Running a culture day and awards on a floating venue is a unique challenge. The organiser needed clear visuals, reliable audio across the room, and presenters who could move freely on stage without worrying about a handheld mic cutting out or a screen that couldn't compete with natural light. With up to 300 guests in a banquet setup, there was no margin for a technical problem to kill the energy mid-event.
They needed an AV team who had thought through the details in advance and could be trusted to run everything on the day, quietly and competently, without pulling the organiser away from their guests.
IHAV supplied a 2.6mm pixel pitch LED screen as the centrepiece display, chosen specifically for its brightness. The crew noted on the day that the screen held its image clearly in full daylight onboard the Starship, which is a real consideration on a vessel with open sight lines and natural light. A secondary 40-inch LED monitor was positioned for close-range reference, and a Roland V-160HD video switcher gave the operator clean, confident control over all presentation content.
Audio ran through a QSC K12 speaker package managed on an Allen and Heath Qu16 mixer, with four Shure ULXP SM58 wireless handheld microphones giving presenters the freedom to move across the 6-metre stage. The whole system was set up and tested before guests arrived, and the event ran without a technical interruption from start to finish.
High-brightness LED display that held a sharp, vivid image even in full daylight aboard the Starship. The right choice for a venue where ambient light can't be controlled.
QSC K12 speakers on stands, sized for a banquet room of up to 500 guests and managed through an Allen and Heath Qu16 22-channel mixer for clean, even coverage.
