Project Overview

We were engaged by a local high school to improve the sound quality in their theatre. The first stage of works focused on delivering a premium line array speaker system to ensure coverage and clarity for not only assemblies but full performance/productions.

Following the success of the initial installation of the line array speaker system, the school later returned to us to upgrade their video and audio control system, giving them a fully integrated solution that was simple enough for everyday use, yet powerful enough for professional productions.

Stage One: Line Array Installation

To achieve consistent sound coverage across the theatre, we installed a QSC LA108 active line array system with a Martin Audio SXP218 active subwoofer:

• 2 x Line Array Hangs: 6 x QSC LA108 modules per side.
• 1 x Central Subwoofer: Martin Audio SXP218 active sub cabinet.

This system provided the theatre with crystal-clear audio and powerful low-end reinforcement, immediately elevating the sound experience for both performers and audiences.

Stage Two: Control System Upgrade

After seeing the improvements in sound, the school later chose to upgrade the theatre’s control system to improve usability and provide greater flexibility for productions.

The installation included Q-SYS digital processors, licenses for scripting and deployment, Video over IP encoders, PoE switches, wall input plates, and other supporting components.

Two 10-inch Touchscreens were installed, featuring custom interfaces designed for the theatre:

• Stage Area Touchscreen: Provides simple controls for projection and audio, allowing staff and students to operate the theatre without technical training.
• Bio Box Touchscreen: Offers advanced control for technical staff to fine-tune audio and video during performances.

Video Over IP System:
A reliable Video over IP solution was implemented, enabling seamless HDMI signal switching across the venue with three input locations:

• Stage Left & Stage Right: Each securely housed in wall-mounted protective enclosures.
• Bio Box Input: Allows direct connection of a video source from the Bio Box.

This upgrade gave the school intuitive everyday control, while also providing the flexibility and functionality needed for professional productions.

Outcome

The high school theatre has been turned into a modern, professional, and easy-to-use performance space.

• The QSC line array delivers powerful, consistent sound for every seat in the house.
• The Q-SYS control system makes it simple for staff and students to use the theatre for assemblies and presentations, while giving production staff the tools needed for professional performances.

What began as a sound upgrade has evolved into a comprehensive AV solution that will support the school’s events for years to come.

A local primary school approached us to design and install a fully automated audio and projection system for their main hall. The goal was to provide a professional, easy-to-use solution for assemblies, performances, and events, with secure equipment storage and minimal setup required by staff.

The project involved installing a complete PA system and a high-brightness projection system, integrated for seamless use in the school hall.

Audio System

• All-in-one PA System housed in a mobile heavy-duty road case, secured to the wall at the client’s request.
• Dual wireless microphone system including 2 x handheld microphones.
• 4 x 10” commercial-grade speakers strategically placed in each corner of the hall for clear, even sound coverage across the entire venue.
• A lockable box installed to house the wall controller, PA inputs, HDMI input, and power point – ensuring accessibility while maintaining security

Projection System

• Fully automated school hall projection system with:
• Epson 7,000 ANSI lumens laser projector with a middle-throw zoom lens for crisp, bright visuals in large spaces.
• 130-inch motorised projector screen for maximum visibility.
• 6-button controller, pre-programmed for user-friendly operation (functions: On, Off, Screen Up + Picture Mute, Screen Down + Picture On).
• Existing projector cage utilised with custom modifications to fit the new projector securely.

Outcome
The completed installation delivered a professional-grade audio-visual solution that is easy to operate and built with long-term durability in mind. By securing all key components, the system ensures peace of mind for the school while providing powerful sound and high-quality visuals for any event.

Overview
Our client engaged 3 Monkeys AV to deliver a complete audio visual and video conferencing fitout for their new premises. The project involved a mix of reusing existing equipment and supplying new solutions, with most rooms configured as Microsoft Teams Rooms.

