Pro-Active Audio installation for CSS at Newent Community School

Newent Community School

Pro-Active Audio has completed lighting and sound Installation work at Newent Community School for CSS. A partial failure of a section of the school hall roof resulted in the whole false ceiling being removed to enable proper repairs to take place. This meant the removal of the original lighting bars and attendant cabling.

The School wisely sought to have the whole lighting system updated, and called upon CSS to organise this. The job was given over to Pro-Active to tackle, and Steve Roskilly set about specifying and quoting.

The school wanted to upgrade the dimmer capability from 18 channels to 24, and to go to digital patching rather than revert to its old 15A cordpatch unit. A new 63Amp 3 phase mains has been brought into the stage-left dimmer position, and a Strand Wallrack 24 from AC Lighting has been used to distribute to 7 bars. The Andolite hall bars form a 6 x 9m box, and 3 x 12 outlet bars are used onstage.

Only 4 new Selecon Rama 1kW fresnels have been ordered since the school already holds a fair selection of lanterns, but the school has stretched to 4 x Robe 250AT moving heads. The system is to be controlled from an ETC Smartfade ML board, bringing the school's capability to the very pinnacle of school theatre lighting facilities

The elctrical contractor Bob Main of AC Mains Ltd provided all the cableways and new three phase cabling.

Oh.... and Sound Too !

In mid project, the school reassessed it's multicore needs, and asked for the existing 24 way cable to be relaid into the ceiling void and a further 12 channels to be installed, so that each cable fed one side of the stage. PAA installed a wall box at sound control position (back of Hall) housing a 37 and an 85 pin VDM multi connector and provided 2 new connector to fantails.

The school is now looking at their next development into a new mixer and loudspeaker system.

We might be called Pro-Active Audio, but we're still perfectly at home doing lighting installations. We have to commend Newent Community School for its commitment to getting a job done properly. Their forward-looking attitude enabled us to help in clearing up many years of ad hoc additions, all of which conspired to tidy up the overall look of the hall enormously.
