Dawn Capital

A premium AV solution supporting high-level meetings and presentations within a fast-paced venture capital environment.

Why MVS was brought in

MVS had installed the AV at Dawn Capital’s previous office and we were trusted with designing and installing an AV solution for the new office.

The location in Soho has stunning views across London and the interior fit-out is sumptuous. Our brief was to design the best and most innovative AV solution available.

Neat was selected as the primary vendor due to its market-leading, built-in AI-camera and room sensor technology, not to mention its Scandi -design which beautifully complements the meeting spaces.

Zoom is the preferred video conference platform and so we have installed native Zoom Rooms, but have provided both wired and wireless access for content sharing and joining other VC calls.

Four handheld Sennheiser microphones provide local voice-lift reinforcement via the ceiling speakers.

Neat Pad Zoom Room booking system at Dawn Capital

Room booking

Neat Pad Zoom Rooms booking panels are fitted throughout and show room availability status (retrieved from internal Exchange/O365 calendars), and can schedule ad-hoc meetings for available time slots on the present day.

Users may also use Outlook to book available meeting spaces and, in turn, the panels will show on the front that the room has been reserved.

 

QSC speakers and Sennheiser microphones in the acoustically treated celling at Dawn Capital

Acoustics

A clay render finish on the walls is a beautiful feature, but also aids good acoustics.

However, some stylish acoustic treatments, including this ceiling treatment, ensure good audio and hence great meeting experiences, especially for participants dialling in remotely.

 

What Dawn Capital can do now

Dawn Capital’s office move was the result of business growth. Their work spans Europe and MVS equipped their spaces with the best AV solutions to enable Dawn Capital’s people to productively collaborate with each other and their clients wherever they may be.

“We were delighted to Partner with MVS again for our new office. They demonstrated incredible diligence and professionalism and all the work was done to a high standard. Since the installation, MVS have supported us through all our audio and visual requests and we would highly recommend their services”
