Ambiant supplies and installs capture, display, and audio systems for lecture theatres, seminar rooms, and formal training environments across New Zealand. We design and configure rooms that deliver equally well for students in the room and those joining remotely, with no compromise on either experience.
Lecture theatres and training rooms are high-stakes spaces. A microphone that cuts in and out, a display that’s too dim to read from the back row, or a camera that shows nothing but ceiling — any of these breaks the session for everyone, whether they’re in the room or joining online.
Ambiant designs lecture and training room AV from the audience’s perspective outward — acoustics first, then display, then capture — so every seat in the room (and every screen at home) gets the same quality experience.
We supply and install projectors, laser projectors, and large interactive displays sized for lecture theatres and training rooms, sharp, bright, and visible from every seat. Dual-screen setups available for simultaneous content and video display.
We provide and install Shure wireless lapel and handheld microphone systems that give lecturers freedom of movement, plus ceiling and boundary microphones for seminar-style rooms where multiple speakers contribute.
We install distributed speaker systems that deliver clear, even sound to every seat in the room, with Biamp-powered audio processing for consistent intelligibility regardless of where the speaker is standing.
We install auto-tracking cameras that follow the lecturer automatically, plus screen capture integration for recording and live-streaming lectures to remote students or for later review, with no dedicated operator required.
We provide HDMI, wireless, and USB-C connectivity for any presenter device, with a simple switching system so lecturers can move between a laptop, a document camera, and remote participants without interruption.
We integrate Q-SYS touch panel control that manages displays, audio levels, microphones, and camera presets from a single panel, so the lecturer sets up the room in one touch, every time.
