AV for everyday use
and a busy match day.

Training sessions, community programs, and spectator events use a facility differently. We plan audio, displays, and controls around those uses, the areas they cover, and the staff running them.

Discuss your projectExplore the priorities

Start with the spaces
and who uses them.

An indoor court, a clubroom, and an outdoor spectator area each have different AV requirements. Background sound, announcements, and shared content may need to work independently in some areas and together in others.

We work through the operating requirements with facility, club, and project teams. Audience positions, room acoustics, equipment exposure, and control locations help determine the system layout.

For an existing facility, we also review what can be retained and how work fits around bookings. The scope needs to make clear which areas are included, what changes for users, and who will support the system.

Indoor recreation spaces need audio planned around their surfaces, activities, and equipment exposure.

What matters across
a shared facility.

01

Announcements in the right areas

Map where speech needs to be heard and who makes announcements. Assess the listening conditions and define the audio zones and source priorities required for normal operation.

02

Controls for different users

Staff, clubs, and visiting organisers may need different levels of access. Agree the routine tasks, labels, and settings each group needs, with guidance for less familiar users.

03

Equipment suited to its location

Indoor and outdoor positions bring different installation requirements. Consider environmental exposure, mounting, equipment protection, and maintenance access as part of the design.

From community rooms
to spectator spaces.

Indoor courts and activity halls

Review speech, music, and presentation needs alongside the room's surfaces and layout. Speaker and display positions need to account for both activities and viewing areas.

Grounds and spectator areas

Define the announcement coverage and any display requirements across the site. Consider viewing distances, ambient light, and the routes needed for power and signal connections.

Clubrooms and shared spaces

Meeting, training, and social uses may share the same room. Plan straightforward source selection and controls around the equipment and content each use requires.

Facilities with several zones

Work through which spaces operate independently and when they need to share audio or content. Document those arrangements so venue staff can manage bookings and room changes.

One facility.
Several ways to use it.

The useful starting point is a schedule of activities and spaces: which areas are booked together, who operates the equipment, and what needs to be shared between them. We use that information to plan coverage, connections, and control.

Installation, testing, and user guidance are coordinated around the agreed bookings and access. Equipment records and a clear support arrangement help facility staff manage the system after handover.

sporting or community facility?

Discuss your facility

Send through the site plans, activity areas, and typical bookings. Include your announcement, display, and control requirements, and we can work through the scope and installation schedule.
