During the Easter Break, we undertook a full school audio system installation for a school in Greater Manchester.
Using all Ecler audio equipment from our friends at AUX Import it was an absolute dream to install. At the centre of it all, we have their HUB1408, which is a digital zone controller, allowing you to have up to 14 audio inputs routed to up to 8 zones.
It was important to the school that the audio was clear throughout the building, as not only would it be used for general announcements or playing calming music across the site, but the Head Teacher wanted to make sure it would be clear in an emergency situation where they could make announcements from the office as required.
So we chose to use a combination of iC6 Ceiling Speakers and the eMotus50D Wall speakers for the corridors around school, powered by an eHSA4-150W amplifier, with 4 ARQIS 106i speakers in their smaller hall with an eGPA2-300 amplifier.
It was also important to them that we integrated their existing hall RCF system into this configuration as it was something the staff were already familiar with, and something they hadn't long had installed, so with the use of a CAT CORE wall panel, we were able to move their existing amp into a wall cabinet and make it part of the whole system, and give them the option to still plug their trolley in as they have done previously.
At the training day, on a walk-around to demo the system, the head teacher commented, "Andy, it's perfect. It's exactly what I had in my head and wanted for the school."
The head and other staff trained were amazed at the simplicity of the control for the system.
All in all, another great install and a pleased customer.
If you have, or know, a school or business who wants an easy to use audio system, get them to drop us a line and we will see what we can do together to make what they have in their head work.
