"Black Light did an extremely professional installation," said Derek Johnston, head of music and drama at the school. "The entire system looks incredibly neat and tidy and operates in an extremely effective and flexible manner."
To achieve the required outcome for the end users at the school, Black Light developed a detailed project proposal that completely met the requirements of the Local Authority. The company's installation team then carried out the on-time and on-budget full package installation. The new facilities allow the school to make high quality audio recordings of students' work from three areas of the school. The set up allows the staff and pupils to record anything from a school rock/pop band through to large choirs, school band concerts and shows.
"This was the first of six schools in the same purchasing consortium, so we spent a lot of time and effort getting the specifications absolutely correct and 'nailed down'," said Black Light's head of company development, Phil Haldane. "The Local Authority have very high ambitions for the quality of the buildings and systems they want to provide. We therefore worked closely with them through several phases of design development to ensure their requirements were met exactly."
Among the equipment Black Light installed at the school were: Andolite IWBs and Facilities Panels, Zero88 Chilli Dimmers, a Zero88 Jester lighting control desk, Selecon and ETC Luminaires, Tannoy loudspeakers, a Soundcraft mixing desk, Tascam CD players, QSC Amplifiers, EEE Unitrack and Hall Stage T60 curtain tracks and Tecpro stage comms.
