Hatfield swim centre gets sound and lighting upgrade

Clarity SLV (Clarity in Sound, Light and Vision) has just commissioned the second stage of an LED lighting installation at a Hertfordshire swimming centre.

In early 2006, The Finesse Leisure Partnership, which manages the Hatfield Swim Centre for Welwyn Hatfield Council, completed a £750,000 council-funded refurbishment of the technical infrastructure for the local authority.

This included the specification and installation by integrators Clarity in Sound, Light and Vision of 12 of Pulsar’s ChromaFlood 200 fixtures, each containing a combination of 66 Red, Green and Blue LEDs.

Eighteen months on and in keeping with Finesse's plan to double the site's complement of Pulsar fixtures once it had received its Carbon Trust Grant, Clarity has completed the installation of a further 12 ChromaFlood 200s which have been divided into arcs of six at either end of the pool.

The lighting is driven from a Pulsar Masterpiece Replay 216, with an OS1 Outstation compact 12 Button, 54-channel DMX programmable control desk.

There are over 40 scenes programmed into the controller, ranging from gentle crossfades to static presets - including one all-white.

Clarity SLV was also involved in installing a new four-zone sound system at the Centre in 2006, combining such areas as the expanded Fitness Room, Reception and Health Spa and using large quantities of QSC AD-C152T ceiling speakers and multi-channel amplifiers.

At the beginning of this year the company returned to fit four QSC AD-S82s in the dance studio, for local use by the aerobics instructors.

Finally, last month saw them fitting the main pool area with four QSC AD-S282HT transformer version loudspeakers, powered by a QSC CX1202V 2 x 800 watt, 100V line amplifier. At the same time the network was increased to an 8-zone system.
