Global management consulting firm Oliver Wyman recently revamped its UK head office in London, having A/V specialist Insight Visual Systems install new audiovisual systems on its second and third floors.
The project aimed to equip more than 60 spaces of varying sizes and functions – ranging from expansive meeting rooms to more intricate and flexible audio solutions for smaller spaces. With a substantial £1m budget, Insight proposed a solution featuring industry-leading brands and called in Audiologic to help facilitate and source equipment. According to Insight MD Matthew McGill: ‘The Audiologic team supported the project throughout, advising on solutions and ensuring competitive pricing and timely stock delivery, for a smooth project execution.’
A highlight of the installation is the video conferencing solution in Oliver Wyman’s Large Standard Meeting Room. The set-up audio uses Sennheiser Team Connect 2 beam-forming array microphones, with coverage of up to 80m2 and QSC AD-C6T-LP ceiling loudspeakers, QSC Core Nano audio processor, Audinate Dante AVIO 2 Channel Adapters, and a QSC SPA2-60 amplifier. Audio control is facilitated via a QSC TSC-70-G3 touchpanel.
To ensure consistency and user-friendly experiences, most spaces are equipped with the same technology, offering various flexibility levels based on client requirements. Movable walls in divisible spaces allow for combining audio systems to create a larger set-up when needed.
‘Both Sennheiser and Shure are fully integrated with Q-Sys, ensuring seamless integration and ultimate functionality for certified Microsoft Teams Rooms solutions,’ comments Audiologic Business Manager, Matt Nettlefold.
The Flexible Studio and Events Spaces feature similar systems but with additional audio capabilities for larger presentations. The Flexible Studio, a large main space divisible into five separate areas, incorporates four selectable QSC NC-12x80 PTZ cameras, various Shure Microflex radio microphones, a QSC NS26-1440++ video switcher, and a QSC Integrated Core 110f with 16 Flex slots.
Insight’s comprehensive overhaul encourages collaboration and facilitates flexible video conferencing and presentation solutions across Oliver Wyman’s office space. The meticulous integration of technology, programmed and commissioned by Insight, has garnered praise from Peter Travers, Manager of Colleague Technology Support Services at Oliver Wyman, who commended Insight Visual for delivering exceptional work and exceeding expectations in terms of functionality and user experience.
‘Despite challenges posed by ongoing building work, the team demonstrated their expertise throughout, ensuring a seamless installation within tight timelines,’ he adds. ‘Their attention to detail and flexible proactive approach exceeded our expectations.’
