For Speakers

A few notes so that you know what to expect.


As an after dinner speaker you may be wondering what facilities are available and what the room looks like.

Audio


We have an audio system to amplify our speakers. You will have a radio mic and belt pack that enables you to be mobile and talk freely without being constrained by cables.

Notes on the microphone:

  • It works slightly better on your left lapel. The speaking podium is to the right of the screen, so most speakers turn their heads to the left slightly when referring to the screen.
  • Rule of thumb is one "fist" distance from your chin
  • The metal clip is fairly sharp be careful not to damage your tie / lapel / blouse with it. 



Visuals

There is a ceiling projector with VGA and HDMI connectors.

Please check that your laptop or other device is compatible.

We have a speaker podium that has space for your laptop.

The AV cables run to the wall and allow some scope for moving the podium.
