St James’s Market Pavilion

The Brief:

The design team leading the construction of the pavilion contacted C3 to carry out the AV design and installation. The brief was to deliver a high quality and versatile system into the St James’s Market Pavilion suitable for exhibitions, public address and performance.

The Solution:

We had several acoustical challenges to overcome for this installation, firstly was to install all the speakers so to be hidden from site but also have the ability of having consistent coverage for all audience and performance areas with high levels of speech intelligibility to ensure spoken word clarity, sufficient frequency range and loudness for live music performances whilst minimising possible feedback from roving microphones. Sound levels at the nearest residents could not exceed recommended guidelines and finally the client requested inbuilt flexibility and presets for different event layouts. Video was handled by iPads that could be controlled from a central point.
