Commercial AV Installation in
Manchester.
Core Comms designs and installs commercial AV across Manchester and Greater Manchester: boardrooms, classrooms, Teams Rooms, training rooms and lecture spaces for offices, schools, universities, healthcare practices and venues. One team handles the design, cabling, hardware installation, programming and staff training, quoted as a single fixed price.
Commercial AV for Manchester Offices, Schools & Venues.
Manchester has more meeting rooms per square mile than anywhere else we work, and no two buildings behave the same. Glass-walled floors in Spinningfields and St Peter’s Square bounce audio until speech intelligibility collapses. Converted mills in Ancoats and the Northern Quarter have exposed brick, high ceilings and nowhere obvious to run a cable. Corporate campuses in Trafford Park and MediaCityUK want fleets of identical rooms that behave identically. We survey the room before we specify anything, and we design AV that works in the building it is actually going into.
The goal on every install is the same: joining the meeting is one tap, sharing your screen is one cable or one wireless code, and nobody in the room ever has to think about inputs. Where the room itself will fight the audio, whether through hard floors, glass or exposed services, we quote acoustic treatment with the AV rather than letting you find out after handover.
Boardroom AV.
Boardroom installs are the bulk of our Manchester work: professional services firms around Spinningfields and Deansgate, and companies moving into new space who have inherited a wall-mounted TV and a webcam balanced on top of it.
A boardroom that works handles three jobs equally well: in-person presentations, hybrid Teams or Zoom calls, and a visitor sharing content from their own laptop. We size the display to the table, with dual displays for content-and-people layouts in bigger rooms, fit ceiling microphone arrays with echo cancellation, set camera framing that tracks the speaker, and program a tabletop control panel so the room drives itself. It is the same end-to-end approach as the rest of our boardroom AV work, with design, cabling, install, commissioning and training as one project.
Classroom AV.
Greater Manchester’s education estate is enormous, spanning schools, colleges, four universities and a dense training-provider sector, and classroom AV needs different things to boardroom AV: durability, simplicity, and a room any teacher can pick up cold.
We install classroom touchscreens from Promethean, SMART, Clevertouch and Samsung across schools and colleges in Greater Manchester, replacing ageing projector-and-whiteboard setups with 75 to 86 inch interactive panels that are brighter and sharper, with no lamp costs and no shadow over the board. For corporate training rooms we add wireless presentation (Barco, Mersive, ScreenBeam) so every trainer can present without hunting for a dongle, and for universities we design lecture capture around the platform the institution already runs.
Video Conferencing in Manchester.
Most of the video conferencing work we quote in Manchester is hybrid-working upgrades: rooms designed for in-person meetings being rebuilt to work equally well on a call. We install certified hardware from Yealink, Logitech, Poly and Crestron, and there is more on the full service on our Teams Rooms installation page.
Microsoft Teams Rooms
Native Teams Rooms installation with one-tap join, calendar integration and the interface your staff already know from desktop Teams. Teams Rooms Basic for huddle spaces; Teams Rooms Pro, with speaker tracking, auto-framing and Front Row layouts, for boardrooms and large hybrid rooms. For multi-room offices we standardise the fleet so every room works the same way.Zoom Rooms
Where the wider organisation runs on Zoom, we install Zoom Rooms-certified hardware rather than forcing Teams kit to cope. Same one-tap experience, Zoom-native.Hybrid Meeting Setups
For organisations on neither platform, or on both, we build rooms that handle Teams, Zoom, Webex and Google Meet without bias, including bring-your-own-device rooms where the presenter’s laptop drives the call through room-grade camera and audio.Projectors and Interactive Displays.
Some Manchester rooms still want a projector: lecture theatres, auditoriums, event venues and conference spaces where only a 150-inch-plus image will do. We install laser projectors, with a 20,000-hour light source, instant on and no lamp swaps, alongside motorised screens and ceiling mounting so the kit vanishes when it is not needed. For everything smaller, interactive flat panels usually win on brightness, clarity and running cost. There is full detail on our boardroom projectors page.
Manchester Areas We Serve.
We install commercial AV across Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area. We also provide IT support in Manchester, so one supplier covers the meeting room and the network it runs on.
Recent Manchester AV Projects.
Recent Greater Manchester work includes hybrid boardroom fit-outs in city-centre offices, training-room installs in Trafford Park, and classroom touchscreen rollouts for schools across the region. An AV room is only as reliable as what sits behind the wall plate, so these projects usually run with data cabling in Manchester and, where wireless presentation and Teams traffic share the floor, a WiFi site survey in Manchester before the kit is specified.
We install commercial AV across the North West and West Yorkshire. If your rooms are elsewhere, see commercial AV installation in Liverpool or commercial AV installation in Leeds.
