Audiovisual Installation — Sound, Lighting, Displays, Control & Streaming | ABP Audiovisual

// Audiovisual Installation

One system. Anyone can run it.

Most venues don't have a sound problem — they have an integration problem. Sound, vision, lighting and the live stream were each bought separately, set up by different people, and now only one volunteer knows how it all works. We design, install and integrate the whole picture as one system — and tune it so it works the day we leave.

What we walk into.

If a few of these sound familiar, you're not alone — they're what we fix most often in churches, schools and community venues.

ONE-PERSON SYSTEM

It only works when one volunteer is in the building. When they're away, the service suffers — or doesn't get streamed at all.

DISPLAYS NOBODY CAN READ

Washed-out projection, a screen that's too small, or mounted where half the room can't see it.

STATIC, LIFELESS STREAM

One locked-off camera pointed at the stage. The online congregation feels like spectators, not participants.

SPEECH THAT DOESN'T CARRY

The room fights you — boomy, harsh, or dead spots where people just can't follow along. We measure it and tune it out.

Our fix: design it with integration in mind, install it cleanly, and make it simple enough that anyone can run it.

Systems we design & install.

Pick one piece or the whole picture — either way it's specified, supplied, installed and commissioned by the engineer who'll tune it. Pricing for installed systems is always quoted after a site visit, because every room is different.

01 · SOUND OUR SIGNATURE

Sound that's tuned to the room — not guessed.

Speakers, mixing, microphones, foldback and hearing-assistance — installed, then measured with Rational Acoustics Smaart and tuned to your space. The result is even coverage, clear speech everywhere, and more level before feedback.

  • Speaker design & install — conventional loudspeakers to line arrays
  • Smaart-measured tuning for clarity & gain before feedback

02 · LIGHTING

Stage lighting

Wash, key and effect lighting that flatters faces on camera and sets the room — recalled at the touch of a button, so volunteers aren't confused, and lighting scenes don't get lost.

03 · DISPLAYS

Displays people can actually read

Sized, placed and specified for your room and light levels — not just whatever fit the budget:

  • Epson projectors & screens
  • Philips LED video walls & panels
  • Large-format TVs & monitors
  • Digital signage for foyers & wayfinding

04 · TOUCH CONTROL

Touch Control

One-touch wall panels that control your audio, video and lighting settings from a single place — so anyone rostered on can set up the room for an event, a stream, or pack up without learning a console.

We can specify networked platforms like LD Systems QUESTRA — custom touch panels (or an iOS/Android tablet) that recall whole audio, lighting and video scenes by zone.

Blackmagic ATEM multi-camera live streaming setup
05 · LIVE STREAMING

A streaming system that's built in

A permanent, multi-camera streaming setup wired into your sound and vision — so a great-looking stream is a button press, not a weekly production. Online feels like part of the room.

Discreet, sympathetic installs. We hide the gear and keep your space looking the way it should.

Phased to your budget. Big projects split into separate quotes that can proceed independently, in any order.

Electrical handled. We don't do 240V mains ourselves, but coordinate it through trusted contractors.

With a look at your actual room.

Because lighting, displays and control all depend on your space, installed systems are quoted after a site visit — no guesswork, no surprises.
