The University of Derby is a modern education provider with more than 28,000 students attending a diverse range of courses. The main campus located in Derby city centre is accompanied by its Buxton and Chesterfield campuses. The upgraded classrooms at the main campus feature Genelec 4020 and 4030 Series speakers. Scott Bradley, of the University of Derby’s IT Networks team, first realised the benefits of Genelec speakers at the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2014 event, seeing them as a perfect fit for their latest phase of their on-going teaching space refurbishment project. He comments: “We were looking to overhaul our AV systems as technology has moved on and some of our kit had become a bit dated. We realised that our previous loudspeaker setup lacked clarity. For example, we often found that members of staff were trying to overcome the poor sound quality by increasing the volume of the system, which led to a noisy teaching environment. The Genelec loudspeakers have a flat frequency response which ensures excellent sound reproduction at all volume levels, hence the teaching spaces with Genelec are now considerably quieter and productive.” www.genelec.com GENELEC 4000 SERIES - BRINGING CLARITY TO THE CLASSROOM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DERBY CASE STUDY Genelec 4000 series active loudspeakers feature prominently in the latest refurbishment project at the University of Derby. A total of thirty new classrooms and a courtroom have been upgraded at the university’s impressive campus, with Genelec’s installation-friendly speakers providing crystal clear sound to complement the new audio visual equipment installation, enabling cutting-edge collaborative teaching methods to be used.
