Lalor Secondary College
At Lalor Secondary College, a newly commissioned building from the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) was set to become a central hub for student activities. However, it lacked the critical audio-visual infrastructure necessary to bring the space to life.

The hall’s size demanded a robust display and audio system solution.
The multipurpose hall at Lalor Secondary College is expansive, measuring 38 meters in width and 42.5 meters in length. Given the size of the space, the school identified two main requirements: a large display solution and a powerful audio system to ensure clear visibility and audibility from any point in the hall.
To address the brief, we recommended the following three solutions: 5m x 3m LED Wall, 2.6PP, 16,000 ANSI Lumens Projector or 20,000 ANSI Lumens Projector. After careful consideration, the school opted for the budget-conscious yet high-performance option of a 16,000 ANSI lumens projector.
This choice would ensure bright, clear images on a large scale without breaking the bank.
The elevated flooring, while functional and cosmetically-sound, could not support the multi-ton weight load of specialised heavy lifting equipment. To address this, we coordinated for 24 sheets of 12mm plywood for structural support and a combination of a 19ft scissor lift and two 9.2m man lifts for installation and cabling access.
The core of the visual setup is the Epson EB-PU2216B projector, known for its exceptional brightness and clarity. With 16,000 ANSI lumens and WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels), this projector delivers stunning visuals even in well-lit environments. Its laser-based light source offers up to 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, making it a reliable long-term investment.
To achieve the desired projection size of approximately 6 meters in width and 3.8 meters in height from a 3-meter throw distance, we paired the projector with the ELPLU03S short throw lens. This combination ensures a large, sharp image even in the relatively confined projection distance. The projector was mounted using an Ultralift 3m ceiling post and secured with a Spider Vault Jumbo Cage for maximum safety and stability.
To match the high-quality visuals, we installed a comprehensive audio system featuring Audac’s KYRA24/B designer column speakers and BASO15 subwoofers. The KYRA24/B speakers are known for their sleek design and powerful sound output, making them perfect for large venues. Paired with the BASO15 subwoofers, which deliver deep, rich bass, this setup ensures clear and immersive audio throughout the hall.
The audio system is driven by the Audac PRE116 6-channel stereo preamplifier, which includes integrated Bluetooth for versatile connectivity options. Powering the speakers are the Audac SMQ350 4-channel and SMA750 2-channel power amplifiers, providing ample power and clarity for any audio source.
A user-friendly control system and high-quality audio for seamless presentations.
For presentations and events, we installed a Sennheiser wireless microphone system, including two EW 100 G4-835 vocal handheld microphone kits and a dual bay charging kit. This system offers reliable, high-quality audio transmission, ensuring speakers can be heard clearly from anywhere in the hall.
To simplify operation, we integrated a JED T460 wall controller, allowing easy control of the entire AV system with just a few buttons. This user-friendly interface ensures that staff and students can effortlessly manage the AV setup for various events.
- Enhanced Visual Experience: The installation of the Epson EB-PU2216B projector with a short throw lens provided bright, high-definition visuals, ensuring clear visibility from all areas of the large hall.
- Immersive Audio Quality: The Audac KYRA24/B column speakers and BASO15 subwoofers deliver powerful and clear audio, making every event in the hall engaging and impactful.
- User-Friendly Control System: The JED T460 wall controller simplifies the operation of the AV system, allowing staff and students to manage presentations and events effortlessly.
- Durable and Safe Installation: The use of an Ultralift ceiling post, Spider Vault Jumbo Cage, and structural reinforcements ensures a stable and long-lasting setup, addressing the challenges posed by the hall’s elevated flooring.
Vision One Technologies successfully transformed Lalor Secondary College’s multipurpose hall into a state-of-the-art venue for student activities and events. By integrating cutting-edge visual and audio solutions, we met the school’s requirements for both quality and budget, delivering a space that is both functional and impressive. Our careful planning and installation have ensured that the hall will serve the school community effectively for years to come.
