/ The discipline, in detail

How we approach auditoriums & boardrooms.

An auditorium that takes ten minutes to switch from a Microsoft Teams call to a recorded video to a live mic to dim-the-lights-and-roll-the-film is an auditorium that loses its audience. We design rooms that switch in two button presses and recover from operator error gracefully. Cisco, Logitech and Poly room kits are integrated with the display, audio, lighting and shade so the operator works one panel, not seven remotes.

On record

Every auditoriums & boardrooms engagement is documented end-to-end — design, programming, commissioning, calibration — and handed over with the files our successors would need if we were never to return.

/ Where we deploy this

Active across 3 sectors.

Auditoriums & Boardrooms is rarely a standalone brief — it sits inside a wider sector practice with its own codes, expectations and operating rhythm.

/ Sister services

The rest of av.

A serious brief usually crosses two or three of these. Read across the discipline — we deliver them as one contract.

/ Frequently asked

Auditoriums & Boardrooms — what buyers ask first.

What's the difference between a Teams Room and a video-conference setup?

A certified Teams or Zoom Room has Microsoft- or Zoom-validated hardware, single-touch join and a console that joins meetings without a laptop — generic VC setups do not. Microsoft- or Zoom-validated hardware, single-touch join, and a console that joins meetings without a laptop. Generic VC setups need a laptop in the room and rarely auto-join. The difference shows up on every meeting that starts late.

What's the typical timeline for a 200-seat auditorium build?

From contract to commissioning, 14–22 weeks for a fresh build, longer for a renovation. The acoustic envelope, AV chain design, lighting and control system run in parallel during the civil works; commissioning takes 3–4 weeks of focused calibration and rehearsal time. We do not compress this for marketing reasons.

What's the cost of a premium 12-seat boardroom?

₹12–22 lakh for a Microsoft Teams Rooms certified configuration with ceiling-array microphones, an 86-inch interactive panel, dual-camera auto-tracking and acoustic treatment. The figure is itemised against your room geometry; it does not include the table or chairs.

Should the boardroom be on Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms or Cisco Webex?

Whichever platform your organisation uses for client meetings. MTR is the right answer for any Microsoft 365 organisation because of single-touch join and calendar integration. Zoom Rooms is best-in-class for Zoom-standardised enterprises. Cisco Webex remains strong in regulated sectors. We deploy and certify all three.

Do auditoriums need cinema-grade acoustic treatment?

Yes — for any auditorium that will be used for live speech or music. RT60 above 1.6s makes speech intelligibility (STI) drop below 0.5; below 1.0s and music sounds dead. We model the room in EASE before treatment is specified, and we measure after install with a calibration mic to verify.

What's the lifecycle of an auditorium AV install?

Audio equipment lasts 15–20 years with AMC. Projectors and displays are on a 7–10 year refresh. Microphones (Sennheiser, Shure) often last 20+ years. We design the install with replaceable subsystems on independent depreciation cycles so the auditorium does not need a single big-bang refurbishment in year 8.
