What could potentially hinder modern AV technology in historical buildings?

The potential hindrance of modern AV technology in historical buildings primarily stems from restrictions due to historical preservation. These buildings often have specific regulations that protect their architectural integrity and historical significance. Any installation or integration of AV technology must comply with these regulations to avoid damaging the structure or altering its appearance. This can limit the types of equipment that can be used, the locations where AV systems can be installed, and the methods of installation, making it challenging to integrate advanced technology while adhering to preservation guidelines.

In contrast, while overwhelming technology options, lack of user training, and high installation costs can present challenges in general AV projects, they may not be as uniquely restrictive in the context of historical buildings as the preservation regulations are. Therefore, the preservation aspects are the most significant roadblock for the effective implementation of modern AV systems in these settings.
