TVC Technology Solutions is proud to have delivered a full audiovisual transformation for Bakers No9, a vibrant and popular pub located in the heart of Stockton-on-Tees.
As part of the venue’s refurbishment, the TVC team designed and installed a complete, future-proof AV system built around Samsung 4K hospitality displays, Peerless wall mounting solutions, and a powerful, multi-zone Audac audio system. Every component was selected to enhance the environment, enrich customer experience and provide Bakers No9 with dependable, easy-to-manage technology that supports its daily operation.
From the ground-floor bar to the first-floor sports and social spaces, Bakers No9 needed an AV solution capable of delivering bright, engaging visuals and consistent, high-quality sound. The pub caters to a wide audience—sports fans, weekend social groups, daytime customers and evening entertainment—and required technology that could adapt seamlessly to each part of the day. Working from detailed plans, TVC designed a fully integrated solution tailored to the layout, acoustics and viewing lines of the venue.
A key part of the upgrade was the installation of multiple Samsung 4K hospitality televisions in a range of sizes, including 75-inch and 55-inch models positioned in prime viewing locations. These displays bring immediate benefits to Bakers No9, offering exceptional brightness and clarity that ensure live sports, promotional content and entertainment remain crisp and vibrant even in busy, well-lit bar environments. The 4K resolution enhances the visual experience for customers, while Samsung’s hospitality platform provides the management team with reliable, commercial-grade performance supported by a three-year warranty. For a venue like Bakers No9, where live sports are a major driver of footfall and dwell time, the upgrade to Samsung’s hospitality series ensures that customers enjoy the best possible viewing experience from every angle.
To present the screens cleanly and securely, TVC installed robust Peerless flat wall brackets, chosen for their durability, low profile and ability to position each display precisely where it has the greatest impact. Bakers No9 benefits directly from this approach: the mounting system ensures that every screen is clearly visible without intruding on the pub’s décor or obstructing customer walkways. The brackets also allow for maintenance access when required, giving the venue long-term flexibility without sacrificing aesthetics. The end result is a modern, streamlined presentation that elevates the look and feel of the space.
Complementing the visual upgrade, Bakers No9 received a comprehensive Audac loudspeaker system, carefully positioned to deliver rich, even sound throughout the venue. Audac V108 200W loudspeakers and X6 80W speakers were selected for their clarity and power, while Audac 12-inch subwoofers add depth and impact—ideal for evening music, weekend functions and televised events. The system is designed to ensure customers experience consistent audio quality whether they are sitting at the bar, relaxing in rear seating areas or enjoying the first-floor sports zones. For Bakers No9, this means the sound remains clear during sports commentary, comfortable during daytime ambience and powerful when the venue transitions into a lively night-time setting.
The technology is further strengthened by Audac’s DSP-enabled amplification and a multi-zone control system, giving the Bakers No9 team the ability to manage volume levels and audio inputs independently across different areas of the pub. This flexibility is essential in a venue with multiple customer zones, enabling quieter settings for dining or conversation and higher energy levels in sports or entertainment areas. The improved control helps Bakers No9 always maintain the perfect atmosphere.
All displays and audio systems are unified through a central WyreStorm distribution and control system, which makes managing the venue’s AV both simple and efficient. Staff can quickly switch between live sports channels, adjust local content, and manage all screens without needing to move between zones. For Bakers No9, this centralised approach greatly reduces staff workload during peak trading periods and ensures consistent delivery of high-quality entertainment throughout the day. Behind the scenes, HDBaseT Cat6 cabling, optical audio feeds and HDMI distribution ensure that video and sound signals remain strong and reliable, eliminating dropouts and maintaining professional-grade performance.
