Headphones, Speakers and VideoClips – National Library of Wales
Having used a number of products in the past from blackbox-av, they were very helpful in advising the Peacemakers exhibition designer on the exact products we needed. The Single Cup Headphone is a particular favourite of visitors who can hear the words from Annie Hughes Griffiths’ original diary which is on show.
– Jaimie Thomas, Exhibition Officer for National Library of Wales
Situated in Aberystwyth on the Ceredigion coast, the National Library of Wales houses an expansive archival collection of film, video, art, sound, maps, manuscripts and books that help to make the country’s culture and heritage accessible for all to learn, research and enjoy. Jaimie Thomas, Exhibition Officer for the National Library of Wales, goes over one of the most recent developments at the museum and how blackbox-av’s hardware was utilised;
The National Library of Wales [has] opened a new permanent exhibition – a powerful space that celebrates one of the most inspiring peace campaigns in Welsh history: the Welsh Women’s Peace Petition. This is a place to learn, reflect, and draw inspiration – where history meets hope, and where seeds of action are sown to build a peaceful future for Wales and the world.
Central to the Peacemakers exhibition is copy of the iconic appeal and the famous oak chest that carried the message of peace across the Atlantic to America. The pages of the petition are shown alongside the accounts of the women who signed it – one story at a time, starting with the story of Annie Hughes Griffiths. Personal items from her archive are on display, including the diary she kept on that transatlantic journey – with her own words brought to life in sound and film thanks to technology by blackbox-av.

Elsewhere you can also find both Through Panel Speakers and a VideoClip-4K powered screen, providing additional audio and video for the Peacemakers exhibition.
This is a lovely example of our hardware used simply yet effectively to bring audio and visual content to visitors in a secure and robust fashion.
