Case Study:
Congham Hall, Norfolk

Congham Hall Norfolk - Reception & Communal Areas by CGA Integration

Outline

Congham Hall, holder of three AA red stars and 2 AA rosettes is a privately owned Georgian Manor set in the heart of the beautiful Norfolk countryside. The hotel, which is set within 30 acres of gracious parkland and extensive gardens, blends elegance and luxury with modern amenities and is complemented by a stunning spa and swimming pool. As part of an extensive refurbishment by new owners, CGA Integration was appointed to design and install sound systems across the new bar & restaurant, lounges and spa.

Challenges

It was essential that the sound systems reflected the luxury bespoke feel of the newly refurbished Congham Hall; delivering superior sound whilst blending seamlessly into the surroundings. The sound systems needed to be flexible as rooms have many different uses depending on time of day or occasion, easily operated by the staff and allow for speeches at private hire events.

Technical

Ease of staff control of the sound systems was delivered through cloud RL1 controls mounted behind the bar and in strategic positions within the restaurant. Amplification was delivered throughout the bar, restaurant and lounges by installing EV Evid ceiling speakers; generating maximum sound quality with minimum visual impact.

To allow for speeches during venue private hire and events, CGA fitted a Sennheiser G3 hand held radio microphone system with installed aerials and a rechargeable battery system, to ensure that a microphone was ready for use whenever it is needed.

Response

Nicolas Dickinson Director at Congham Hall Hotel commented; “I met Chris at Independent Hotel 12 and was impressed with his portfolio. Having worked throughout the luxury hotel sector at acclaimed venues such as Chewton Glen and Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons I wanted an AV company that could help me to deliver the superior quality experience I want to offer our guests at Congham Hall and CGA have helped us to achieve this.”
