Established in 1831, it is a well-respected firm of rural property specialists and livestock auctioneers across the Midlands and Wales. Their latest endeavor? A harmonious symphony of tradition and technology at Carmarthen Livestock Mart—a facility that stands as the most modern and up-to-date livestock market in south and west Wales.
For nearly 12 months, Nock Deighton Auctioneers has been orchestrating a transformative upgrade to the sound system at Carmarthen Mart after coming to us looking to improve their Auction House PA Systems.. Their mission? To enhance the auction experience for buyers, sellers, and livestock enthusiasts alike. Here’s how they’ve fine-tuned the various rooms to ensure a better experience for all attendees.
1. Fixing Broken Speakers
First task was to work with the ND team to look at the the auction sheds, once plagued by silent corners or deafening sound, now resonate with crisper and better audio quality. Our engineers have worked the Carmarthen mart and replaced faulty speakers, ensuring that every corner of the marts various rooms receives the auctioneer’s call with crystal clarity.
2. Tackling Poor Audio Quality
Certain sheds suffered from muffled sound, hindering effective bidding. The solution? our sound engineers meticulously optimized the audio environment by installing better quality speakers, adjusting speaker positioning and also where applicable, upgraded amplifiers to give better equalizer options to fight back some of the ringing from the sheds metal build. Echoes were silenced, and reverberations dampened, allowing attendees to focus on bids without distraction.
Some equipment has seen us upgrading their old speakers for newer TOA CS64 Horn Speakers where distance has been required and where speakers are situated close to the public and general announcements are made, these speakers are the TOA SC-610M. With amplifiers. Putting in TOA and Adastra Amplifiers with built in EQs has helped alleviate some other issues we faced.
3. Auctioneer Comfort and Efficiency
Auctioneers are the maestros of the mart. Nock Deighton prioritised their comfort and ease. The new sound system provides seamless communication, allowing auctioneers to conduct sales with confidence. No more strained voices—just smooth, confident calls. This has comprised of using various lapel, headworn and wireless microphone solutions to suit different auctions that take place within the Carmarthen Mart facility.
4. Keeping Pace with Technology
Staying ahead of the curve, Nock Deighton Agricultural ensures that Carmarthen Mart remains relevant in the digital age. The upgraded system integrates seamlessly with their online auction platform, Mart Eye. Buyers from afar can now participate in real time, hearing the gavel’s decisive strike as if they were ringside.
5. Portable PA System: A Weatherproof Solution
The challenge so far? Providing a portable PA system that withstands the unpredictable Welsh weather. We have been working with the Nock auctioneers for a few weeks now and have come close to solving this puzzle. Soon, auctioneers will wield a lightweight, weather-resistant microphone system that amplifies their voices even amidst rain and wind.
The other key speaker system used at Carmarthen Mart is the vehicle mounted speaker system that allows the auctioneers to drive around the mart grounds during their hugely popular implements and farm machinery sales. We supply a fully customized speaker setup that is mounted into the back of a 4x4 and gives the auctioneer flexibility and mobility. We utilise our top of the range JTS G3TH Headworn mics and wireless receiver combined with Monacor IT-100TW full range music horns gives fantastic audio quality for all the outdoor sales.
Nock Deighton’s commitment to their auctions extends beyond installation. They’ve implemented a proactive maintenance strategy, minimizing system downtime. The result? Increased sales.
