Audio Visual Installation Leeds

We were recently appointed to design and deliver a complete audio visual installation in Leeds for the Leeds Irish Centre, resolving ongoing issues with their Sky TV distribution and upgrading their outdated sound system.

The venue required a fully high-definition Sky distribution solution alongside a flexible, zoned audio system capable of supporting live events, quiz nights, and day-to-day use.

HD Sky Distribution System Installation

The existing system was delivering a mix of HD and standard definition signals across multiple displays. To eliminate this inconsistency, we installed an 8×8 HD matrix system from HDanywhere.

This HDMI matrix system, combined with HDMI over CAT5 receivers, now allows:

• Full HD signal distribution to every display

• Independent routing of two Sky Q boxes

• Any source to be displayed on any screen

• Seamless switching between inputs

Display Setup Includes:

• 2 x TV screens above the bar

• 2 x Large TV screens in the corners of the venue

• 2 x BenQ projectors projecting onto motorised screens

The new system ensures every screen now receives a consistent high-definition signal.

Additionally, we integrated a stage laptop input, enabling the venue to host quiz nights and events with content routed to any display within the venue.

Sound System Installation & Zoning Upgrade

The existing audio system consisted of four large Peavey Electronics speakers covering both sides of the room without independent control. Smaller Wharfedale Pro speakers were installed but not connected.

We removed the outdated equipment and designed a new zoned sound system.

New Speaker Configuration:

Stage Area:

• Optimal Audio Cuboid 10 speakers

Seating Area:

• 4 x Apart Audio Mask 6 wall-mounted speakers

The unused Wharfedale speakers were relocated and repurposed within a smaller area of the venue, maximising existing equipment.

Amplification & Control

The upgraded system is powered by:

• 2 x Crown Audio power amplifiers

• Cloud Electronics 2-zone mixer

The Cloud 2-zone mixer now provides:

• Independent volume control for each side of the room

• Separate control of Sky TV audio

• Integration of their existing Sennheiser handheld wireless microphone systems

This zoning capability allows the Irish Centre to tailor sound levels depending on events, audience size, and room layout.

A Flexible & Future-Proof AV Solution

The completed AV installation at Leeds Irish Centre now delivers:

• Full HD Sky distribution to all displays

• HDMI matrix switching with total routing flexibility

• Dual projector integration

• Stage laptop input for events and quiz nights

• Independent two-zone audio control

• Upgraded speakers and amplification

• Wireless microphone compatibility

The result is a modern, high-performance AV and sound system that enhances live events, sports screenings, and community functions alike.
