Audio Visual Installation Leeds

Professional Audio Visual Installation for the Leeds Irish Centre

Definition Audio Visual recently completed a comprehensive audio visual installation in Leeds for the Leeds Irish Centre, transforming the venue with a modern high-definition video distribution system and a fully upgraded commercial sound system.

The project was undertaken to resolve ongoing issues with the existing Sky TV distribution network while improving audio performance throughout the venue. The completed installation now provides a reliable, flexible AV solution capable of supporting live entertainment, sports screenings, quiz nights, private functions and community events.

High-Definition Sky TV Distribution System

The venue’s existing television system was delivering a mixture of standard-definition and high-definition signals, resulting in inconsistent picture quality across multiple displays.

To overcome this, we designed and installed a professional HD anywhere 8×8 HDMI matrix system with HDMI over CAT cabling, providing complete flexibility when distributing video sources throughout the building.

The upgraded system enables:

• Full HD picture quality on every display
• Independent routing of two Sky Q receivers
• Any video source to be shown on any screen
• Instant switching between connected devices

The installation includes:

• Two displays positioned above the main bar
• Two large commercial displays located within the main function room
• Two BenQ projectors projecting onto motorised screens

The venue now benefits from consistent high-definition video throughout, providing an enhanced viewing experience for customers during live sport, entertainment and special events.

Flexible Presentation and Event Connectivity

To support the venue’s busy programme of quiz nights, live entertainment and corporate functions, we also integrated a dedicated laptop connection on the stage.

This allows presenters to connect quickly and distribute presentations, quizzes or multimedia content to any display or projector within the venue using the HDMI matrix system, creating a flexible solution for a wide variety of events.

Commercial Sound System Installation

As part of the refurbishment, we replaced the ageing sound system with a modern, zoned audio solution designed to deliver clear, consistent sound while offering greater flexibility for different room layouts and event types.

The new speaker installation configuration includes:

Stage Area

Two Optimal Audio Cuboid 10 loudspeakers provide powerful sound reinforcement for live performances, presentations and entertainment.

Main Seating Area

Four Apart Audio MASK6 wall-mounted loudspeakers deliver balanced audio coverage throughout the audience area, ensuring speech and music remain clear regardless of where guests are seated.

To maximise value for the client, the venue’s existing Wharfedale Pro loudspeakers were relocated and integrated into a smaller function area, extending audio coverage without unnecessary equipment replacement.

Audio Control and System Zoning

The upgraded sound system is powered by professional Crown Audio amplifiers and managed using a Cloud Electronics two-zone mixer.

This configuration allows staff to independently control audio levels across different areas of the venue, making it easy to adapt the system for sporting events, live music, private functions or day-to-day operation.

The new system provides:

• Independent volume control for separate room zones
• Individual Sky TV audio routing
• Integration with the venue’s existing Sennheiser wireless microphone systems
• Flexible audio management for different event layouts

The result is a simple yet highly versatile audio solution that can easily be adapted to suit changing requirements.

A Modern AV Solution for a Multi-Purpose Venue

The completed installation has transformed the Leeds Irish Centre into a flexible, future-ready venue capable of hosting a wide range of events.

The new system provides:

• Full HD Sky TV distribution
• Professional HDMI matrix switching
• Dual projector integration
• Laptop connectivity for presentations and quiz nights
• Commercial zoned sound system
• Wireless microphone compatibility
• Reliable, easy-to-use controls

Whether hosting live sport, music events, conferences, fundraising evenings or community activities, the venue now benefits from a professional audio visual system that delivers exceptional performance while remaining straightforward for staff to operate.
