The Lone Star group

​Clarity director has enjoyed a sixteen-year relationship with the Lone Star franchise.
​The franchisee owner of the new Alexandra Park Lone Star was needing a sound, visual and security camera systems. After servicing and providing solutions for seven other Lone Star’s, Mark knew exactly what solutions would compliment their brand and client environment. “I can confidently say that if you were to contract Clarity for an installation you will get a great result and a finely tuned sound at its completion,” Andrew Jackson, Music co-ordinator Lone Star Franchise. 

The Edgar Centre, Dunedin.   

Clarity aims high and scores.
​The brief for this stadium was to cover 18 basketball courts with clear audible sound for players and spectators. The Edgar Centre is a vast building with a challenging acoustic so building on the success of using the Indesign Music Horns at Westport Stadium, these speakers were used in a tailormade design for Edgar. Consideration had to be made to work around customer use of the building with minimum interference on business. Over 1000 meters of cable and many up and downs on the scissor lift later, Ryan and Mark had the stadium humming and the clarity of the sound impressed the manager and customer alike. 

Primary and high schools.   

Clarity has grown in reputation over the last few years, for delivering AV services to schools, on budget, on time and with easy to operate solutions. Clarity recognises dilemmas schools face between need and cost. That is why with our recent school AV projects Clarity put time and effort into sourcing the right equipment for each project, which could deliver in both function and cost.
Our recent school projects include Columba College, Tokomairiro High School, Greymouth High school, Abbotsford School. Some of the projects were small with TVs in various spaces, projectors, and others larger with sound systems, lighting and more. For example, Greymouth High School has had a whole new hall Audio Visual system, including TVs , audio processing with radio mic’s and touch screen control. A hall projector and touch screen control. A new Optima laser short throw projector in the little theatre with a basic sound system and new cameo, LED full colour fresnels. 

St Patrick’s Basilica, Oamaru.   

​This iconic Roman Renaissance Francis Petre building needed extra care.
Built out of the legendary Oamaru stone, was equipped with a latest d&b audiotechnik sound system and Epson projection, in 2021. Working with NAS Solutions, Mark Patterson led this ambitious project which needed to cater for pulpit sermons, wireless microphones for musicians and choir, projection for congregation needs, capturing it all on live stream and for equipment to blend in with 100-year-old stonework. Incredible clarity of sound in speech presenting and music play, along with meters of cabling, projectors, and speakers becoming almost invisible, are the key outcomes.

Pulse Energy Recreation Center, Westport.   

​Manager Phoebe was recommended to contact Clarity through Sport Tasman as there was a tight budget to work from in rejuvenating their whole centre’s sound system.
​The swimming pool area, stadium area with dual multipurpose sports courts were equipped with Indesign Music Horns and the fitness centre was fitted with Sound Tube speakers and the gym speakers got a new amplifier. The whole system is controlled via the English brand Cloud’s DCM1E, a digital multizone control system. When the speakers in the stadium were fired up, Phoebe was over the moon with the result. 

Christchurch Anglican Cathedral Restoration  

Picture
Clarity was honoured to consult on a national icon. ​
​Clarity director Mark was absolutely thrilled to be given the contract to provide consultation for audio visual services on the restoration project of the national iconic Christchurch Anglican Cathedral. Mark has a personal long-standing relationship with the Cathedral and its community since playing its pipe organ as a young organ scholar and being part of the choir. 
Clarity provided design proposals that were accepted, however
unfortunately the Cathedral re build is stalled and work has ceased. Clarity hopes a solution can be found.
