With colleges and universities recently embarking upon the fall semester, HARMAN Professional is offering a variety of audio and lighting solutions that are optimized for higher education environments. HARMAN’s complete line of microphones, amplifiers, processors, loudspeakers, mixing consoles and lighting products is designed to deliver world-class performance and simple management in any environment across any campus.

“Higher education institutions require audio/video systems that offer ease of use as well as high quality and reliability, from lecture halls and performance spaces to stadiums and student unions,’ noted Mark Henkin, HARMAN Professional’s Business Development Specialist for the Education Market. “We can enable universities and colleges to standardize their audio and lighting systems on industry renowned technologies that are optimized to work seamlessly together—a time- and cost-saving proposition that only HARMAN can offer!’

HARMAN offers audio and lighting products for every part of the system, from microphones to loudspeakers, and everything in between. This enables higher education institutions to work with a single supplier for implementing complete systems, perfectly suited to their specific needs. HARMAN offerings include AKG microphones, BSS Audio and dbx signal processing, Crown amplifiers, JBL Professional loudspeakers, and Soundcraft mixing consoles along with Martin Professional lighting instruments.

HARMAN also has a broad offering of simple and managed paging systems for communication applications. HARMAN IDX is a mass communication and visual notification solution that provides a scalable way to distribute live pages, pre-recorded audio and visual pages to single or multiple buildings. This is ideal for campus-wide notification and emergency alerts. IDX can be used to automate bell schedules or any type of activity where pre-recorded messages can be timed to play on a schedule, or launched by the push of a button. Using a few scalable components, and a building block approach to system design, IDX represents a straightforward solution to even the most demanding applications.
