Hybrid lectures without restrictions - Shure MXA710 & MXA910 at Bucerius Law School

With its practical orientation, international profile and excellence in research and instruction, Bucerius is seen as an exemplary institution for Higher Education. Bucerius Law School wanted to continue to meeting the expected standard even in times of the pandemic by implementing a remote digital and hybrid learning models.  It was also crucial to install a system that is easy to set up in the shortest amount of time.

Challenge

To enable a mix of face-to-face, hybrid and remote lectures while adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines. Two lecture halls, a large auditorium and a smaller seminar room have to be technically retrofitted. This ensures a high quality voice end-to-end for students participating remotely and for instructors on-site. They also have the ability to move about freely in the room without the need of carrying a microphone. The solution also had to seamlessly integrate with the interiors of the auditorium and seminar room and also required a short install time.

Bucerius Law School worked with Mediasystem GmbH for the implementation.

Solution

Lecture Hall

In the large lecture hall, the Mediasystem team installed three MXA710 Microflex® Advance™ Linear Array Microphones. Along with a flexible placement in the front row tables and in the ceiling. This created a premium AV conferencing environment for teachers and students, in which speakers can move freely around the podium area without affecting speech intelligibility for students at home.
