It has been great to install a new sound system into the Stroud. A newly refurbished hotel that was formerly the Imperial. Using Audac ceiling speakers throughout the various rooms we have installed a multi-zone system so they can stream various music sources throughout the different spaces. We have also included remote DJ panels so visiting DJ's can easily connect into the system via Blue Tooth or wired XLR or Minijack. A big thanks to Ross & Sam for the opportunity to work with them and we wish them a busy Christmas and profitable new year! , , .

A busy half term installing a new school PA system into St John's Catholic Primary School in Gravesend. We installed over 60 Audac speakers across all the year group classrooms and offices dividing it into 10 different zones. Complete with Cloud Zoners, Blue Tooth music streaming and two paging mics located in the reception and head's office allows the school to play music and make announcements throughout the entire school. We also installed a programmed chimer to trigger throughout the day to indicate break and lunch times etc.
A big thanks to Shaun, Tony and the rest of the team for allowing us to install this over the half term and we look forward to working with them in the future. , ,

We are very pleased with our latest sound and lighting installation at Mannshead Academy nr Luton. Having updated the drama studio last autumn we were invited back to upgrade the audio and lighting in the main hall. For the sound they wanted to keep their existing active speakers but wanted to replace the amps and be able to use multiple radio mics along with music playback from a laptop via a cable or bluetooth from a tablet or phone. They also wanted to be able to have wired mic connections as well along with being able to use a digital mixer. We installed Audio Technica radio mics c/w aerial distribution along with Audac digital amps and an Allen & Heath SQ6 and AR2412 stage box. We put the stage box in the bottom of the rack and ran all the mics into it. We also included a simple rack mixer so that for day to day use they can use this to control a couple of mics for assemblies and presentations etc and then via a switch they can then opt to use the more powerful digital one for larger performances. For the lighting we replaced all their old generic dimmable lights for full colour mixing Chauvet LED washes and also include moving head fixtures an LED zoom-spots. These are controlled via the Chamsys Quick Q10 lighting desk we we also supplied. The end result is now a fantastic hall performance space that is flexible for a bard range of sound and lighting activities and looks and sounds wonderful. , , , ,

It has been really satisfying to install a new video projection and Martin Audio Sound System into Northleigh Memorial Hall nr Witney. This is a great community hub that was crying out to update it's AV and sound infrastructure so that they could host community cinema nights and also hire the hall out for presentations and conferences. As well as installing a 4.2m wide screen and 6000 lumen laser projector we fitted Martin Audio X12's full range speakers that not only give the films the punch they need but are also great for performing bands and artists.
So the system is truly flexible we included an HDMI switcher so that the system can automatically switch with between DVD or remote laptop input and there is a blue tooth receiver for easy streaming or music form a laptop or phone. Finally we concluded a remote mixer input so that a multichannel desktop mixer can be easily connected and run though the system for when bands mend to be mic'd up and mixed. We were very happy with the out come and a big shout out to Paul Burgum and his team for letting us work late to finish on time. , ,

Over the Autumn half term we were busy installing a new sound and lighting system into the Studio Theatre at Mannshead Academy in Dunstable. The performing arts space didn't have any lighitng bars or sound system and so we installed 4 new bars c/w Chautvet LED wash and moving head lighting along with Optimal Audio Speakers and Chamsys Lighting Desk. The place is now transformed into a wonderful creative teaching and performance space with the teachers being able to control the lighting and sound from apps on their phone or tablet without having to leave the room.

It was great to update the video projector in Gastrells school along with new Optical HDMI cabling so they can now enjoy full HD projection. We also included an audio de-embedder into their sound system so the audio is automatically routed through thte sound system as well as installing a Blue Tooth receiver for playing music from a tablet or phone without the need for cables! We installed their old VGA projector 12 years ago so it was about time it was replaced and amazing to see how things have moved on. , ,

Really enjoyed installing a new sound and video system into Fordbridge Community School, Birmingham. Their old sound and video system was simply not up to job and so we installed a new Panasonic 6000 lumen 4k projector along with a Martin Audio X12 main sound sytem with X8's half way back as delays. The clarity and coverage is exceptional and is being driven with a compact, easy to use rack mount mixer running into an Audac digital amp. The system also includes blue tooth music, Blu Ray player along with Sennheiser radio mics and Chauvet lighting controller all housed in a portable rack that can be easily disconnected and stored away. A big thanks to Steve Parkinson for allowing for being so accomdating and helpful and it'e been an absolute joy to supply and instlall the system.

New Installation at Sacred Hearts School in Hammersmith where we installed a new Martin Audio sound system and equipment rack that includes an easy to use rackmount mixer for day to day use of the radio mics and blue tooth player. When show time comes and they wish to use a larger mixer that is no problem as we have included a mixer switch where their existing Allen & Heath digital desk can be easily patch in and utilised with the new sound system. , , ,

Great to start 2022 with an installation and here are a couple of pics for of a new sound and av system we installed into Jenners Barn in Whelford. This is a lovely wedding venue that wanted to update their sound and AV system so we have installed Martin Audio X10 mid high speakers and X15B bass bins to enable them to provide their clients with a full range high quality sound suitable for both presentations and poweful enough for party and dance events. For projection we used an Epsom Laser 4K full HD projector connected with Kramer optical cabling so they can project high qulaity and video as well. Big thanks to Deborah, John and the team and we wish them a busy and successful 2022.

For Many years Birmingham city Church had been struggling with their house lights being too dim and the congregation often struggled to find their seats. Now we have installed a new ETC Arc lighting system they are really enjoying welcoming more and more people back and the difference is amazing. It was great to be asked to do this and now we can enjoy seeing more of their congregation on their live streams as well.

It's been wonderful to be given the project to update the sound system in The Old Bell Hotel in Malmesbury. This beautiful 800 year old hotel with it's thick walls and stunning decor meant the system had to be both discreet whilst sounding superb. Using the Audac ATEO range of 100v line speakers we have managed to distribute sound to every room and the music is accessed via an iPAD using Sound Machine in conjunction with Blue Sound Network Media players. Thanks to all the staff for making the installation so enjoyable and we look forward to working with you more in the future.

It’s been great to install this lighting track into a private residence in the Cotswolds. The client has a beautiful collection of vintage cars and even a WW2 tank that he wanted to showcase with new lighting. We installed a professional dimmable lighting rail with 20w theatre style lanterns that can be switched to warm or cold white and the beam angle adjusted and shaped with the barn doors. The client was fantastic and it was lovely to work on this rather unique project.

Another very satisfying installation at an additional worship room within BIrmingham City Church. Utilising Martin Audio CDD15s with Powersoft amplification and another Allen & Heath SQ6 mixer the sound is wonderful and as we have already supplied 2 x SQ6 mixers for the main church space this keeps all the control consistent throughout the the building. For the lighting we installed flicker free Chauvet EVE 160 wash lights which are controlled via an iPad linking with the Chauvet Flarecon Air. The space is used for live worship services and meetings and also for live streaming and so the flicker free lights are perfect for clear filming colour rendition. It looks and sounds superb and as usual has been a pleasure working with the wonderful in-house BCC team.
