AVM, the leading audio visual and video conferencing system integrator in the UK has completed the project designed to both divide and link seminar spaces in the recently acquired Kennedys office spaces in Sheffield.

Kennedys, the specialist national and international legal firm, required their Sheffield presentation rooms to be equipped with the same audio and visual functionality as that of the headquarters located on the ninth floor in Fenchurch Avenue. Kennedys needed the installations to be both easy to use and easy to manage.

AVM formulated a plan to divide the office space into various sections – this allows each divided space to operate independently or as one large presentation area. AVM has also installed wired ceiling microphone arrays instead of a wireless system. This offers the same flexibility but also ensures that there are none of the issues associated with wireless audio technology.

A Kennedys’ spokesperson said, “The audio and video systems provide us with the most state-of-the-art technology for communicating with both clients and employees from all over the world.”
