3. Let me ask you a question—what’s your biggest fear when you take on a new AV company? Not
the budget—surely that’s negotiable. Not the quality— after all, it’s all much of a muchness these
Mirage Audio Visual Ltd
days, right? You’ll have your own personal reasons to agonise over who you take on, but there’s a
PO Box 9742 Newmarket Auckland
good chance this is one of the things you ask yourself: Is something going to go wrong that will
p. 09-580-1904 f. 09-580-2031
stop me from ever being hired to organize this event again?
We understand.
I could knock on about the experience our staff gain working on international concerts, or the
ridiculously huge investment we make in technology to provide the level of complexity and
sophistication expected by today’s conference market, but how does that benefit you?
Well, it means that we can try new things because we know what we’re doing. It’s that simple.
Our staff really know what they’re doing. We’re a small team, and we don’t manufacture clones
in black shirts in a small room out the back—we hire the best, and they stay with us, because it’s
fun working for happy clients and finding new, creative ways to enhance events with our
technology. It’s what we love. It’s what we do.
We don’t have a huge marketing budget to tell you how great we are, but we do have loyal clients
who are happy to do it for us. If you’re looking at working with us, check out our testimonials, or
give our clients a call. Then give us a call. We’d love to hear from you.

4. Increase sales
Mirage Audio Visual Ltd
PO Box 9742 Newmarket Auckland We offer creative audio visual solutions to keep your events fresh and entertaining, as well as
p. 09-580-1904 f. 09-580-2031 informative. An engaged audience is much more likely to enjoy themselves and return the
following year. It’s hard to genuinely impress conference goers, but if you manage it, you know
they’re going to encourage their friends and industry colleagues to attend with them, which
will boost your sales without any additional promotional spend on your part.
Protect your brand
Working with us for the first time? We work with some of the largest international brands and
names in the entertainment world, so we understand how important it is that nothing goes
wrong, that your event looks professional, and your speakers are treated with warmth and
respect.
Improve your experience
We’re friendly, we know what we’re doing and we’re a small team, so most of our clients get to
know their technicians well. When you work with people (not just a company) that you know
and trust, you’ll find it’s a far more relaxed and enjoyable experience.

5. A process you’re familiar with.
Working with Mirage.
Once we have a clear brief, we start the design process. If it’s straightforward, you’ll receive a
proposal within 24 hours for your approval, with a breakdown of equipment, all information
relating to dates, time, venue and rooms, and of course a clear outline of associated charges.
If the solution doesn’t meet your budget, we’ll design one that will.
A creative masterpiece may take a little longer, but we’ll keep you informed every step of the
way, so you’ll never be left wondering when the paperwork will arrive.
The only thing you have to worry about is approving the final design over a coffee (which,
incidentally, is on us).

6. ‘Ideas in motion’ is more than just a tagline. We use it to express two concepts that are core to
What does our tagline really what we do.
mean?
1. The role of audio visual technology has never been more crucial to the event industry
than it is today. Finding imaginative, attention-grabbing ways to present on-screen
content demands a fluidity of design, a continual evolution and flow of ideas.
2. One of our passions is designing on-screen graphics that engage and invigorate. This
animated content is also known as ‘motion graphics’, leading us to incorporate this idea
into our branding.
Together, these two ideas have been amalgamated into the tagline ’Ideas in Motion’ .
6
7. While an event’s audio visual
requirements may be minimal,
we can ensure that the
equipment is installed correctly
and on time.
We provide ourselves on
providing all requirements for
our clients, both large and
small, with the same
professional attitude and
dedication to service.
7
8. Using software, media can be
created to play as a single
image across multiple screens.
This creates enormous
flexibility when designing the
look of an event’s AV.
Rather than using standard
backdrops, a more ‘industrial’
look has been created using truss
for this truck launch.

9. Mirage offers a wide range of
projection services, from small
single-screen setups through to
concert projection.
Multiple ‘windows’ opened for video playback Widescreen show, floor to ceiling
Outdoor projection (buildings can also be mapped Concert Projection—Vector Arena (Billy Joel)
and media fitted to the shape or outline)

10. We use 3D imaging software to
create striking on-screen
graphics, as well as to trial new
show concepts.

3D room visualisation

11. We use lighting to enhance a
room’s ambience, utilizing
static or intelligent (moving or
colour-changing) lights as
appropriate for the occasion
and venue.

Static uplights used to highlight architecture Split colour room wash in low-ceilinged room

12. Sometimes referred to as
‘IMAG’, or Image
Magnification, filming an image
of the presenter as they speak
and displaying it on screen is a
great way of keeping audiences
involved in what’s happening
on stage.
In addition to projection services,
we also supply a range of camera
and switching equipment to the
concert and touring industry, as for
the Red Hot Chili Peppers when they
visited Vector Arena.
12
13. With the ability to provide
audio to audiences of up to
5,000 people, Mirage can
supply systems for almost
every type of venue, from
conference rooms through to
stadiums.
13
14. In larger venues, truss is hung
in the roof to support lighting
and audio systems so that they
can cover the whole room.
When the truss is lit, this
becomes part of the room look.
Sometimes truss systems are used on
the ground to frame a stage, or on
stage as part of the set, as shown
here at the AFTA awards at the Aotea
Centre.
14
15. We work in all venues, and are
very familiar with the larger
hotels and conference centres
in Auckland where we
frequently work.
We are also the preferred
supplier to the ASB
Showgrounds, Mt Smart and The Langham is ideal for widescreen projection The Town Hall looks very effective when lit

17. I would like to thank you and your team for all your help and effort that went in to the Halberg
Awards on Sunday. The screens looked fantastic and your dedication to the job was superb.
Carla Lochmann, TVNZ
Everything flowed smoothly and seamlessly as always. We always enjoy working with you, and
value your drama-free approach to the task.
Peter Wilkins, Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand
The staff went out of their way to accommodate all my requests… everything ran like clockwork
and I was very impressed with their professionalism.
Rouxelle de Villiers, BiQ
Mirage provides state of the art technology at the most competitive price in the market place.
Based on this, we now refer all our major corporate partners to Mirage for their AV requirements.
