DJW installs new AV system at historic Dorset hotspot

Supplier: DJ Willrich Ltd (DJW)

More DJ Willrich Ltd (DJW) details
AV specialist DJ Willrich (DJW) is helping visitors get closer to nature at one of the South Coast's most historic hotspots.

The Beaulieu-based firm has recently completed an AV installation at the £1m Bournemouth Borough Council-operated Hengistbury Head Visitor Centre in a move aimed at educating people about the historic headland.

Amongst the items fitted were touch screen monitors, study stations and coned speakers, with project lead Mike Hope saying the biggest challenge was fitting the large amount of AV hardware into the relatively small space of the converted barn.

He said: "The size of the building did make various elements of the AV installation a challenge, for example it was difficult to stop sound from speakers spilling out into other areas of the barn. To tackle this problem we installed directional speakers in the ceiling to project the audio over a very specific area only".

The visitor centre - which has a grass roof and walls insulated with straw - features displays, study zones, videos, podcasts, trails, talks, walks and booklets.

It also features wildlife webcams, which stream live footage and audio from various points across the headland onto monitors installed by DJW.

The footage can be recorded for playback on digital video players, so images from active times of the year can be shown when the animals are less active.

Outside the visitor centre, within two courtyards, a 3D model of the headland is displayed and an outdoor LCD screen shows updateable information and details relevant to visiting school groups and activities.

Hengistbury Head incorporates prehistoric earth works and evidence of human occupation dating back to 10,500BC and has been designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

It is home to many plants, birds and insects, some rare and critically endangered and is declared a Local Nature Reserve as well as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
