Touchless audio future-proofs Guatemala university
Sennheiser has released details of its kitting-out of The Universidad Francisco Marroquín (UFM) in Guatemala City, where the university’s IT and AV team worked with installer FAREI to deploy Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 (TCC2) microphones in 52 of its classrooms and various faculty auditoriums.
Like many education facilities, the pandemic had accelerated the university’s plans to modernise its AV and IT infrastructures, which now focuses on hybrid teaching models, social distancing, and touchless audio.
Fernando Falla, general manager of project installer FAREI, said, “When UFM’s team came to us to work together on finding the best audio solution for their needs, we knew straight away that beamforming microphone technology would be the right way to go forward as it’s one of the latest touchless audio innovations and has really proved its value as an effective and hygienic AV solution over the last year.”
He went on to say that the successful collaboration between UFM, FAREI, and Sennheiser had helped future-proof UFM for “many years to come”.
