Is your school hall or drama studio AV system working as well as it should?

For many schools, performance spaces are one of the most used on site. It is used for assemblies, performances, presentations, parents’ evenings, awards events, open days and everyday communication.

But if the audio is unintelligible, the microphones are unreliable or the lighting is outdated, the space quickly becomes harder to manage.

At The AV Barn, we help schools and education settings plan practical AV systems that are built around how the space is actually used.
