Audio Visual Solutions

At Christchurch Communications we are passionate about bringing end-to-end, bespoke audio-visual solutions to business & homes throughout Canterbury.


Whether you are building or renovating, we can elevate your audio-visual experience with solutions from home theatres & outdoor televisions, to conference rooms & hearing loops & everything in between.

Audio visual design is often forgotten or thought about after a build or renovation when in fact, the best time to think about your options is during the initial planning stage. Consideration should be made of the immediate environmental noises, how sound insulated the rooms are, what types of finishes are in the building (do hard floors have soft coverings), essentially, how sound will travel & echo in the space.


Sound evokes a range of emotions & sets the tone of a space & so the quality & clarity of that sound is essential. The spaces we create within our homes can be so much more enjoyable when we utilise clever sound design. Cinema rooms for example require comprehensive sound systems. A room can be transformed into an experience with the use of seamless, unobtrusive architectural & invisible audio solutions.


At Christchurch Communications, we work with our clients to understand how they want their properties & audio-visual systems to function & we take that vision & create bespoke solutions that work within those requirements & budgets.

Get Wired Today For Tomorrow - Future Proofing

For most of us, our property is our biggest asset & considering how to future proof that asset during the planning stage of our new build or renovation is vital to ensure that it works not only now, but into the future.


The benefits of future-proofing a new property are likely to far outweigh the initial outlay as modern & state-of-the-art technologies will become everyday expectations in tomorrow’s build.


We often return to sites which have been finished where future-proofing has not been considered, to put in additional connections or improve the Wi-Fi. We can meet with you & provide free advice at the planning stage, so costs are reduced & flexibility is built in from the beginning. We can cable for future requirements & recommend the appropriate equipment for your security, Wi-Fi, audio & visual needs.


Home automation setups, such as Fibaro, can be applied in new or existing buildings to provide future-proofing for the coming revolution in smart appliances, whether it’s automatic heating, lights or remote monitoring.

“Excellent service, high quality of workmanship & very responsive. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!”

Hearing Loops

Hearing Loops are used in public buildings where sound amplification is used. People with a hearing disability who use a hearing aid can tune into the audio loop providing their hearing aid has a telecoil. 90% of all hearing aids now sold in NZ have a + telecoil.


This same technology is used in telephones & mobile phones to increase hearing. A hearing (audio) loop is a special copper braid laid under the floor or in the walls of a room connected to a specialist amplifier which in turn is connected to the source sound e.g. cinema theatre sound system. People inside this electromagnetic loop can pick up the pure sound with no background noise.

The Building Act 2004 requires that new or extensively renovated public buildings be accessible for hearing impaired people by having an assistive listening system installed. This includes:



  • Public buildings with space for at least 250 people
  • All theatres, cinemas, public halls and
  • Assembly spaces in old people’s homes occupied by more than 20 people


Christchurch Communications install hearing loops to comply with NZ requirements. If your building needs a hearing loop, speak to the team for a free quotation.
