East High School is interested in installing an audio and video system in its Career Center. Contractors are to provide a professionally engineered audio-visual sound system, equipped with the latest audio-visual and control technology — all of which will be provided and installed by the contractor. As part of the system, three (3) commercial-grade flat-panel TVs will be supplied and installed in key locations within the Career Center as determined by site administration. These displays must support full HD or 4K resolution and be compatible with the integrated AV control system. Each TV will be mounted using secure commercial-grade mounts appropriate for wall or ceiling installation, depending on the selected locations. Each wall input plate will allow connection to all TVs in each area or operate independently through a digital media switcher. The library audio inputs will be channeled through a new audio amplifier to new ceiling-mounted speakers strategically installed in the ceiling for optimal sound. The contractor will supply and install a Touch Panel for controls on all audio and visual components. The control panel will be installed at a specific location determined by the school site administration. The control system will supply all the display controls, video routing, as well as controlling the audio system volume. The contractor will professionally program all settings, EQ ranges, for optimum sound quality. The control system, the digital signal processor, amplifier, and microphones will all be installed inside a new contractor-provided and contractor-installed Middle Atlantic equipment rack. The equipment rack will have a locking plexiglass front door and a storage drawer. Two wireless microphones will be contractor-provided and contractor-installed, along with any other necessary equipment to support presentations and events within the room. Contractor is to provide and install an ALS (Assistive Listening System) transmitter and a minimum number of receivers to accommodate 4 percent of the total room’s occupancy. This audio/video system is to be integrated with each other and delivered as a fully operational, ready-to-use system upon completion.
