Vaughan Sound Installations specified, supplied and installed a complete integrated digital signage system throughout Swansea’s new LC2 leisure centre, together with sound systems for the Main Hall, Gym and Wave Pool areas, plus AV/presentation systems for three function rooms.

Previously known as Swansea Leisure Centre the facility has recently re-opened after a £32m refit as a state-of-the-art water park and health & fitness centre.

VSI supplied 32 Mitsubishi LCD commercial displays of various sizes which are installed around the building. In the reception area, a 10m semi-circular Trilite truss is flown in the ceiling, and fitted with five screens showing general information, opening times, etc.

For the Peak multi-level Gym, the company supplied a full sound system consisting of two arrays of flown TOA F2000 speakers. A Cloud zone mixer handles processing etc., and front-end sources include CD and DAB tuners.

VSI also provided 16 Sanyo LCD TV screens for the Gym and Spinning Room, which receive satellite feeds and are linked into the main sound system.

Another Logic ‘Ethos’ line array sound system was specified for the Main Hall, a multi-purpose space used for aerobics and special sporting events. This features one cluster of mid-high speakers and flown subs to cover a 38m x 38m area.

For three separate function/presentation rooms, VSI has installed self-contained sound systems based on a combination of TOA and QSC amplifiers and DSPs, complete with electric retractable screens and Sanyo XU78 3000 ANSI Lumen projectors. Sound and AV for each room is independently controlled from a wall-mounted AMX control unit. Connections for laptops and DVDs are also provided.

The Wave Pool - which includes indoor surfing facilities and a network of pools, slides and rides - has also been fitted out with flown single cluster and subs to relay audio from the balcony down to the actual wave pool area for special events, poolside parties, etc. DJ’s can be hooked into the system and a selection of local mics are also available. This is again controlled via a TOA M9000 digital mixer.
