FAQ's and Full Scale Event AV Technical Support Solutions

Best Audio Visual Services in Toronto, GTHA and Ontario

Do We Provide Delivery, Set-Up and Onsite Technical Support?

Yes, CBS Audio Visual Services removes the barrier for clients forced to pay expensive in-house Audio Video patch fees by providing full Audio Video and lighting gear that works as an independent ecosystem from the in-house Sound and Audio equipment. We provide 2 effective solutions below based on your unique requirements:

1) Delivery, set-up, testing and post-event dismantling if you do not require on-site technical support

2) Full-spectrum Audio Visual Solutions for mission-focused events with stakeholders focused on the best outcome and ROI

 

How Do I Negotiate to bring in CBS Audio Visual Services as my preferred vendor? 

​

Below is a Venue Negotiation Toolkit you can try to use:

 

1. The "Right to External Selection" Clause

The most important step is ensuring you or the client you represent has the right to choose their partner without being penalized.

  • The Point: Establish that the venue is a facility provider, not a production manager.

  • Negotiation Phrase: "We reserve the right to utilize CBS Audio Visual Services as our production partner. Any language requiring us to use the 'preferred' vendor for equipment or labor must be struck from the agreement."

2. Eliminating "Shadow Labor" or Liaison Fees

Venues often try to charge for an in-house "Shadow Technician" to "monitor" the outside vendor.

  • The Point: CBS is a full-service, asset-based company with its own qualified technicians.

  • Negotiation Phrase: "Our production partner, CBS, is a self-contained, full-service entity. We will not pay for 'supervisory' or 'liaison' labor from the in-house provider as CBS provides its own onsite project management."

3. Waiving the "Patch-In" Fee (The CBS Advantage)

Since you bring your own sound and video assets, you don't need their infrastructure.

  • The Point: Why pay for a connection you aren't using?

  • Negotiation Phrase: "We will not be utilizing the venue's built-in sound, video, or rigging points. Therefore, all 'patch fees,' 'hook-up charges,' or 'infrastructure access fees' shall be waived in full."

4. Load-In and Loading Dock Access

In-house vendors sometimes try to block dock access or charge "handling fees" for outside gear.

  • The Point: Secure equal access to the facility.

  • Negotiation Phrase: "The client and their chosen vendor (CBS) shall have complimentary, unobstructed access to the loading dock and freight elevators during the contracted load-in/load-out window. No 'drayage' or 'handling fees' will apply."

5. WiFi and Power Transparency

Venues often hide AV costs in the "Internet" or "Dedicated Power" line items.

  • The Point: Get a flat rate for utilities that isn't tied to the AV provider.

  • Negotiation Phrase: "Power and internet requirements are to be billed at standard facility rates and will not be subject to surcharges or 'management fees' imposed by the in-house AV provider."
