Sound System Installations Yorkshire

Definition Audio Visual recently completed another commercial sound system installation at East Keswick Village Hall, Yorkshire. The project involved replacing the venue’s outdated 100-volt line speaker system with a modern, high-quality audio solution designed to deliver clear sound coverage throughout the entire hall.

The new installation provides a reliable system suitable for community meetings, presentations, performances, and events, ensuring speech and music can be heard clearly in every part of the venue.

Main Stage Speaker System

To provide strong and clear sound coverage from the stage area, we installed a pair of Apart Audio Mask 8 speakers in white. These were mounted at high level on the walls on either side of the stage, allowing sound to project evenly across the main seating area.

The Mask 8 speakers are known for their excellent clarity and high output capability, making them ideal for speech reinforcement, live performances, and multimedia presentations.

Infill Speaker Coverage

To ensure consistent audio throughout the entire hall, we installed additional infill speakers using Apart Audio Mask 6 units.

Two pairs of Mask 6 speakers were installed halfway down the hall on either side, with an additional pair mounted at the rear of the room. This arrangement ensures that audio remains balanced and intelligible even at the back of the venue.

These speakers are powered by a dedicated QSC GX3, providing ample power and reliable performance.

Audio Control and Equipment Rack

All core audio equipment is housed within a secure equipment cabinet and includes:

• A Cloud Electronics CX463 rack-mount mixer

• QSC stereo amplifiers powering the speaker system

• Audio-Technica wireless radio microphones including handheld and headset options

To simplify day-to-day operation, we installed a Cloud RSL6 remote control plate on the stage. This allows users to easily select audio sources and adjust the volume without needing to access the equipment cabinet.

The microphone levels for the Audio-Technica handheld and headset microphones have been preset within the mixer, preventing accidental adjustments and ensuring consistent sound quality during events.

A Reliable Community Sound System

This installation provides East Keswick Village Hall with a modern and easy-to-use sound system that delivers:

• Clear audio coverage throughout the hall

• Simple control for community users and event organisers

• Reliable wireless microphones for presentations and performances

• A professional setup suitable for a wide range of events

The new system ensures the venue now has consistent, high-quality sound for meetings, performances, and community activities for many years to come.

As part of the sound system upgrade at East Keswick Village Hall, we installed a wall-mounted audio equipment rack cabinet within the storage room located behind the stage. This cabinet houses all of the core audio equipment required to operate the hall’s new sound system while keeping it safely protected and neatly organised.

Inside the rack cabinet we installed:

• A Cloud Electronics CX463 rack-mount mixer

• Two Audio-Technica wireless radio microphone receivers

• Two **QSC GX3 amplifiers powering the speaker system

• The hall’s existing hearing loop amplifier for assistive listening

The cabinet is fully lockable, ensuring that only authorised personnel have access to the audio equipment. This protects the system from accidental adjustments or tampering while maintaining a clean and professional installation.

For everyday operation, users simply control the system via the Cloud remote volume and source control plates and the input connection plate located on the stage. This streamlined setup allows presenters and event organisers to easily operate the system without needing access to the equipment rack, greatly reducing the possibility of user error and ensuring consistent sound quality for every event.
