Upgrade Your Classroom with the Best Audio Visual Systems
Key Features to Look for in Effective Classroom Audio Visual Systems
Modern classrooms are no longer limited to whiteboards and static projectors. As Australian schools embrace digital learning environments, the demand for intuitive, high-quality classroom audio visual systems continues to rise. Whether you're a school principal, ICT coordinator, or facilities manager, choosing the right AV setup is essential for engaging, accessible, and future-ready education.
Clear Sound and Voice Amplification for Larger Classrooms
In classrooms with 25–30 students—or even more in lecture-style settings—ensuring every student can hear the teacher clearly is vital. Microphones, ceiling-mounted speakers, and amplification systems ensure vocal clarity without teacher fatigue. It’s about giving every student equal access, even from the back row.
High-Definition Displays and Projectors for Interactive Lessons
Gone are the days of fuzzy images or poor visibility. Today’s classroom AV systems feature HD projectors and commercial-grade flat panels that display vivid content, diagrams, and videos. These displays allow teachers to move freely while keeping students visually engaged.
User-Friendly Control Panels for Teachers with Any Tech Level
No teacher wants to fumble with five remotes or complicated switches. The best systems include easy-to-use wall panels or tablet-based controls that streamline AV access—turning on projectors, adjusting volume, or switching between input sources in just one tap.
Flexible Integration with Existing Networks and Devices
An effective AV system works in harmony with your current school infrastructure. Whether it’s syncing with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, or existing smart boards, integration reduces learning disruptions and IT headaches.
Must-Have AV Equipment for Schools in 2025
Staying up to date with the best AV equipment for schools doesn’t mean overspending—it means choosing technology that adds value and lasts.
Interactive Whiteboards and Touch Displays
Interactive classroom technology has transformed how students and teachers engage with content. Touch-enabled screens allow annotation, collaboration, and immediate feedback. Paired with smart software, these tools support dynamic group learning and participation.
Wireless Presentation Systems for Teachers and Students
Devices like wireless dongles or Wi-Fi screen sharing hubs eliminate messy cables. Teachers can present from anywhere in the room, and students can also share their work instantly for peer feedback or class discussion.
Ceiling Speakers, Wall-Mounted Speakers, and Microphones
Audio matters just as much as visuals. A mix of wall or ceiling-mounted speakers ensures balanced sound distribution, while lapel or handheld microphones support inclusive, hybrid or recorded teaching.
Classroom Control Systems for Hassle-Free Management
Systems that centralise AV controls—lighting, audio, display, and more—give teachers power without complexity. These are often operated through simple wall panels or intuitive apps.
Smart Classroom Solutions: Combining Technology for Maximum Impact
Building smart classroom solutions is more than just connecting devices—it’s about creating an environment where everything works together.
How to Link AV Systems with Smart Boards and Mobile Devices
Modern classroom audio visual systems should sync with the tech already used by staff and students. That includes pairing smart boards with wireless casting tools or mobile apps that enable student participation from their tablets.
Automating Lighting, Blinds, and AV for Different Class Activities
Scavi can help schools automate lesson transitions with preset “modes”—like Lecture Mode (lights dimmed, projector on), or Group Mode (lights up, AV muted). These smart integrations reduce setup time and maximise focus.
Examples of Smart Classroom Setups in Australian Schools
In a recent Sydney Catholic primary school project, Scavi installed integrated AV, lighting, and blinds in classrooms. Teachers now run smoother lessons and even manage the system from their phones, with no need for IT support every time they start class.
Planning a Successful School Audio Visual Installation
Investing in a classroom AV upgrade is exciting—but also needs proper planning.
