Modern audiences want engaging and interactive learning experiences.

AV solutions can engage audiences. But they can also help you to cater for different accessibility needs. Let’s look at the effect different AV solutions can have on your Auditorium and lecture room.
Operating in a digital world means that you may have audience members who can only attend you presentation or lecture via remote. Or they may need to catch up with it at a time that suits them. But Workspace AV recording and live streaming solutions can help you cater for all these needs.

Your questions answered
A typical auditorium or lecture theatre AV setup includes several key components: a high-brightness projector and screen (or a large format display), a sound system with microphones (lavalier, handheld, or podium), speakers, and an amplifier, a control system (often touch-panel based) for managing the AV equipment, a presentation computer, and often a video conferencing system for remote participation or recording.
Depending on the needs, other additions might include assistive listening devices, lecture capture systems, and digital signage.
Achieving clear audio in a large space requires careful planning and the right equipment.
Key factors include: selecting high-quality microphones appropriate for the presenter’s style (e.g., lavalier for hands-free, podium for static), strategically positioning speakers for even coverage, using an audio mixer to balance levels and prevent feedback, and potentially incorporating acoustic treatment to minimise reverberation and echo.
A professional should be consulted for optimal design and setup.
An integrated control system simplifies the operation of complex AV equipment. It allows users to control all aspects of the system – from lighting and screen control to microphone levels and video playback – from a single, intuitive interface, often a touch panel.
This eliminates the need for multiple remotes and simplifies the user experience, making presentations smoother and more efficient. It can also automate tasks, such as dimming the lights when a presentation begins.
Accessibility is crucial. Consider including assistive listening systems for individuals with hearing impairments, ensuring clear signage and instructions for using the AV equipment, offering closed captioning for video content, and providing accessible podiums or microphone options for presenters with mobility limitations.
It’s always best to consult with accessibility experts to ensure your system meets all relevant standards and best practices.
