required to support the audio/video systems, it is the responsibility of the Customer, at
their expense, to provide complete and adequate electrical power.
e. Providing and preparing adequate space for the location of equipment, speakers, speaker
clusters, subwoofer cabinets, distributed under and over balcony speaker systems, stage
monitor systems, equipment racks, control and mixing consoles, video monitors, video
projectors, projection screens, and equipment racks included in system. In the event

H. BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, SYSTEM INSTALLATION, AND RESPONSIBILITIES
EXISTING CONDITIONS:
a. Acoustics and Noise
In facilities where Ford AV is providing a sound or audio system, the Customer is
responsible for providing an environment free of ambient noise and excessive
reverberation and echoes.
1) Typically, ambient noise is created by HVAC systems (Heating, Ventilation, and
Air Conditioning), plumbing or other mechanical systems in the building. In
general, Ford AV recommends that the ambient noise sound pressure level not
exceed NC35 (Noise Criteria) or 35 dB A scale.
2) Long reverberation times and echoes are normally the result of hard wall, floor,
and ceiling surfaces found in some rooms. Typically, Ford AV recommends that
the reverb time does not exceed 1.5 seconds where the primary use is the
communication of speech. The production of other types of music may require
longer reverberation times. In the event that echoes exist, absorptive or diffusive
wall and ceiling panels may be required to eliminate or minimize the detrimental
effects of the echoes.
3) Ford AV is not responsible for any costs related to reducing the ambient noise or
modifying the acoustics of the Customer's facilities.
2. THE CUSTOMER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:
a. The Customer shall have a representative (one person selected by the Customer) available
throughout the installation to make decisions on behalf of the Customer concerning the
installation. The purpose is to ensure that communication between the Customer and Ford
AV is accurate and responsive in the event of questions or problems that may arise during
installation.
b. The Customer shall clear the facility, auditorium, or other rooms involved in the
installation of all activities during the periods of installation. Ford AV will work with the
Customer to schedule the installation. Hours or days of work lost by the installation crew
due to the inability to work as planned will be charged to the Customer based on the extra
labor and expenses required.
C. The Customer shall provide a facility that is prepared for the installation of electronic
equipment. This includes a clean, dust free and air conditioned environment that is
secure and quiet. The customer is responsible for providing a secure job site and for the
cost of loss or damage to audio, video, and lighting equipment delivered by Ford AV to
the job site.
