Cardiff Metropolitan University

The client
Cardiff Metropolitan University (Cardiff Met) is a leading
institution based in the vibrant capital city of Wales, UK. Known for
its strong focus on employability, research, and innovation, Cardiff Met
offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs across
five academic schools: Art & Design, Education & Social Policy,
Management, Sport & Health Sciences, and Technologies. The
university is committed to providing an inclusive and supportive
learning environment that fosters academic excellence, creativity, and
collaboration, preparing students for success in their chosen careers.
The solution
Cardiff Metropolitan University modernized its teaching and meeting
rooms through an extensive AV Refresh Project, selecting Sennheiser’s
TeamConnect Ceiling 2 (TCC 2) microphones for their ease of use,
configuration, and management capabilities. The microphones, integrated
via Dante, provide clear audio for hybrid teaching and lecture capture,
enhancing the experience for both students and staff. Sennheiser’s
MobileConnect system further supports accessibility, while SpeechLine
Digital Wireless microphones offer seamless voice amplification without
costly frequency licensing. Despite pandemic-related supply challenges,
early access to the TCC 2 allowed Cardiff Met to maintain hybrid
teaching setups, with integrators Strive AV and GVAV ensuring smooth
implementation across the university.
