Stage Lights Design for St Joseph’s School

Project Overview: Hall Stage Lights Design and Audio Visual Solution

St Joseph’s School required a complete upgrade of their hall’s audio-visual and stage lighting systems to create a flexible, user-friendly solution suitable for assemblies, performances, and school events.

Stage Lights Design

To enhance stage performances and presentations, we designed and installed a Stage Lights Design tailored to the school’s hall. 

The new system includes eight LED stage lights mounted across two new mini lighting bars, installed neatly on either side of the projector bulkhead.

The setup includes:

  • 6 x Chauvet LED PAR RGBW Wash Lights – for dynamic colour lighting effects.
  • 2 x Chauvet LED Colour Manual Zoom Fresnel 160W RGBW Lights – providing flexible colour mixing and focused spotlight effects.



Stage Lights Design

Each lighting bar draws power from the projector supply, and a DMX connection was installed at the rear of the hall to feed both lighting bars.

This enables full data connectivity between the fixtures and the new Chauvet Obey 70 DMX controller/lighting desk, giving staff complete creative control over lighting effects during performances and events.

 

Hall Audio Visual Solution

To modernise the hall’s AV setup, we installed a Cloud CX263 2 Zone Mixer, replacing the existing unit. This upgrade allows seamless control of multiple audio sources and volumes across different areas of the hall.

Two wall-mounted remote source/volume plates, a Bluetooth connectivity plate, and a stereo 3.5mm audio input plate were fitted near the HDMI presentation point. This gives users the ability to easily change input sources and adjust audio levels for each zone — all without needing to access the AV cabinet.

All new audio hardware was neatly housed within the existing AV cabinet in the storeroom, maintaining a clean, professional finish. The school’s existing amplifiers and loudspeakers were retained and integrated into the new system, offering an efficient and cost-effective solution.

To streamline operation, a trigger system was added to the projector, automatically lowering and raising the screen when the projector is powered on or off.

Additionally, we provided the option for two Sennheiser handheld wireless microphone systems to enhance flexibility for school events and performances.

Results

The upgraded audio-visual and stage lighting systems at St Joseph’s School have transformed the hall into a versatile, easy-to-use performance space. The new stage lights design adds vibrancy and professionalism to every event, while the improved AV control ensures high-quality sound and seamless operation.

"AV and Stage Lighting Installation: Protech was knowledgeable, competitive and a pleasure to work with. We were delighted with how the project was managed and delivered. The team worked sympathetically and considerately around our busy school schedule and nothing was too much trouble. The finished result was so well received and more importantly Paul took the time to explain the system and show us how it worked. He also followed this up with links for further support. All in all a project that was well planned, undertaken professionally and I would definitely recommend them for school installation projects."
