Extron Debuts New Centralized AV Switching and Control Systems

Extron Electronics today introduced a new series of centralized AV switching and control systems for education facilities.

The PlenumVault Systems, designed for classrooms with suspended ceilings, use "twisted pair technology for transmitting signals and include network connectivity for Web-based asset management, monitoring, and control," according to a company statement.

"All of our classroom AV systems are designed to help schools standardize on a single technology platform and offer network connectivity for remote management and support," says Casey Hall, vice president of sales and marketing for Extron. "These new PlenumVault Systems provide the added benefit of secured mounting that blends invisibly into the existing ceiling."

The new series offers two-, three-, and four-input systems. Each system comes with AV switches, audio amplification components, system controls, source connectivity cables, speakers, and mounting hardware.
