Newcastle, England-based Treetop Adventure Golf has been treating putt-putters to immersive mini-golf courses for some time. Its latest site—consisting of two jungle-themed 18-hole courses—focused on an elevated audio experience brought to life by Powersoft’s next-generation amplifier Unica and a compact transducer, Mover.
System integrator Full Production contracted audiovisual experience designer Dan Roncoroni to design an AV system that would be able to stand alone with no operator intervention for 14 hours a day, seven days a week.
“Treetop Adventure Golf as a whole was an excellent client—there was no real traditional briefing, but a much more collaborative process,” explained Roncoroni, “where the system was designed to meet the company’s ambitions for new audio content, which was created with the capabilities of the system in mind.”

The aim of the install was to tell a story for visitors playing mini golf, which is “exceptionally hard to do so without considering the audio system at the inception,” shared Roncoroni. “With a huge variance in visitor demographics, and hundreds of visitors a day, ensuring that all voice lines are intelligible in all circumstances, and that the site is well balanced and not cacophonous, is vital.”
