Pubs and bars often require one AV system to support several different environments throughout the day.
Background music may need to remain comfortable during quieter periods before increasing in level for evening trade, live entertainment or private events. Televisions may need to display different content across multiple areas, while lighting helps the venue transition between daytime service and the evening atmosphere.
We design complete AV systems around the size, layout and purpose of your venue. This can include background and high-output audio, independent zones, straightforward staff controls, entertainment lighting, television distribution and connections for DJs or live performers.
From an individual equipment upgrade to a complete venue refurbishment, The AV Barn can support system design, equipment supply, professional installation and ongoing technical support.
Balanced music and clear television audio, with reliable coverage designed around the layout, atmosphere and operation of your main bar.
High-output sound, subwoofers and performer connections designed for live music, DJs, karaoke and busy evening entertainment.
Weather-resistant loudspeakers delivering consistent audio across beer gardens, terraces and external customer areas.
Flexible audio and television systems for private functions, televised sport, presentations, celebrations and a wide variety of events.
A successful pub or bar AV system depends on more than selecting individual speakers, televisions or lighting fixtures.
Audio coverage, system output, equipment protection, zoning, cabling, source selection, lighting control and television distribution all need to work together correctly.
