The St Mary’s Church Whitkirk Community Centre has an in-house audio system. This is also connected to the Community Centre’s inductive hearing loop, which can be used by setting hearing aids to the “T” position.
To switch on the audio system in the Community Centre, press the power button in the stage-left stairwell. The button will light up blue.
You can use this same button to switch the system off, or it will switch itself off automatically after a few hours.
Radio microphones
The Community Centre has two handheld radio microphones which can be used with the in-house sound system. These are located in holders just behind the wooden panel of the stage left stairwell.
To switch a microphone on press the power button. It may take a couple of seconds for the microphone to connect to the receiver.
After using the microphones, make sure to switch them off by pressing and holding the power button, and place them back in their holders.
Bluetooth
You can connect a mobile phone, tablet or laptop computer to our sound system using Bluetooth (if your device supports it).
To pair your device, you will need to put the system into pairing mode. To do this press and hold the button on the Bluetooth control panel until you hear a chirp and the light begins to flash. On your device, go to pair a new Bluetooth device and look for the one named "Whitkirk". If you are asked for a pairing code, it's 0000.
When you are connected you will hear another chirp. You can now play audio from your device through our sound system.
