Audiovisual Design & Installation – 80-Person Multifunctional Event Space
The existing AV infrastructure was outdated, relying on analogue systems that no longer met modern requirements. Integration with a livestreaming setup was not possible due to mismatched resolutions and the difficulty in interfacing. The legacy control system was both inefficient and expensive to reprogram. Additionally, the video projector had failed and was beyond economical repair, while the existing radio microphone system had become unusable due to changes in the 700MHz frequency spectrum allocation.
A complete system upgrade was implemented to modernise the space while maintaining cost efficiency where possible:
The result is a modern, flexible event space capable of hosting live events, meetings, and livestreamed productions.
Users can easily connect via HDMI for seamless presentations, supported by bright, high-quality projection and clear audio.
The intuitive control system simplifies operation, while integrated livestreaming capabilities expand the room’s functionality. The system was also configured to link with an adjoining space, enabling shared audio and visual content across both areas, enhancing versatility and audience reach.
