DAS holds a wide range of audio-visual equipment that is accessible to all artists, community groups and the general public. Much of the equipment is too expensive for individual artists or groups to buy and maintain so DAS takes responsibility for acquiring when possible, the most professional equipment available for shared use.

Technical Support

An ongoing part of the DAS programme is to offer a technical support service to local artists. DAS benefits from having staff who are all highly experienced in their own fields of practice and who are able to offer a wide range of advice to artists and the general public.

DAS staff can offer demonstrations in using computer hardware and software as well as all equipment in the studios. We offer one-to-one tuition, group tutorials and answer individual queries about digital technologies and best practice. We provide a service where artists and the public can have a DVD produced or an analogue file transferred to a digital one. We also provide image scanning and printing.
