Project Overview
Kilbreda College, an independent Catholic secondary school for girls in Mentone, Melbourne, has been nurturing students in the Brigidine tradition since 1904. For nearly a decade, DIB Audio Visual has partnered with the College, delivering tailored AV solutions that support teaching, learning, and collaboration across its spaces.
Our most recent project focused on the Kildare Centre, a versatile multipurpose space used for year-level assemblies, fortnightly staff professional learning sessions, and full-day training. While the Centre already featured a projector and screen, the ceiling speakers—installed by others—were not delivering the clarity and coverage needed.
To address this, DIB installed Optimal Audio Cuboid 10 speakers, chosen for their ability to provide consistent, high-quality sound across the room. Running new cabling through the building’s ceiling required careful planning, ensuring the system was both functional and discreet.
Recognising that ease of use is just as important as sound quality, we also integrated an Extron touch control panel and a Bluetooth receiver. This intuitive setup allows staff to adjust microphones and audio sources directly at the panel, without needing to access the rack. Each time the system powers on, it resets to preset levels—avoiding unexpected volume spikes and ensuring presentations run smoothly.
With this upgrade, the Kildare Centre now has a dependable, user-friendly audio system that enhances communication, supports collaboration, and ensures every voice—whether student or staff—is heard clearly.
