Hull Ice Arena

In 2021, Hull Ice Arena underwent an extensive refurbishment and as part, sought an audio-visual refurbishment to enhance its facilities. The main contractor initially received a quote for the P.A. system that exceeded the available budget. In response, J.R.G. Productions, specializing in A.V. solutions, proposed an alternative offer, promising a comprehensive P.A system at a competitive price.

J.R.G. Productions presented a solution that not only addressed the P.A. system but also included enhanced side fills to the seating tiers and a complete lighting overhaul, enriching the overall experience for patrons. The proposed package incorporated a new P.A. system and advanced lighting technology to elevate the arena's ambiance.

P.A. System

Centre Cluster: Installed to ensure uniform sound distribution across the arena, enhancing audio clarity and coverage.

Side Fills: Added to seating tiers for immersive sound experience, catering to all audience members irrespective of their location within the arena.

Benefits

Comprehensive Solutions: J.R.G. Productions' approach of offering a bundled package, including both P.A. system and lighting upgrades, provided added value to the client while maintaining competitiveness.

Key Points:

Lighting Upgrade

80 x RGBW LED Par Spots: Integrated to provide dynamic lighting effects, enhancing visual appeal during performances and events.

Software-Based DMX Control System: Implemented for efficient control and customization of lighting configurations, allowing for seamless transitions and synchronized effects.

Challenges

Timelines: With the enquiry only being placed with J.R.G. Productions 6 weeks prior to opening, design, quoting, procurement and installation had to be both seamless and fast.

Careful planning was necessary to ensure that the installation process did not interfere with the ice build schedule.

Outcome

Enhanced Experience: The integration of advanced A.V. technology not only met the client's requirements but also elevated the overall experience for patrons, reinforcing the arena's position as a leading entertainment destination.
