Testimonial
“I want to thank the guys at Old Barn Audio for doing such a great job with the install. Removing the old rig was always going to be a daunting task and you guys did a great job working in getting that down. As with this kind of project there were changes made throughout. It was great that you were able to accommodate these as it was important for us to get the aesthetic right for the space.
When Old Barn Audio brought in the Martin Audio WPC system for testing we were very impressed with the depth and clarity it offered. At Norwich Arts Centre, we needed a system that would cater for a diverse range of artists so we needed something both flexible and powerful.
We have been working closely with Old Barn Audio throughout the install to achieve the best possible outcome and they have been great in helping us achieve this.”

For churches and heritage sites, Old Barn Audio brings extensive experience in working with period buildings. With over 350 installations in places of worship, the team understands the acoustic and structural considerations that come with these unique buildings.
Sound
At the heart of what Old Barn Audio does is sound. Whether it’s delivering crystal-clear speech in a place of worship, immersive live audio for a performance venue, or tailored multi-room music in a home, the team knows how to make sound work beautifully in any location.
Every venue has its own acoustic fingerprint, and Old Barn Audio takes the time to understand it. From the moment they step foot on site, the engineers consider the shape of the room, the materials used in the build, and how the space will be used. This attention to detail means no two systems are ever the same – they’re custom-designed to get the very best out of each venue.
Our audio installation work has covered many aspects of the audio spectrum. We have supplied and installed professional sound systems into many different genres of venue. From nightclubs to karaoke bars, from stadiums to Art Centres. Churches are a major part of the business – our reputation is spreading far and wide. Our knowledge of working within period buildings is extensive and we have installed in over 350 houses of worship to date.
Typical sound installations include:
Live performance venues: Robust PA systems that handle everything from spoken word to full bands, with sound evenly distributed across the venue.
Churches and historic buildings: Discreet speaker placement and tailored EQ settings to cope with natural reverberation and ensure speech is intelligible throughout.
Sports facilities and stadiums: Systems that deliver consistent coverage and high output, built to endure the elements.
Hospitality venues: Background music and paging systems, zoned for control and convenience.
Private homes: High-end audio tailored to suit interior design, whether for entertainment spaces or entire-home coverage.
Every system installed by Old Barn Audio goes through a full commissioning process, which includes tuning, testing and calibration. This ensures the system performs exactly as intended – balanced, reliable and clear.
The team also works closely with clients post-installation to provide training on how to get the best from their system. From a simple volume control to managing multiple zones and inputs, users are always left with a system they feel confident using.
Our aim is simple – ‘to produce excellent sound using quality equipment and experienced engineers’. In our opinion, the only way to work.
Lighting
Lighting can completely transform a space – both in atmosphere and function. Old Barn Audio designs and installs bespoke lighting systems that are every bit as impressive as our sound solutions. From stage and theatrical lighting to subtle ambient setups in churches, restaurants, and homes, we create systems that are practical, intuitive, and visually stunning.
Lighting isn’t just about brightness; it’s about mood, flexibility, and control. That’s why Old Barn Audio takes the time to understand how a space is used. Whether it’s hosting live performances, welcoming worshippers, serving diners, or simply providing a comfortable environment to unwind at home.
Old Barn Audio’s lighting services include:
Stage and theatrical lighting: Intelligent, programmable systems with moving heads, washes, spots, and colour-changing fixtures – ideal for theatres, arts centres and live music venues.
Architectural and ambient lighting: Discreet, energy-efficient systems that complement the space, particularly suited for churches, heritage buildings and function rooms.
Hospitality lighting: Custom solutions for restaurants, bars, and cafes to create an inviting and atmospheric setting, with simple-to-use controls.
Smart lighting for homes: Integrated lighting systems that can be controlled via smartphone, tablet or central touch panel. Set lighting scenes, dim levels, or schedule routines, all with ease.
All lighting designs are bespoke and tailored to suit the aesthetic and acoustic needs of each environment. Where needed, systems can be integrated with audio and video, forming part of a wider automation package.
Installation is carried out by experienced engineers, and systems are thoroughly tested and demonstrated upon handover. Whether it’s a simple lighting upgrade or part of a full AV fit-out, Old Barn Audio ensures every element works seamlessly together.
