Start with the audience and venue
Viewer distance, coverage, programme, camera use, speech/music balance, ambient light and operating model should drive technology selection.
Specification Records / Global
Specify the venue as one coordinated audience, technology and building interface.
HLJÓÐ projects combine sound, stage, lighting, LED, rigging, control and venue infrastructure. Use this centre to define audience, sightlines, environment, power, structure, acoustics, control and local specialist responsibilities before exact equipment is frozen.

Direct answer
The short version.
For a performance or venue specification, define the venue type, audience, indoor/outdoor environment, sightlines, acoustic objective, screen and stage zones, rigging/structural interfaces, power, control/network requirements, service access, commissioning and local AV/electrical responsibilities before selecting final systems.
Project decision
What matters before product selection.
Use these points to structure the first project conversation. Final suitability stays tied to the actual site, selected system and local project team.
Coordinate structure and services
Rigging, screen supports, speaker loads, power, data, ventilation, access and cable routes must be resolved with the venue rather than after equipment selection.
Keep evidence exact
Photometric, acoustic, IP, EMC, electrical, structural and display-performance evidence must belong to the exact proposed product and configuration.
Separate supply from local integration
Apollo is supply-led. Local installation, electrical work, rigging sign-off, structural engineering, commissioning and statutory approvals remain separately defined unless expressly included.

Frequently asked
Answers without oversimplifying the project.
Can one generic venue specification cover sound, lighting and LED?
No. Each technology has different performance, power, structure, control and evidence requirements, even when coordinated within one project.
Does Apollo provide local AV installation?
Apollo is supply-led. Local installation, electrical work, rigging, commissioning and statutory responsibilities remain with the appointed specialist team unless expressly included.
Where should current venue technical information be checked?
Use the HLJÓÐ technical and specifier pathways plus the Apollo Technical & Specifier Centre for current registered documents and system-specific evidence.
Next step
Turn the research into a real project brief.
Send the site, dimensions, intended use, quantities and known local requirements. Apollo will review the relevant product pathway and keep local engineering, approvals and site-work responsibilities explicit.
