
• P4.8 (Budget): Larger pitch = lower cost, great for big audiences further away.

How do I choose the right pixel pitch for my LED screen?

The right pixel pitch depends on your viewing distance and budget. For example, indoor LED walls in boardrooms may need 1.5–2.5mm, while outdoor screens viewed from further away may use 4–6mm. At 3 Monkeys AV, we recommend the best option based on your space and usage.

What types of microphones work best for wedding celebrants and do I need one?

For small indoor weddings with fewer than 25 guests, a microphone may not be necessary. However, for most ceremonies, especially with over 25 guests, outdoor settings, or noisy venues, a microphone is highly recommended to ensure everyone can hear clearly.

The most popular microphone options include:

• Wireless lapel (lavalier) microphones: Hands-free, discreet, and allow freedom of movement. Be mindful of clothing rustling noises as this microphone is quite a distance from your mouth it isn’t our recommended choice.
• Headset microphones: Provide consistent audio quality and hands-free use, is better quality then a lapel microphone that doesn’t sit infront of your mouth, although is more visible the a clip on lapel microphone.
• Handheld microphones: Used wirelessly and can be passed between the wedding parties for vows and other speeches.

At 3 Monkeys Audiovisual we have a tailored Mipro Portable PA Package specifically for celebrants, our package includes 2 wireless microphones that are used during the ceremony, having a headset on the celebrant and a handheld microphone for passing between parties during speech.

What Accessories do I need with my Portable PA as a Celebrant?

As well as the wireless headset microphone, wireless handheld microphone, belt pack transmitter, and the built in wireless receivers.
Other accessories that we recommend are a protective speaker cover, a speaker stand, and a summing lead to connect external music from either phones, ipods or laptops.

Speaker stands are a must when conducting a service as an elevated speaker will address a larger group far more effectively than a speaker sitting on the ground. It also means you require less volume.

What is acoustic treatment and why is it important for boardrooms and classrooms?

Acoustic treatment reduces echoes, reverberation, and background noise by using specialized panels and materials. In boardrooms and classrooms, it ensures speech clarity, making conversations, video conferencing, and presentations easier to understand. This improves communication, productivity, and the overall experience for participants.

How does acoustic treatment improve video conferencing and AV installations?

Acoustic treatment enhances microphone and speaker performance by minimizing sound reflections and unwanted noise. This leads to clearer audio during video calls and better sound quality from AV systems. Without treatment, even the best conferencing equipment may sound unclear or distorted due to poor room acoustics.

Can acoustic panels blend into the design of my space?

Yes, modern acoustic panels come in a wide range of colours, shapes, and finishes. They can be mounted on walls or ceiling mounted or even suspended from the ceiling and designed to match or complement the existing décor. Many installations are almost invisible, ensuring your boardroom or classroom looks professional while also sounding its best.

What is a Content Management Software? (Fusion Signage)
