Nureva HDL Pro Audio Systems Earn HETMA Approved Status

The Higher Education Technology Managers Alliance (HETMA) has added two solutions from audio conferencing provider Nureva to its HETMA Approved Products list. Nureva's HDL310 and HDL410 systems were recognized as exceeding expectations in performance, quality, and network and security evaluations, according to a news announcement.

HETMA is a nonprofit advocacy organization for the higher education vertical in the AV industry. Its testing process "evaluates products through the lens of technical managers in higher education institutions, focusing on real-world scenarios and diverse classroom and conference room configurations." Evaluators gave the HDL pro series high marks for exceptional audio pickup, noise reduction capabilities, and adaptability to challenging acoustic spaces.

"HETMA evaluators commented that both systems outperformed existing room systems, with the microphone pickup rivaling or even exceeding that of common ceiling-mounted microphone arrays from other manufacturers," Nureva reported in its announcement. "They also praised the general quality of the systems and noted that everything worked seamlessly out of the box, with easy setup and straightforward firmware updates. The evaluators concluded the HDL310 and HDL410 systems are well suited for hybrid and flexible learning setups, making them an invaluable addition to higher education classrooms and meeting spaces."

"We are honored to receive HETMA Approved status for our HDL pro series systems, acknowledging their unique benefits for IT professionals and educators alike," commented Nureva CEO Nancy Knowlton, in a statement. "Higher education institutions that are looking for simplified, scalable deployment without compromising audio performance can now choose Nureva knowing that our systems have passed HETMA's stringent testing procedures with flying colors."
