In the heart of Bloemfontein, right in the center actually, a technological transformation has taken place, fundamentally enhancing the conferencing experience at this renowned venue. The cornerstone of this overhaul is the Taiden Conference Microphone System, a solution that has not only met but exceeded expectations.

The Bosch CCS 800 and CCS 900 Conferencing/Discussion system was created with one goal in mind – simplicity. In that aspect, it succeeded. The system, when using the main unit, can be very straightforward:
We recently finished, what in our eyes, is one of the most interesting projects to date. Not taking anything away from our line array installs, 200 seater 7.2 surround sound movie theatre installations, or the complex video and audio routing we do with conference systems.
The Martie du Plessis School for learners with special needs recently commissioned the construction of two new classrooms and two fully-fledged workshops at their premises in Fichardt Park, Bloemfontein. With the school's expansion, we had the opportunity to enhance their existing 90-classroom 2-way (Talk Back) intercom system.
We added an additional sub-card to their SLSI-80 system, which expanded their classroom count by another 16 intercom channels.
We recently completed this gem. This is a sound and projector install we did for a customer in Bloemfontein. Not only is the roof very high, the space, acoustically challenging and the ceiling completely sealed off with Knotty-Pine, finding rigging points (blindly from above the ceiling) in the correct places to aim the PA’s has proven quite challenging indeed and we had to move-on from the “normal” way to get it right.

De Aar Regional Hospital
On the 15th of April 2010, Ms. Hazel Jenkins, the Premier of the Northern Cape Province, and Mr. Mxolisi Sokatsha, the MEC for Health in the province, laid the first brick at the new Regional Hospital in De Aar. At that time, my customer contacted us to assist with the design and procurement of an audio-visual and conferencing system for the main meeting venue, as well as the cafeteria and smaller venues in the complex.
Malls Sound and Display Installations in South Africa - Free State and Northern Cape.
Every year, from October to November, we experience a surge in orders for installing various retail sound systems, restaurant audio, and sports display screens. During this time, we're bustling with activity, setting up retail shopfronts in new malls or rapidly revamping existing shops to prepare for the significant increase in business over the December period. It's our favorite time of the year.
When our customer approached us to design, install, and maintain (under an SLA agreement with a minimum on-site time) a sound system for an institution they were rebuilding as part of a tender, we immediately embraced the opportunity. We sat down with them to gather specifications and timelines. Their requirement was simple: to supply and install a cost-effective solution capable of covering a large group of people in a spacious hall with minimal complexity. The primary use for the sound systems would be speech reproduction, with music accounting for a smaller portion of the workload.
We recently completed the installation of a 100V public address sound system at the Union Tiles Depot in Bloemfontein. The retail floor spans approximately 900 square meters with minimal sound absorption, leading to potential high volume and a tinny sound quality. Our objective was to fill the space with audible yet subdued music, breaking the silence without disrupting the extensive and detailed consultation and ordering processes. To achieve this, we utilised a combination of DSPPA DSP 8062, MP610, and DSP 8011 speakers and amplifiers.

Moving your business or setting a new beauty salon can be a daunting task. We originally specified these speakers and amplifier at this Bloemfontein based salon, and now, some years later we were asked to remove and re-install the complete sound system at their new premises, creating again, the relaxing atmosphere associated with messages and day spa’s.
We had the opportunity today, again, to do work for our long time customer (originally from Welkom) Artic Electric (Artic Digital and Artic Lifestyle in Bloemfontein). They are the best in the business when it comes to Home and Industrial Airconditioning as well as Home Appliances, Furniture and Home Theatre – the place we and Artic partner up in Bloemfontein
When we first got the request to get involved with CBC’s (Christian Brothers College) in Bloemfontein’, quad sound system we didn’t have any information apart from a few photos of the aria,
and a general description of what they needed, and wanted to accomplish with speech in their quad aria. What we did, and how it worked in the end, is quite special, I think.
We suggested - “Option One” – six, DSPPA DSP455 – 60W RMS, 100V, Outdoor IP66 rated speakers, each with an individual speaker cable attached to it. This gives us level control over each individual speaker which in turn makes it very easy to adjust the rear speakers,
Installing a sound system – more to the point - committing to a brand of sound system over a couple of stores - is one of the most important decisions you must make as a franchisee. The DSPPA, TOA, BOSE, (JBL?) and lately Ellies brands have proven themselves repeatedly as reliable partners over many stores and many years. It is very important to have one set of speakers for your ceiling mounted stores and, one set of speakers for your wall mounted, or plastic box type stores preferably all the same brands.
Adding a subwoofer to your current sound system does a few things to your venue and audience.
First, it drops the level your audience perceive the music to be playing at. Adding more fidelity to a sound system makes the experience more pleasurable to all that listens to it,
Placing a screen outside your store is a unique way of grabbing the attention of passersby.
Repairing and maintaining your sound, projector, display or AV system can be much easier than you think. As time goes by, you’ll see that systematically cables build up at your F.O.H (Front of House) position, or rodents and mechanical wear make your snake / multicore more vulnerable to al sorts of hums, buzzes and dead channels. Projectors become dirty and might experience overheating issues or simply switch off with filter warnings and displays might have ghosting images imprinted on the screens or will simply not connect to the content suppliers AP (Access Point) anymore.

A Small project, but a noteworthy result. We were tasked by altering the acoustics of a small training facility in Bloemfontein. The challenge came from two interlinked problems.. 1. The training center get really loud, when eight adult men get into a discussion, nobody can hear a thing. The sound would just bounce off the smooth walls and Eco for ages, and the louder you talk the worst the problem became, and 2. Mounted Cameras with on

Look at this beautiful School Hall Project.. JBL EON 615 powered speakers and an Epson EH-TW 710 Projector, very high roof but then again, that’s what we do.
