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.
"We chose Sennheiser because the TeamConnect Ceiling 2 ticked all the boxes—ease of use, configuration, installation, and the Cockpit management platform—all at the right price point. The support from live demos to generous demo kit loans was excellent, and the collaboration from the start made us confident in our choice."
