Consistency, reliability, and ease of use are critical when designing AV systems across multiple office locations.
For Resolution Life’s Auckland office, the objective was clear. Build on an established Crestron and Microsoft Teams standard, while elevating key spaces with premium technology to support both everyday collaboration and large-scale internal events.
A Standardised Foundation
One of the biggest challenges in multi-office environments is maintaining consistency.
By aligning with the Crestron and Microsoft Teams ecosystems, Resolution Life ensures that every meeting room delivers a familiar, intuitive experience. Whether staff are in Auckland or another office, their interaction with the space remains the same.
This consistency reduces training requirements, minimises user friction, and allows teams to focus on the meeting rather than the technology.
Enhancing the Experience with Premium Technology
While standardisation is important, certain spaces require more advanced solutions to meet higher demands.
In this project, several key upgrades were implemented to enhance performance and usability.
Ceiling Microphone Arrays
Audio is often the most overlooked element of a meeting space, yet it has the biggest impact on communication. By integrating ceiling microphone arrays, the rooms maintain a clean aesthetic while delivering clear, consistent audio capture throughout the space.
Presenter Tracking Cameras
To create more engaging, dynamic meetings, presenter-tracking cameras were installed. These systems automatically follow the speaker, ensuring remote participants remain connected and engaged without manual camera control.
Seamless Teams Integration
Every room is designed to work effortlessly with Microsoft Teams, allowing users to start meetings quickly, share content easily, and collaborate without disruption.
A Space Designed for Scale: The Town Hall
A standout feature of this project is the large-scale town hall space.
Designed to accommodate all-hands meetings, presentations, and internal events, this environment required a different level of planning and execution.
Key considerations included:
- Ensuring clear audio coverage across a larger audience
- Providing a strong visual presence through large-format displays
- Maintaining a consistent user experience despite the increased scale
- Supporting both in-room and remote participants seamlessly
The result is a flexible space that can handle everything from executive presentations to company-wide updates.
Built for Everyday Use
The success of any AV installation is measured by how it performs day to day.
This project was designed with real-world use in mind. Systems are intuitive, reliable, and require minimal intervention. Users can walk into a room, start a meeting, and focus on what matters.
The Outcome
By combining a strong standardised foundation with targeted premium enhancements, Resolution Life now has a workplace environment that supports both consistency and performance.
It’s a balance that many organisations aim for but few execute well.
At Noisebox, this is where we focus our efforts. Not just delivering technology, but creating environments that work seamlessly for the people using them.
