A hospitality AV brief starts with the way your venue operates. Different areas may need different music, screens and volume settings, while staff need clear controls for daily service and events. Masters Voice Technology helps pubs, clubs, hotels, restaurants and function venues plan technology around these requirements.
Use this page to define operating needs, staff responsibilities and ongoing support. For a new fit-out or equipment upgrade, explore our specialist ACCAV venue AV installation services.
Identify your trading hours, event schedule, public areas, outdoor spaces and function rooms. Note which sources each area needs, who controls them and what staff should be able to change during a shift. Include existing faults and any disruption that the venue can accommodate.
Venue projects can combine audio visual, licensed electrical work, communications cabling, control programming and ongoing support through one accountable team. This is particularly valuable when upgrades involve new displays, amplifiers, network switches, equipment racks, power circuits or data infrastructure. Explore our commercial electrical services and commercial electrical maintenance for Sydney facilities.
Systems are commissioned around the way the venue operates, including staff access, trading hours, event modes, sports viewing, background music, live performance and after-hours support requirements.
Typical hospitality solutions include multi-zone background and foreground audio, sports-bar display distribution, large-format displays and LED video walls, AV over IP, outdoor and weather-resistant speakers, function-room presentation systems, wireless microphones, DJ and live-performance inputs, digital signage and central control.
For larger venues, networked audio and video can simplify distribution between bars, restaurants, function rooms, terraces and back-of-house areas while allowing each zone to operate independently.

Agree the tasks staff perform at opening, during service, between events and at closing. These might include choosing music, routing a sports feed, using a microphone or resetting a function room for the next booking.
Define which controls belong at the bar, reception or function space and which settings should remain restricted to authorised users. Include training for new staff and an accessible operating guide in the handover scope.
Share the venue calendar, quiet periods, delivery access and areas that must remain operational. Agree which work can be staged and which tasks require a planned interruption. Identify who approves changes and confirms the venue is ready to resume normal operation.
Define the contact route for faults, the information staff should record and the agreed escalation process. Attendance windows, remote access, spare equipment and maintenance visits depend on the service scope. Explore AV support and managed services for ongoing operation.

Yes. A properly designed system can provide independent audio sources, levels and display control for bars, restaurants, function rooms, outdoor areas and back-of-house zones while retaining central management.
Often yes. Existing equipment can be assessed and retained where it remains suitable, compatible and serviceable. This can reduce unnecessary replacement during an upgrade.
Support arrangements can be tailored to the venue, including remote diagnostics, preventative maintenance, onsite fault response and planned system refresh.
Tell us about your venue type, trading hours, existing equipment, audio zones, staff controls and event requirements. Include preferred access windows and any recurring faults.
