AV Installation Goole

Professional Audio Visual Installation for Castaway Music Theatre

Definition Audio Visual recently completed a comprehensive commercial AV installation in Goole for Castaway Music Theatre, upgrading the venue’s stage lighting, projection system and multimedia connectivity.

The project was designed to improve the theatre’s technical capabilities, providing a flexible lighting infrastructure, high-definition projection and simple connectivity for productions, rehearsals, presentations and community events.

The completed installation gives the theatre a modern, reliable AV system capable of supporting a wide range of performances while remaining straightforward for volunteers and technical staff to operate.

Professional Stage Lighting Installation

To provide a safe and versatile lighting infrastructure, we installed four Andolite 10-way pre-wired lighting bars throughout the theatre.

Each lighting bar was securely suspended from the existing timber roof beams using heavy-duty threaded rod and purpose-made steel mounting brackets, creating a robust rigging system suitable for stage lighting and future expansion.

The new lighting bars provide multiple power outlets, allowing lighting equipment to be positioned exactly where it is needed for productions and live performances.

High-Definition Projection System

To enhance presentations and theatrical productions, we installed a Panasonic PT-VZ580 WUXGA projector, delivering bright Full HD images with an output of 5,000 lumens.

The projector is mounted directly onto the front lighting bar using a professional B-Tech projector mount, providing the ideal projection position while maintaining a clean and unobtrusive projector installation solution.

The high-brightness projector is perfect for displaying presentations, promotional content, theatrical scenery, music videos and multimedia during performances.

HDMI Connectivity for Events and Performances

To make the system easy to use, we installed a dedicated HDMI connection point at the front of the theatre.

This allows presenters, performers and visiting production teams to connect laptops or media devices quickly without complicated cabling, making it simple to display video content through the projector during rehearsals, performances and community events.

LED Theatre Lighting Upgrade

As part of the project, we also upgraded the venue’s house lighting with six Showtec 15-watt LED battens mounted directly onto the timber roof structure.

The LED battens provide bright, energy-efficient general lighting while also offering full colour-changing capability, allowing the atmosphere of the theatre to be transformed for different performances and events.

Whether creating subtle ambient lighting before a performance or vibrant colour effects during productions, the new lighting system provides far greater flexibility than the previous installation.

DMX Lighting Control System

To improve reliability and simplify lighting control, we installed a Showtec 8-way DMX splitter at high level within the lighting grid.

The splitter acts as the central distribution point for the venue’s lighting network, ensuring a stable and reliable DMX signal to every lighting bar and LED fitting.

The system has also been designed with future expansion in mind, allowing additional LED PAR cans and intelligent lighting fixtures to be connected as the theatre continues to develop its technical capabilities.

Centralised AV and Lighting Connections

A new wall-mounted control panel has been installed at the technical control position, providing convenient access to all essential connections.

The control point includes:

• Two HDMI inputs for video equipment
• DMX connection for stage lighting control
• CAT5 network connectivity for future system expansion

By bringing all essential connections together in one location, the theatre now benefits from a tidy, efficient and user-friendly control environment.

A Future-Ready Theatre AV System

The completed installation provides Castaway Music Theatre with a modern audio visual and lighting system capable of supporting:

• Live theatre productions
• Musical performances
• Community events
• Training sessions
• Presentations
• Film screenings
• Multimedia productions

The combination of professional lighting infrastructure, high-definition projection and flexible connectivity ensures the venue is equipped to meet both current and future production requirements.
