Sound System Installations Sheffield

We recently completed a professional sound system installation for Sumo Digital in Sheffield, transforming their staff canteen into a versatile space for presentations, background music, and even live performances. Sumo Digital approached us seeking a solution that could cater to diverse audio needs throughout the day.

Our team designed and implemented a system that prioritizes both functionality and user-friendliness. For optimal audio coverage, we deployed a combination of Electrovoice speakers. Four Electrovoice ZX1 speakers were strategically placed as infill units, providing clear and balanced sound in specific areas of the canteen. For the main front-of-house system, we selected a pair of Electrovoice ZX3 speakers, known for their powerful 12″ drivers and horns. Due to limited ceiling height, these speakers were cleverly installed horizontally from the steel girders using unistrut brackets, ensuring optimal sound projection.

Understanding Sumo Digital’s desire for intuitive control, we opted for a Soundcraft 16-channel digital mixer, offering wireless control via an iPad. This innovative approach allows users to adjust individual audio channels and overall levels from any location within the canteen, providing unparalleled flexibility and convenience.

Alongside the Soundcraft mixer, the installation included two QSC stereo amplifiers, an Audio Technica Radio Mic system for clear vocal projection during presentations and performances, and a Sonos Connect for seamless background music playback. The Sonos Connect grants access to local radio stations and enables music streaming from mobile devices, providing virtually unlimited music options to suit any mood or occasion.

This comprehensive sound system installation provides Sumo Digital with a powerful and adaptable audio solution, enhancing the overall atmosphere and functionality of their staff canteen. We are confident that this system will provide years of reliable performance and contribute to a more engaging and enjoyable environment for their employees.

For seamless audio integration with minimal visual impact, we’ve implemented a comprehensive sound system housed entirely within a Swan mobile flightcase. This custom solution provides a centralized and portable audio control center.

The flightcase contains all essential components: a Sonos Connect wireless streaming unit for versatile audio playback options, an Audio Technica Radio Mic Receiver for clear and reliable wireless microphone connectivity, a Soundcraft Digital Mixer for precise audio adjustments and control, and two QSC stereo amplifiers to deliver powerful and high-quality sound.

To maintain a clean aesthetic when the system is not in use, we’ve strategically installed low-profile XLR wall connection plates. This allows the entire flightcase to be quickly unplugged and wheeled away, freeing up valuable space and ensuring the audio equipment remains discreetly stored. This design offers both exceptional audio performance and unparalleled convenience in managing the space.
