You’re ready to start a lesson or presentation, but your classroom control panel isn’t responding. The buttons do nothing, the touchscreen appears frozen, or the projector or display won’t respond to your commands. Before assuming the panel is faulty, there are a few simple checks you can try. Checking the...
For schools, offices and other professional environments, a video wall can provide a large, highly visible canvas for presentations, collaboration, information displays and digital content. But as an existing video wall ages, replacing it can raise practical questions: Can the current mounting system be reused? How much infrastructure needs to...
A classroom display can make lesson content easier to see, but it is only one part of an effective audiovisual environment. Modern classrooms may need to support presentations, video, collaboration, remote participants and a range of teaching devices. Students also need to hear content clearly, while teachers need technology that...
As classrooms, meeting rooms and collaboration spaces become more adaptable, audio systems need to accommodate more than a fixed microphone position. Teachers move around classrooms, meeting participants contribute from different locations, and hybrid sessions bring people together both in the room and online. The Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling M Plus is...
A school PA system supports some of the most routine forms of communication across a campus. Bells mark the beginning and end of lessons, staff make announcements, and audio may need to reach individual classrooms, buildings, halls or outdoor areas.

Hybrid communication has changed what we expect from shared spaces. Today, a meeting may include people sitting around a table, colleagues joining from another campus or office, and participants working remotely. In schools, Microsoft Teams can support leadership meetings, professional development, collaboration between campuses and, in appropriate circumstances, lessons involving...
For schools, workplaces and public facilities, clear communication is an important part of creating an accessible environment. Hearing augmentation systems can help people who are deaf or have hearing loss access speech and other important audio more clearly, particularly where distance, background noise or room acoustics make listening difficult. For...
Managing audio visual technology can be relatively straightforward when an organisation has only a few rooms. But what happens when a school has AV systems across dozens or hundreds of classrooms? Or when a business has meeting rooms spread across multiple floors, buildings or locations? At that scale, simply knowing...
When an organisation invests in audio visual technology, the equipment is only part of the choice. A projector, LED display, microphone or video conferencing system is the most visible part of an AV installation. The result also depends on how the system is designed, installed, integrated and supported over time....
