TVC Sets the Trap for Stunning AV at The Mousetrap Social

Employee-owned AV integrator TVC Technology Solutions has completed a full installation at The Mousetrap Social, the latest flagship venue from leading UK pub operator Amber Taverns. Reinforcing how cutting-edge AV technology can enhance customer engagement, atmosphere and operational efficiency, the project demonstrates TVC’s expertise in delivering immersive entertainment experiences in hospitality environments.

Following a series of successful collaborations with Amber Taverns at King Street Social Tap in Huddersfield and the Iron Ram in Derby, TVC was once again chosen to deliver a complete AV overhaul for the brand-new Nottingham site. The brief focused on creating a fully immersive environment featuring a bespoke indoor LED display, premium Samsung 4K hospitality screens, a high-performance multi-zone audio system and flexible, centralised control. The goal was to provide guests with a standout experience, encourage dwell time and offer the operational flexibility needed to manage live sports, events and branded content seamlessly.

At the heart of the installation is a 3m x 1.5m 2.6px indoor LED display, positioned to dominate the main bar area. Its ultra-bright, high-resolution visuals provide cinema-like clarity for live sport, promotional content and branded entertainment, while its flexible design allows staff to switch between live broadcasts, digital signage and music-driven visuals with ease. The LED wall’s durability, low maintenance and future-proof build make it a long-term centrepiece that elevates Mousetrap Social’s identity and enhances guest engagement throughout the day.

Complimenting the LED display, a suite of Samsung 4K hospitality screens ranging from 55” to 98” was installed across the main bar, rear seating and mezzanine. These commercial-grade displays deliver consistent, vibrant picture quality under extended operating hours and are integrated with an HD matrix system, allowing content to be changed instantly across any screen. The combination ensures that live sport, digital content and messaging can be tailored to different zones, providing a cohesive and premium visual experience throughout the venue.

To deliver venue-wide audio coverage, TVC installed a professional-grade Audac system comprising V108, V106 and X6 loudspeakers supported by a 15” subwoofer and DSP amplification. Integrated with an Optimal Audio zone control system, the installation allows staff to manage volume levels, audio sources and tonal profiles independently across the main bar, rear seating and mezzanine. This ensures each area has the perfect ambience for daytime trading, peak hours, quizzes or private events, offering operational efficiency and a consistent, high-quality experience for guests.

All Samsung displays were mounted using Peerless commercial wall brackets, providing secure, level and cable-managed installations that preserve the modern interior design while allowing easy maintenance access. Combined with the reliability of the chosen hardware, the brackets help guarantee long-term safety and stability for the venue’s AV infrastructure.

Commenting on the project, Andy Greaves, Sales Director at TVC, said, “Our employee-owned structure means everyone at TVC is passionately behind every project. We become true partners to our clients, not just suppliers, and delivering an end-to-end AV solution, from hardware through to content and audio control, ensures a smooth, high-quality rollout every time.”
