AV Installation Completed for Driffield Town Council at Cass Hall
We are pleased to announce the successful completion of a comprehensive AV installation for Driffield Town Council at Cass Hall. The hall is a versatile community venue used for meetings, public functions, and a wide range of events, so the project focused on delivering a flexible and high-performance AV solution to suit multiple applications.
The newly installed system provides high-quality projection, professional audio, and integrated video conferencing, ensuring the venue is well equipped for modern presentations, hybrid meetings, and community events.
Projection System
To provide clear and impactful visuals for presentations and multimedia content, a large-format projection system was installed.
A 3-metre Sapphire motorised projection screen in a 16:10 widescreen format now provides an expansive display area at the front of the hall. The screen is paired with a powerful Epson WUXGA Laser Projector, delivering bright, high-resolution imagery suitable for large audiences and well-lit environments.
The projector was mounted using the hall’s existing bracket and pole system, allowing for a secure installation while maintaining optimal projection alignment.
Flexible Connectivity
Ease of use for presenters was an important consideration. To allow simple connection for laptops and other devices, two Lindy active HDMI input plates were installed — one at the front of the hall and another on the side wall.
This provides convenient connection points for meetings, presentations, and guest speakers, ensuring the system can be used from multiple positions within the room.
Integrated Video Conferencing
To support hybrid meetings and remote communication, a Biamp VBC 2500 video conferencing unit was installed beneath the projection screen.
This compact conferencing solution combines:
-
Integrated speakers
-
Built-in microphone array
-
High-quality camera
-
Local USB connection plate
This setup allows the hall to easily host video meetings, remote presentations, and hybrid council sessions, expanding the functionality of the space.
Professional Surround Sound System
To complement the visual system, a surround sound speaker system was installed to deliver clear and immersive audio throughout the hall.
The system includes:
-
Optimal Audio Cuboid 6 speakers used for the left, centre, and right channels
-
A Optimal Audio Sub 10 providing enhanced low-frequency response
-
Rear surround speakers using Apart Audio Kubo 5 units
This configuration ensures balanced sound coverage for presentations, music playback, and multimedia events.
Audio Control and Processing
All core audio equipment was integrated into the client’s existing equipment cabinet to maintain a tidy and professional installation.
The rack now houses:
-
A rackmount audio mixer managing multiple input sources
-
Two Crown Audio power amplifiers driving the speaker system
-
A dbx two-way stereo crossover for optimised frequency distribution
Audio sources include:
-
Two Sennheiser wireless radio microphone systems
-
A Denon Bluetooth audio unit
-
Audio output from the Epson projector
This setup allows multiple sources to be mixed and controlled easily while ensuring excellent sound quality throughout the hall.
Modern Community AV System Installations
This installation provides Cass Hall with a modern, versatile AV system capable of supporting:
-
Council meetings
-
Presentations and training sessions
-
Community events
-
Video conferencing and hybrid meetings
-
Film screenings and multimedia presentations
The new system ensures the venue is future-ready, easy to use, and capable of delivering high-quality audio and visuals for a wide range of events.
We are proud to have delivered this installation for Driffield Town Council and look forward to supporting the venue as it continues to serve the local community.

AV Installations Driffield
As part of this recent installation project, we delivered a comprehensive home theatre upgrade designed to enhance both the entertainment experience and accessibility within the space. The solution combines high-quality surround sound performance with an improved assistive listening system, ensuring the environment is both immersive and inclusive.
Immersive Home Cinema Sound
At the centre of the new home theatre system is a Marantz AV receiver, which acts as the main hub for all audio and video sources. Known for its exceptional sound quality and reliability, the receiver provides powerful processing for a rich and dynamic surround sound experience.
The receiver has been seamlessly integrated with the client’s existing Blu-ray DVD player, allowing them to continue enjoying their movie collection while benefiting from improved audio performance. In addition, we installed a Google Chromecast, giving the client easy access to a wide range of streaming services and enabling wireless content casting from smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
This combination creates a fully immersive cinema-style environment, perfect for movie nights, streaming content, and multimedia entertainment.
Hearing Loop Accessibility Upgrade
Alongside the home theatre improvements, we also upgraded the room’s assistive listening system to ensure clear audio for users with hearing aids.
The existing amplifier was replaced with a professional Ampetronic rack-mount hearing loop amplifier. This new unit connects directly to the previously installed hearing loop cable, allowing us to enhance the system’s performance while maintaining compatibility with the existing infrastructure.
To ensure high-quality audio input for the hearing loop, we installed a dedicated Audio-Technica shotgun microphone. This microphone captures clear speech and sound within the room and feeds it directly into the loop system, improving clarity for hearing aid users.
Enhanced Entertainment and Inclusivity
This upgrade delivers several key benefits:
-
Immersive surround sound for films and streaming content
-
Improved accessibility through a modernised hearing loop system
-
Crystal-clear speech pickup via a dedicated microphone input
-
Seamless integration with existing equipment and infrastructure
The result is a modern home entertainment system that combines high-quality audio performance with improved accessibility, ensuring everyone in the room can enjoy the experience comfortably.
