Sound System Installation Harrogate

We recently completed a commercial sound system installation at St Wilfrid’s Church Hall Harrogate, providing the venue with a flexible and high-quality audio solution suitable for a wide range of events including wedding receptions, conferences, church services, and community gatherings.

The aim of the project was to deliver clear sound coverage, simple operation, and versatile connectivity so the hall can accommodate many different types of users and events.

Main Hall Speaker System

To provide powerful and balanced sound throughout the hall, we installed a pair of Wharfedale SI12 speakers from Wharfedale Pro.

These speakers were mounted high on the walls on either side of the stage using Powerdrive wall arm brackets, ensuring optimal sound dispersion across the entire hall while maintaining a clean and professional installation.

Stage Equipment Flightcase

All core sound equipment is housed within a dedicated flightcase positioned on the stage, providing a secure and portable control point for the system.

Inside the flightcase we installed:

• Allen & Heath ZED-16FX mixer for audio control and signal management

• Five wireless microphone systems from Audio-Technica for speeches, performances, and presentations

• Apart Audio CD player for music playback

This setup gives users full control over microphones, music, and other audio sources during events.

Power Amplification

The speaker system is powered by a QSC stereo power amplifier, delivering reliable and clean amplification to the Wharfedale speakers. This ensures consistent sound quality for both speech and music across the hall.

Hearing Loop System

To ensure accessibility for all users, we also integrated a hearing loop system powered by an Ampetronic amplifier.

This allows visitors who use hearing aids with a T-coil setting to receive clear audio directly through their devices, significantly improving the listening experience for those with hearing impairments.

Flexible Stage Connectivity

To maximise the system’s versatility, we installed XLR plug-in connection points on the stage, allowing users to easily connect additional audio sources such as:

• Musical instruments

• Laptops for presentations

• External music players

• Additional microphones

This flexibility ensures the hall can support live performances, presentations, and events of all kinds.

A Versatile Community Sound System

The new sound system at St Wilfrid’s Church Hall in Harrogate provides a reliable, high-quality audio solution designed to serve the needs of the local community.

With professional speakers, wireless microphones, accessible hearing support, and flexible connectivity, the hall is now fully equipped to host:

• Wedding receptions

• Church services

• Conferences and meetings

• Parties and community events

This installation ensures the venue can deliver clear, powerful sound for every occasion for many years to come.

As part of our commitment to providing inclusive and accessible audio systems, we recently completed the installation of a professional hearing loop system within the hall at St Wilfrid’s Church Hall.

This installation ensures that visitors who are hard of hearing can clearly receive speech and music during events, presentations, and services.

Perimeter Hearing Loop Coverage

The hearing loop cable has been carefully installed around the perimeter of the hall at a low level, providing consistent magnetic field coverage throughout the entire space. This layout ensures that users with compatible hearing aids can receive clear audio regardless of their seating position.

The system is powered by a dedicated amplifier from Ampetronic, a leading manufacturer of professional hearing assistance solutions.

Integrated with the Main Sound System

The hearing loop system is directly linked to the main audio system, ensuring that all sound sources—including microphones, music playback, and presentations—are transmitted clearly to hearing aid users.

This integration guarantees:

• Clear speech reproduction

• Balanced audio for music and presentations

• Reliable performance during all types of events

Discreet and Professional Installation

Our team ensured the installation was carried out with minimal visual impact, maintaining the appearance and character of the hall while delivering an effective accessibility solution.

The result is a discreet yet highly functional hearing assistance system that blends seamlessly with the existing audio setup.

Improving Accessibility for All

Hearing loop systems are an essential feature in many public venues, helping ensure that everyone can fully participate in events and gatherings.

By installing this system at St Wilfrid’s Church Hall in Harrogate, the venue is now better equipped to support:

• Community events

• Church services

• Conferences and presentations

• Wedding receptions and celebrations

This upgrade helps make the space more inclusive and accessible for all visitors, ensuring everyone can clearly hear and enjoy the event.
