School Hall AV Systems

School halls are often the beating heart of any school, with assemblies, sports lessons and lunchtimes just some of the activities that take place in these spaces. Because of the variety of uses, a school hall AV system has become an essential tool for enabling teachers to get their message across to large numbers of students as well as open up even more opportunities for lessons and extra-curricular activities to take place.

When designing a school hall AV system, APi will visit and listen to your requirements, discussing the different options available and what may be best suited to your needs. Most of the time, a large projection screen and projector suspended from the ceiling in a security cage (to avoid damage from high-flying dodgeballs!) are the easiest and most cost-effective way of installing a high-quality visual system.

Due to the large size of most school halls, the sound system element of a school hall AV system is very important so that pupils can hear the teacher clearly. With extensive experience in challenging acoustic environments, (see our page on acoustic treatment for particularly reverberant school halls), APi know the key factors to consider when thinking about speech clarity for events from presentations to drama performances.

Understandably, learning how to operate a school hall AV system is the last thing on teacher’s to-do lists, so we focus our efforts on making the equipment as easy as possible to operate, often integrating wall-mounted control panels for the operation of the visual elements of the system, coupled with simple volume controls to adjust the levels of the sound system. This means that teachers can come in and use the room straight away, without setup or the stress of trying to locate a remote control.
