Considering the success we had using Voice Tracker III array microphones in our classrooms for hybrid learning, we decided to install 4 Voice Trackers to cover a large auditorium.
Brindley Auditorium is a trapezoid shape, approximately 1,680 ft2 room with 151 seats. See the attached photos and layout.
In May 2021, the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor modernized the A/V technology in the auditorium, which includes the following:
- Video – An 86” interactive display, two 75” secondary TVs, two 85” TVs for content replication and a 70” confidence TV.
- Audio – Four Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker III, one on each wall. A RDLRU-MX4L 4-channel mixer to aggregate audio feeds and an AudioSource AMP100VS amplifier with six C2G 2’x2’ ceiling speakers.
See the attached block diagram.
The four Acoustic Magic Voice Tracker III microphones are able to capture audio from any seat at any location for video conferencing and distance learning.
