Sound
The Memorial Hall, together with Henley in Arden Drama Society have recently invested thousands of pounds in a brand new PA system - firmly cementing the Memorial Hall, Henley in Arden as being the best choice for any event.
We have a fixed PA system, which is included for use with hire packages, this consists of:
1 x Easy to use Mixer, to adjust volumes and sound balance
1 x 3.5mm Auxiliary input - play music direct from your laptop or MP3 Player
1 x Bluetooth / DAB / CD Player with USB & SD input
4 x PA Speakers in the main hall
1 x Power Conditioner for crystal clear sound quality
We also have 2 professional-grade wireless microphones available for a small additional fee. We have one handheld microphone and one clip-on microphone available, saving you ££'s on external hire fees (batteries included)
The entire setup is a professional-grade system - it will be sure to make your event heard - and get your message across!
WIFI
Free, open Wi-Fi is available throughout the memorial hall building. Troubleshooting and further information here.
PROJECTOR
There is a high definition projector and drop down screen (approx 400"), which is integrated with the sound PA system, and can be connected via HDMI, there is also a Blu-Ray player.
STAGE
If your event requires the use of the stage, then subject to availability the stage can be draped in black, and then you can dress to suit your event.
The floor is hardboard - and there is a trap door down stage centre.
The stage is equipped with standard low-bay lighting fixtures to provide a wash of light across the stage. Theatre lighting can be hired at an additional cost (see below)
The stage has 4x13A sockets, (32A max shared with the sound system) For an additional fee extra power for lighting (6x 32A CEEFORM) can be provided (fed from a 3 phase supply - see below for details)
HIRE OF HADS' EQUIPMENT
Over the past 60 years - the resident dramatic society (HADS) have invested thousands of pounds in lighting infrastructure and equipment. A considerable amount of time is spent maintaining and upgrading the equipment - and expanding when funds allow - HADS is a non-profit organisation.
Currently HADS have available at the memorial hall, 36 lighting channels - controllable from a DMX lighting controller either at the rear of the hall, or on stage. Alternatively a 6 channel manual control can be used on stage.
There is a FOH bar, and two FOH side booms, and also 5 on stage bars, with booms in the rear corners of the stage.
A selection of lighting equipment is available for hire including:
9 x Profiles (Strand Quartets / Strand Patt23's 650W - 500W)
15 x Fresnel units (various types 500W - 650W)
2 x 1KW PAR64
2 x 500W PAR64
4 x ETC Source 4 PAR EAs (575W and 750W)
4 x 500W floods (asymmetrical and symmetrical)
Selection of Gobos - Gels (colours) to suit your event
Not all equipment is stored in the hall; or may already be rigged as part of an upcoming show. Subject to availability.
If you want to add some pizzaz to your event, then the right theatrical lighting can make all the difference - for a small fee HADS will send a member of their technical team down on the morning of your event, and will rig and focus any of the lighting requirements you have - if you have a competent operator who both parties are comfortable with then you can operate your show and safely shut down the system afterwards (basic training will be offered) or a member of HADS' technical team can operate the lights during your show / rehearsal.
Working with high voltage 3 phase power systems, can be very dangerous.
The guide price is:
- Setup and training only: £30
- Setup and operation £30 + £25/ph
