Presentation
Presentations are reliant on being visual, so having the right projector and screen but also, audio is extremely important as people need to be heard.
AV technologies allow multiple users to share content from any device using wireless presentation applications to the screen. No cables, no set-up, and most importantly, no waiting to join.
Collaboration

The Abbey Centre in Northampton is a mainstay of the local community, providing a much-valued place to meet, socialise and enjoy life alongside the Abbey Road Baptist Church.
After succesffully installing their phone system, we entered the second phase of the project; Audio Visual Technology to ensure that the chapel would have a much easier and more convenient way to display the order of service, songs, and readings. It’s an unusual application and their biggest concern was reliability.
Discover what AV technology we put into The Abbey Centre and how it helped improve their Church.
