Stepping outside the traditional specialties of learning spaces and meeting rooms, the Concept AV team delved into a world of luxury and prestige with the completion of a full design and AV fit-out of the BMW Australia showroom in Canterbury.
Concept AV were provided a client brief with the main purpose of elevating the BMW experience to new heights. Taking on board BMW’s intended requirements, Concept AV’s design team developed a return brief for the client, establishing a 6-zone PA and Background Music System, and display solution that included a 3 x 3 55’’ Samsung LCD video wall.
The central location of the reception desk is the main point of control for the space. Utilising a 7’’ QSC touch panel, BMW staff can control the audio levels for each of the zones. A gooseneck microphone has been provided at the desk allowing announcements to be made across all the zones or to specific zones, simply by selecting the zone on the panel.
A single Sonos audio media player was installed in the rack allowing users to select music from their personal devices providing they are connected to the network and on the Sonos app. A charging bay housing two wireless Audio Technica Microphones (one handheld and one lapel) configured to Zone 3 were also integrated to allow for functions such as new model launches expected to be held within the space. A combination of QSC in-ceiling, pendant and wall mounted speakers are spread across the space.
In addition to general signage displays throughout the space, the inclusion of a Samsung LCD video wall with two sources enables switching between presentations and digital signage content. This is achieved through a HDMI plate below the display for local presentation and Brightsign digital signage media player behind the wall. Content uploaded and created in the Brightsign Author software is connected to the media player and subsequently displayed on the video wall. Switching between the sources is achieved through the touch panel at the reception desk.