Scope of Works
We installed and integrated Microsoft Teams Room systems across multiple meeting spaces, including the boardroom, lead estimator room, and several smaller meeting rooms. Each space was equipped with a combination of wall-mounted displays, Yealink conferencing bars, touchscreens for easy meeting controls, and supporting infrastructure to ensure seamless video conferencing and BYOD functionality. The MD’s office was set up for BYOD only, as it is used exclusively by one person.

A range of LG commercial displays were installed, with one meeting space featuring a dual-screen configuration for enhanced collaboration. In some of the larger rooms, we also included Yealink wireless presentation dongles, allowing users to easily share content without the need for cables. This was an important consideration, as the office’s modern, sleek design called for a solution that blended seamlessly with the space.

The breakout room was fitted with a complete background music system designed to complement the space without compromising its clean aesthetic. This included four 8″ ceiling speakers inside the room, three outdoor speakers for the balcony area, and a new mixer amplifier. Audio from the existing TV was routed back to the amplifier, alongside a Bluetooth connection for easy connection to the system.

Challenges and Solutions
The project required a staged installation due to delays in receiving some components. To keep the client operational, we completed all video conferencing rooms first, ensuring the most critical spaces were ready for immediate use. The background music system for the breakout room and balcony was finalised once the remaining equipment arrived.

Project Overview

MLG Oz Limited approached us to design and install a complete AV and video conferencing solution for their new premises. The project included several meeting rooms of different sizes, as well as a combined training and staff hub space. Their goal was to have a system that was professional, easy to use, and consistent across all rooms.

Every space was set up with a Microsoft Teams Room VC System on Android, complete with wall or table-mounted TAP controllers and room booking panels so staff can simply book a meeting, walk in, and press start. The large boardroom and meeting  rooms are also equipped with content ingest for ease of sharing directly to the room displays.

What We Delivered

16 Person Training Room & Staff Hub

In the 16-person training room and staff hub, we installed an Epson projector and a fixed wall-mounted screen, supported by a quality two zone audio setup. The training room features 6 ceiling speakers while the staff hub has 4, all powered by a two-zone amplifier. We integrated audio return from the projector to the sound system, installed two Biamp Impera wall controllers, provided an HDMI input at the front of the room, and completed all cabling for the client’s TV audio matrix and speaker system. This allows for audio room combining and separation all at the touch of a button.

14 Person Boardroom

The 14-person boardroom features dual 75-inch Samsung commercial displays with a Logitech Rally Bar for video conferencing. We installed a table-mounted TAP IP touch controller for easy meeting controls, 2 ceiling pendant microphones for clear voice pickup, and provided an HDMI ingress point at the table using an HDMI extension system through under floor cabling. Finished off with a TAP Scheduler booking panel, installed outside the room for room booking and visual representation.

8 Person Meeting Room

For the 8-person meeting room, we supplied a 75-inch Samsung commercial display and Logitech Rally Bar, again paired with a table-mounted TAP IP touch controller and two pendant microphones. A TAP Scheduler booking panel was also fitted at the entrance.

4 Person Meeting Rooms

The smaller 4-person meeting rooms were equipped with smaller sized Samsung commercial displays, Logitech Rally Bar Huddle systems, TAP IP Meeting controllers, and TAP Scheduler panels to keep booking and operation consistent with all spaces.

Challenges and How We Solved Them

We joined the project towards the final stages, which meant the timeline for AV design and installation was tight.

Due to power and data cabling being installed by others, we also needed to work closely with the builder and other trades to ensure all the requirements for the system design were met. This was not limited to just cabling, but also included exact locations for the room displays, cameras, control pads, projector, screen and speakers.

To keep everything on track, we quickly supplied the client and builder with clear cabling and infrastructure requirements, ensuring our systems could be installed without delays. This close coordination and regular communication ensured the whole project was completed within the timeframe.

The Result

MLG Oz Limited now has a reliable, easy-to-use AV and conferencing system across their new premises. Staff can connect and collaborate effortlessly, whether they are meeting in person, running hybrid meetings, or hosting training sessions. The installation provides a professional, consistent experience in every room and is built to support the company’s communication needs well into the future.
