All Things TechIE Podcast - Episode 117 At #Infocomm25

All Things TechIE Podcast - Episode 117 speaking with Rob Abbott from Nureva's new HDX Series Nureva Inc., an innovator in advanced audio solutions, announces the Nureva® HDX pro audio series. Each HDX configuration is a complete and flexible solution designed to meet the full range of in-room audio and remote conferencing requirements for higher education classrooms, corporate training rooms, flex spaces and large meeting rooms up to 60′ x 40′ (18.3 x 12.2 m). Building off the success of Nureva’s HDL pro series systems for audio conferencing, the HDX series is a direct response to the mounting costs and complexities faced by IT managers who need to support a growing set of in-room audio requirements beyond full-room microphone pickup. HDX systems come with the choice of two or four wall-mounted audio bars and one or two optional microphone pods for Adaptive Voice Lift and enhanced microphone coverage. The system hub has single-cable AV-over-IP connectivity. These components are designed to be simple to install and set up, and therefore highly scalable, and they can be configured in varying combinations depending on the room size and in-room audio requirements. HDX systems deliver full-room speaker coverage that combines distributed audio with full-range loudspeakers for exceptional in-room sound.

All Things TechIE Podcast - Episode 117 At #Infocomm25

All Things TechIE Podcast - Episode 117 speaking with Rob Abbott from Nureva's new HDX Series Nureva Inc., an innovator in advanced audio solutions, announces the Nureva® HDX pro audio series. Each HDX configuration is a complete and flexible solution designed to meet the full range of in-room audio and remote conferencing requirements for higher education classrooms, corporate training rooms, flex spaces and large meeting rooms up to 60′ x 40′ (18.3 x 12.2 m). Building off the success of Nureva’s HDL pro series systems for audio conferencing, the HDX series is a direct response to the mounting costs and complexities faced by IT managers who need to support a growing set of in-room audio requirements beyond full-room microphone pickup. HDX systems come with the choice of two or four wall-mounted audio bars and one or two optional microphone pods for Adaptive Voice Lift and enhanced microphone coverage. The system hub has single-cable AV-over-IP connectivity. These components are designed to be simple to install and set up, and therefore highly scalable, and they can be configured in varying combinations depending on the room size and in-room audio requirements. HDX systems deliver full-room speaker coverage that combines distributed audio with full-range loudspeakers for exceptional in-room sound.
