Audiovisual Technology in Weesp

Audiovisual productions in Weesp by HuurAV

Weesp has a character of its own within the municipality of Amsterdam. This fortified town on the Vecht has a compact historic centre with canals and listed buildings, while new residential districts and business activity have grown up around its edges. That contrast between old and new shapes how we set up a production: a hall in a monument calls for a different approach than a modern business space. HuurAV works here from its home base at the Zeeburgerpad in Amsterdam and takes care of the entire audiovisual side of an event, from the technical design and the build to operation during the programme and the tear-down afterwards. Our technicians stay on site, so there is always someone at the controls who knows the setup.

Events that take place in Weesp

The scale of Weesp keeps its events personal and manageable. In the centre and the hospitality venues along the Vecht, people hold anniversaries, receptions and private celebrations, while the growing business activity around the station and the industrial estates brings entrepreneurs together for meetings. For business audiences we take care of corporate events and presentations and conferences, where a clear image and intelligible sound make the difference. Festive occasions such as parties and company parties and a wedding by the water come up regularly in Weesp, and organisers increasingly want to involve guests joining remotely.

Venues and buildings in and around Weesp

The spaces in Weesp vary widely. Think of listed halls and hospitality venues in the historic core around the Nieuwstraat, atmospheric locations right on the Vecht and the forts of the former defence line that lend themselves to distinctive gatherings. Around the edges you will find modern offices and industrial halls on the estates by the railway, with ample space and power. A historic building often has limited access and a setting more sensitive to sound, while an outdoor location along the water calls for a weatherproof build and a well-considered power plan. We record these points in the technical plan in advance, including extra power distribution where it is needed.

Frequently requested AV solutions

Most productions in Weesp bring several disciplines together into a coherent whole. For music and intelligibility we provide the sound, for atmosphere and dressing the lighting, for presentations and image capture the video and, for a highlight, the special effects. It is precisely the balance between these elements that determines how an event comes across.

• Sound: compact speaker sets for halls and hospitality venues or a line array for larger spaces, with wireless microphones and monitoring for speakers, bands or a booked DJ.
• Lighting: stage and mood lighting, uplighting that dresses a plain hall and moving light that follows the programme.
• Video: large screens or projection and cameras with vision mixing, suitable for presentations, aftermovies and a livestream.
• Special effects: haze, low fog, confetti and sparkulars, deployed precisely at the moments that need to stand out.

Accessibility, build and tear-down

The distance of about 18 kilometres between Amsterdam and Weesp is easy to manage. We load at the Zeeburgerpad and drive via the A1 towards the Weesp exit, after which the destination is quick to reach. The industrial estates on the edge are spaciously laid out, which makes loading and unloading easier, while venues in the compact centre call for coordination of the access route and the loading and unloading times because of the narrower streets and the bridges. We plan the build well ahead of the start, test all the technology thoroughly and, during the event, a technician stays on hand for operation and oversight. Afterwards comes a tidy and swift tear-down, even when it falls late in the evening. For anyone who wants to involve remote participants, we are happy to combine the technology into hybrid events and livestreams.
