Tarbet recounts one of the success stories wherein Ridge AV designed a world-class audiovisual system for a church. As an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the church wanted to conduct an online event with high-quality content and reach out to a bigger audience, they approached Ridge AV. Tarbet’s team then designed and installed a broadcast-grade production system that the church used to stay connected to its members during the lock-down. Evidently enough, the online audience grew by 350 percent, thus retaining old viewers and attracting new ones in the process.

Looking toward the future, Ridge AV plans to tap into the evolving technology and innovations to empower users with more tools at lower costs. The company also wants to leverage the ever-expanding opportunities in the church and education sector and grow the business by acquiring more clients.
