AV for guests,
staff, and changing spaces.

A quiet breakfast service and a busy evening function ask different things of the same hotel or venue. We plan hospitality AV around your spaces, the way they change use, and the staff who operate them.

Start with the way
your venue runs.

Sound and screens need to suit the setting. A lobby may need background audio and visitor information; a function room needs presenter connections, microphones, and controls that suit its different layouts.

We work through those uses with operations, design, and project teams. Speaker placement, viewing positions, and equipment access are considered alongside finishes, furniture, and the movement of guests and staff.

For an operating venue, planning also needs to cover trading hours, access, and the systems already in place. Agreeing the installation sequence helps everyone understand which areas are affected and when.

What matters in
a working venue.

01

The right sound in each area

Separate dining, bar, and meeting areas may need different sources and levels. Plan audio zones around how the venue operates, including spaces that open into one another.

02

Controls for each shift

Define the tasks staff need to perform and give them clear controls for those tasks. Agree who can change routine settings and who handles more involved adjustments.

03

Room changes that are planned

Work through function layouts, room combinations, and presenter requirements before selecting equipment. Include the connections and operating modes needed for each agreed setup.

From arrival areas
to function rooms.

Lobbies and guest areas

Consider display visibility, background audio, and the information guests need. Coordinate equipment positions with the interior design and provide access for maintenance.

Restaurants, bars, and lounges

Plan screen positions and speaker coverage around seating and conversation. Decide which areas share content and which need independent operation during service.

Meeting and function facilities

In hotel conference and function rooms, confirm the room layouts, presentation sources, and microphone needs. Where rooms divide, document how audio, displays, and controls should behave on either side.

Visitor and interpretation spaces

Start with the content and how visitors move through it. Display, audio, and playback choices should follow the intended experience and the team's content-update responsibilities.

Visitor spaces bring together exhibits, audio, and visual content.

Plan the experience
and the operation together.

A guest sees the finished space; the operations team has to prepare it, change it, and maintain it. We work through both perspectives when defining the AV, including the routine controls and access to equipment.

The design and installation scope should make responsibilities clear across interiors, electrical works, ICT, and content. Testing and handover then follow the agreed room uses, rather than stopping at equipment power-up.

Planning a venue upgrade
or a new guest space?

Send through the plans, operating hours, and intended room uses. Include any function layouts or existing systems, and we can work through the AV scope with your team.
