To start the week, we’ve been back down in Guildford working with our friends at Spectrum Leisure Centre, where we’ve previously installed audio and lighting in the ice rink
This time, we’ve been upgrading the audio system in the bowling and soon-to-open Puttify areas
Out with the old ceiling speakers (while keeping the existing PA/VA system in place), and in with 58 new 7” and 8” ceiling speakers from Audac, delivering better coverage and clarity across the space.
The system is split into four zones, all run from an Allen & Heath AHM. It’s been designed to automatically duck the music for announcements, whether that’s from preloaded announcement messages, the JTS radio mic system, or the building’s existing PAVA system.
Each zone can be adjusted independently, giving the team flexibility while keeping the experience consistent for customers. Control is via a custom touchscreen, keeping things simple for day-to-day use while the heavy lifting happens behind the scenes.
At the end of the day, the system mutes itself, then automatically comes back on at preset levels the next morning, ready to go
It’s been great to be back working with Nick and the team again, we hope they enjoy the new system!
