Future-proof AV system transforms the Ian Morton Centre Gym.
Vision One installed a cutting-edge Aurora LUX Indoor P2.6 LED Display Screen, featuring a resolution of 1344 x 768 pixels and a brightness of over 1250 NITS. This ensures that even on brighter days, the LED wall displays crisp, clear images, making it ideal for the gym’s dynamic environment. The Colorlight X4s LED Processor enables seamless video content distribution (via HDMI) with built-in scaling and image processing, while allowing for simple switching between input signal sources.
Customised audio system enhances acoustic capabilities.
To complement the visual upgrade, Vision One deployed an advanced audio solution from Audac:
These KYRA24 speakers, equipped with 24 x 2” aluminum drivers, deliver precise and clear sound over a 23m throw distance, perfect for the gym’s acoustically difficult space. Their slim design minimises echo and improves speech clarity.
The BASO12 12” subwoofers provide deep bass in a compact, durable enclosure, ensuring high-performance audio while seamlessly fitting into the gym’s environment.
The SMQ1250 amplifier drives the speakers and subwoofers with 1250W power, equipped with WaveDynamics™ DSP for easy system tuning and optimal audio output.
The NX-1200 serves as the core control processor, managing the entire AV system through a single, programmable interface.
This 4K60 HDMI switcher manages multiple video sources, allowing seamless transitions between content.
This 7” touch panel provides intuitive control over the AV system, enabling quick switching between inputs (Apple TV, HDMI), volume adjustment and microphone management.
These devices facilitate simple HDMI input connections, allowing users to connect laptops or other media devices to the system easily.
Intuitive control system empowers staff to manage events with ease.
An AMX NX-1200 Integrated Controller was implemented to allow for easy, programmable control of the AV systems. Paired with the AMX MD-702 Modero Wall Touch Panel, this system provided intuitive control over both audio and visual components, offering fast and seamless transitions between different modes and events. Whether for gym assemblies, sports events or school-wide presentations, the user-friendly AMX interface simplified the operation of this complex system.
Seamless performance. Sophisticated processing.
The Sennheiser EW100 Wireless Handheld Microphone System offers versatile, high-quality wireless performance, ideal for presentations, performances or announcements. Its 42 MHz tuning bandwidth in the UHF range ensures stable and reliable audio transmission, allowing seamless setup of up to 12 linked systems.
For more complex audio routing and processing, the Biamp TesiraFORTE AI Digital Audio Server was installed. With its fixed audio I/O DSP, it features 12 analog inputs, 8 analog outputs and up to 8 channels of configurable USB audio, delivering precise sound control for the entire venue. This ensures clear, distortion-free audio for a range of activities, from assemblies to sporting events.
