Multimedia - Amplifier and Projector - Page Updated 2 Jan 2026

 

Our multimedia equipment has been upgraded considerably.

 

The new equipment comprises a full HD Projector with cordless connections via a USB (and USB C) dongal or Android/Apple casting protocols. Music can be played direct from phones once connected to the bluetooth interface.

 

Overview

The amplifier is now on the stage behind the curtain on the right as you look at the stage. It is in a locked cupboard and users will have no need to access the various components.

Another locked box houses the radio microphones and a key will be provided to regular users. One off users can be given a key and once the kit is locked back in the box, the key can be posted into the same box though the letter opening slot.

The amplifier supplies 4 speakers in the corners of the hall.

There is a box of electronics that eliminates feedback.

An all new induction loop for the hard of hearing is also in this cabinet.

There are 2 radio microphones, a hand held and a lapel version.

There are plans to add a Blue-Ray player so that film nights can be more immersive.

Mobile devices can easily be connected to the Bluetooth receiver for ease of music playing. The Bluetooth device name is Esinkin BT. Press the button on the device that is on top of the cabinet to get it into 'PairMode'. The blue light will flash in pair mode.

There are 2 sockets above the cabinet. One will just turn on the Induction Loop, the other will turn on the amplifier and other boxes.

Projector

 

When the projector is turned on the screen will show the various methods of connection.

The key to lower the projection screen is in the key slot. 2 Switches are needed to be switched on; one to lower the screen and the other to power the projector.

The remote control for the projector is in the smaller locked cabinet.

There is a laptop in the Amplifier cupboard and it will display video and sound via HDMI and wirelessly. You will need to ask to use it.
A PDF user guide for the projector is here.

Any issues encountered call Gary Jackson 07968 561322.

Cabinet keys will be issued to regular users of the AV equipment.


How to use the system
  • Turn on the amplifier at the socket behind the curtain.
  • Switch on the projector and screen using the switches below the screen keys.
  • Lower the screen and turn on the projector using the remote that is kept in the silver box on the wall above the Amp cabinet.
  • A projection on the screen will look like the as in the picture opposite.
  • If you are using the Hall Laptop simply use the HDMI cable from the small box and connect one end to your laptop and thr other into the box at floor level behind the cutain. The laptop will show its screen in duplicate mode.
  • If you want to roam with the laptop it can be connected via WiFi. Right click on the desktop and choose Display Settings, Scroll down to Multiple Displays and in the dropdown box choose Connect To A Wireless Display. Click on Quickshare-a7a3 and start your show.

Connecting an Android Device


Phone or Tablet, scan the QR code on the screen and download the Quickshare software. This is a non Google App and so you will need to know how to install APK files.

Once that is done, open the app and give the phone/tablet the appropriate permissions then return to the Qucickshare App. Select Share Screen followed by either Entire Screen or Specific Apps from the drop down menu.

 

If you want to show the screen from your own PC, it will need to have a fullsize HDMI output slot or be capable of WiFi multiple display. The latter is a recent addition to laptops and many don't have it. There are adapters in the small cabinet but these can't be relied upon to work with all laptops. If you have a laptop with a USBC slot and no WiFi screen sharing then there is a black dongal in the small cabinet that will transmit to the projector. Plug it in and wait for the blue flashing light to go solid blue then press the button. You should  now be able to display your screen.
If you are using anything Apple, then you'll have to know exactly how it interfaces with other equipment as we don't!
There are so many different combinations of hardware, software and protocols, we can't list all eventualities so either ask to use our laptop and bring your presentation on a memory stick or contact us prior so we can set you up in advance so that you know what to do on the day.
Radio Mics
HandHeld One battery should be in the device and the other lose in the bag. Put the second battery in and for the handheld, close the battery compartment then screw the base back on. To turn the Mic on push the white button near the bse of the mic towards the other end. Hold  the pressure on until the white button turns green. The mic is muted when the red under the other switch is showing. Us the swithc to get a green colour and talk.

PLEASE REMOVE 1 BATTERY WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED AND PUT IT IN THE BAG WITH THE MIC.

Put the Mic on your collar and speak normally.

PLEASE REMOVE 1 BATTERY WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED AND PUT IT IN THE BAG WITH THE MIC.

The volume of the microphones has been set inside the amplifier cabinet. There are gain controls on the mic inputs and the overall volume and these need to be kept as they are set and not intererred with. Serious feedback occurs if they are turned  to high.
Use the distance of the Mic to your mouth to affect volume rather than the electronics.
Tippex marks have been added to the amp mixer and the white lines must align.
