Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM), the first institution in the world dedicated to research and teaching in tropical medicine, has undergone a project to extend its teaching and event capabilities.
Pembroke House, a mixed-use facility was constructed with three main teaching spaces alongside small huddle areas and group collaboration zones. Initially engaged as consultants, GVAV subsequently secured the integrator scope for the Pembroke House project. GVAV collaborated with Audiologic, a spread of equipment from Q-Sys and Sennheiser was specified for deployment across the different spaces.
The Audiologic team were engaged to assist with confirming the final designs for the audio system plus programming and commissioning of this aspect of the project. Due to the complexity of the rooms and the client requirements for the system, the integration of beam-forming microphones and the Q-Sys system was necessary. Each of the three distinct teaching spaces presented unique acoustic and layout requirements, tailored to their specific function, yet the entire space demanded an intuitive, cohesive feel and user experience throughout the venue.
The Q-Sys Core 8 Flex audio DSP manages Dante, AES67 and analogue audio, also leveraging the power of the Q-Sys control platform. ACPR allows connection to Sennheiser microphones, steers the presets on the AVer cameras and changes video routing on the AVoIP system.
The Q-Sys ecosystem used different scenarios to manage the individual requirements for each space, with processing capabilities steering the camera automation based on the microphone audio positions. AVer PTC330 AI Auto Tracking PTZ cameras were used for tracking and PTZ330 Professional cameras for general recording.
