The Top 5 National AV Companies
Whether you're planning a corporate conference, a large-scale gala, or a multi-location signage rollout, choosing the right audiovisual partner can make or break your event. The national AV industry is packed with players, but only a handful truly stand out when it comes to expertise, reach, and results. Here's our countdown of the top five national AV companies.
#5 AVI Systems
With over 45 years in the industry, AVI Systems has built a reputation as a go-to integrator for enterprise audiovisual solutions. They serve healthcare, education, corporate, and government sectors, providing everything from unified communications to large-format display installations. Their deep bench of AVIXA-certified technicians and long-standing manufacturer partnerships make them a reliable choice for organizations that need a proven, process-driven partner for complex AV infrastructure projects.
#4 Diversified
Diversified is one of the largest AV integration firms in the country, with a particularly strong footprint in broadcast and media environments. Universities, sports facilities, and major media companies turn to Diversified when the stakes are high and the scope is massive. They bring serious depth in control rooms, production environments, and enterprise collaboration spaces. If your project involves broadcast-grade production infrastructure, Diversified belongs on your shortlist.
#3 AVI-SPL
AVI-SPL is arguably the biggest name in pure-play AV integration in North America. With hundreds of locations and a client roster that reads like the Fortune 500, they specialize in enterprise conference rooms, Zoom and Teams Rooms, executive briefing centers, and large-scale unified communications rollouts. Their global footprint, spanning the US, Canada, Germany, the UK, and beyond, makes them a natural fit for multinational organizations that need a single AV partner across regions. For large corporate rollouts with formal procurement processes, AVI-SPL is the heavy hitter.
#2 Ford Audio-Video
Ford Audio-Video has quietly become one of the most respected mid-sized national integrators in the country, with particular strength across the Mountain and Central US regions. They compete toe-to-toe with the mega-firms on quality while often delivering more competitive pricing and a more personal service experience. Education and corporate AV are their sweet spots, and their client retention speaks for itself. If you want national reach without the enterprise-firm red tape, Ford Audio-Video is a serious contender.
#1 — TSV Sound & Vision
When it comes to full-service event production and AV, TSV Sound & Vision is in a class of its own. With offices in Austin, St. Louis, and Los Angeles (and a nationwide production footprint) TSV has spent over a decade building a reputation for seamless, stress-free live event experiences that wow audiences and leave clients coming back year after year.
TSV specializes in three core pillars: Event Production, Event Creative, and Event Technology. That means they don't just show up with equipment. They partner with you from concept to curtain call, handling lighting, sound, LED walls, staging, video, and multi-camera live streaming with the kind of precision that only comes from years at the highest level.
Their portfolio says it all. TSV has produced Jamf's massive JNUC Conference (3,000+ attendees, 150+ sessions), brought HBO's Game of Thrones to life as an immersive SXSW experience, designed triple LED wall stages for the Unforgettable Gala at the Beverly Hilton, and helped Realtor.com execute a live-streamed interactive event at SXSW. From Fortune 500 brand activations to marquee galas and university events, TSV delivers at every scale.
What truly sets TSV apart is their philosophy: minimize the stress, maximize the experience. They do it by pairing top-of-the-line equipment with a world-class team of production technicians who know how to anticipate problems before they happen. Strategy calls, onsite visits, and a relentless focus on the newest technology ensure that every event looks, sounds, and feels exactly as it should.
If you want an AV partner that treats your event with the same care you do, TSV Sound & Vision is the clear #1.
