INFiLED blends heritage and innovation at historic Murcia barracks
The Artillery Barracks is now the Murcia Audiovisual HUB, featuring an esports arena and photography studio equipped with 700+ INFiLED LED cabinets.
Barcelona (Spain), 9th October 2025– In the city of Murcia, 300 miles south-east of its European headquarters in Barcelona, INFiLED helped to transform the historic Artillery Barracks into a cutting-edge AV hub designed to nurture content creation, digital production and esports. The ambitious EU-backed government project was completed in just 60 days and further positions Murcia as destination for digital innovation.
The project – delivered by INFiLED in partnership with systems integrator Dominion and AV mounting solutions provider B-Tech – used INFiLED LED screens to help reshape the early 20th-century barracks into the HUB Audiovisual de Murcia, comprising a photography studio and gaming arena, along with recording studios, editing suites, simulators, a 3D printing studio and more.
Murcia City Council sought a turnkey partner to lead the transformation of the Artillery Barracks. After winning the tender, Dominion selected INFiLED and B-Tech (for their LED and mounting expertise respectively) as its partners on the new photography studio and esports arena.
Transforming a listed heritage site into a modern AV hub came with unique challenges. Strict preservation rules prohibited direct mounting to the building’s structure, requiring a completely non-invasive approach to installation. Space constraints and the need for durable, user-friendly solutions added further to the complexity of the project.
To meet the distinct needs of both spaces, INFiLED deployed products from its DB, DBmk2, and AR Series ranges, totalling approximately 700 LED cabinets. At the heart of the photography studio stands a sweeping 12m × 4m curved LED wall from the DBmk2 series, with a razor-sharp 1.9mm pixel pitch and an ultra-high-definition (6,144 × 2,048 pixels) resolution. A 60° curvature, meanwhile, allows for immersive wraparound visuals while respecting the strict heritage requirements of the barracks.
Overhead, 6m × 3m AR Series LED ceiling panels (3.9mm pixel pitch, 1536 × 768 pixels) bring dynamic lighting and visual effects into play. The AR Series is renowned for its infinite colour palette and high refresh rates, making it a favourite for stage and studio environments where flexibility is key.
Completing the photo studio’s immersive setup are two 3m × 3m DBmk2 Series side panels (1.9mm pixel pitch, 1536 × 1536 pixels each) comprising 36 cabinets per side. The DBmk2’s high-contrast, ultra-black surface delivers deep vivid visuals from every angle, while its compact stacking system is ideal for the barracks’ limited spaces.
In addition to the fixed installation, INFiLED also provided a complete portable display kit consisting of 96 cabinets, a Novastar processor, a stacking system and custom flight cases for easy transport and storage. Its experts also conducted comprehensive training for the studio staff on how to set up the system whenever needed.
Elsewhere, the esports space features a 288-cabinet, 18m × 4m DB Series display with a 2.6mm pixel pitch. With a high refresh rate, heightened contrast levels, sturdy die-cast aluminium frame and advanced thermal management, the DB Series is a workhorse for high-traffic and high-energy environments like gaming events, tournaments and community gatherings.
As to the issue of risk of physical damage from public interaction, every display in the project comes with INFiLED’s proprietary SolidSkin Technology. A patented, ultra-strong adhesive that forms a solid protection layer, it shields the LED surface from bumps, scratches and curious hands, offering exceptional durability.
The newly completed HUB Audiovisual de Murcia is now open to the public, providing world-class AV facilities to local artists, content creators, students and gamers. The photography studio offers a professional environment for visual storytelling, while the gaming arena boosts the Murcia region’s esports scene, drawing new talent and audiences.
For INFiLED, the Murcia project exemplifies the versatility and customisability of not only its range of high-end LED screen, but the support it offers to partners, customers and end users. The Murcia AV hub shows it is able to adapt to even the trickiest project request, tailoring solutions to meet the unique needs of each.
