Two rooms, one room, and no confusion between them
Divisible rooms fail in a predictable way. Combining works but nobody remembers how, so the wall stays shut and the building loses its largest space.
We set these up so combining and separating is one obvious action, and so the audio does not fight itself when the wall opens. A presenter should be heard evenly across both halves.
What goes in
- Independent display, audio and joining in each half
- Combining and separating as one action on the panel
- Distributed speakers so coverage is even across a long room
- Presenter microphones alongside audience microphones
- Assistive listening where the room needs it
- Cabling and containment planned for both configurations
Assistive listening belongs in rooms this size
A training room is exactly where somebody with hearing loss will be sitting at the back. Assistive listening is designed in rather than added after somebody has to ask for it.
Then they combine without a technician
Opening the wall should be a single choice on the panel, and the audio, displays and microphones follow. If combining needs a call to IT, it will not get used.
Sessions get watched later, not just attended
Training is recorded as often as it is delivered live. Capture and streaming are designed in with the room, because a camera and a feed added afterwards rarely look like they belong to it.
Divisible spaces that actually divide
A divisible room is two AV systems that must also be one: audio, video and control re map correctly with the wall open or closed, automatically, or staff simply stop moving the wall.
Assistive listening is designed in, training rooms are exactly where hearing support is legally and practically expected.
Common questions
What makes a divisible training room work?
Each half stands alone with its own display, audio and joining, and combining is one action on the panel. If combining needs a technician, the wall stays shut and the building loses its largest room.
How does audio work when the dividing wall opens?
Distributed speakers cover the combined room evenly and the system reconfigures so a presenter is heard across both halves without feedback.
What is assistive listening and is it required?
Support for hearing devices in larger assembly spaces, often required and always right in a training room, designed in rather than added after somebody has to ask.
Can a training room host hybrid sessions with remote attendees?
Yes, presenter and audience microphones feed the call so remote attendees hear questions as well as the presenter, and cameras cover the presenter position.
Can the room switch between classroom and event layouts?
Yes, when the AV is planned for both configurations from the start, including where people stand, present and plug in.
One team from design through commissioning
We cover the full project rather than turning up to install somebody else's design. That is what makes the result somebody's responsibility.
Design
We walk the building, work out what it needs to do and produce a design you can actually price against.
Procurement
We source the equipment and stand behind what we specify, so there is one party accountable for it.
Installation
Our own crews on site for cabling, mounting, terminations and containment.
Commissioning
Everything configured, tested and handed over with the records, credentials and documentation.
