Published requirement description

The project involves the replacement of the outdated sound system in the Main Hall with a modern, efficient solution. This includes restoring full functionality of the venue’s sound system to meet event demands, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards through the reinstatement of the hearing loop system, and introducing enhanced audio capabilities to support high-profile performances and outdoor events.
