MUT integrates globally adopted AV education tech to KZN students
By Viljoen Lambrecht
Next-gen learning is transforming campuses across South Africa, and Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT) is among the innovative institutions championing this advancement for its students.
Ecler commercial audio at MUT: clarity, control, consistency
MUT’s latest phase centres on Ecler commercial audio — chosen to deliver clear speech, balanced coverage, and straightforward day-to-day control in teaching spaces.
Amplification designed for consistent performance
The AURA-2B600 two-channel Class-D amplifier provides 2×600 W RMS at 4 Ω with Lo-Z & Hi-Z support. This ensures sufficient headroom for high intelligibility and the flexibility to power both distributed loudspeaker lines and low-impedance configurations as campus needs evolve.
Loudspeakers voiced for teaching spaces
The ARQIS108i, an 8-inch (2-way, 150 W RMS) wooden made loudspeaker, is designed for full-range clarity and controlled dispersion. The result is speech that reaches the back row naturally, lectures that sound balanced, and media playback that remains articulate at typical classroom volumes.
Simple, reliable front-end control
The SAMI-612 6×2 analogue stereo mixer with 3-band EQ provides intuitive source and tone control for lecturers and AV staff. Its simplicity reduces setup time and ensures uninterrupted sessions.
Together, these components create a durable, high-performance audio backbone that prioritises intelligibility, usability, and adaptability — exactly what higher education spaces demand.
Integrated technology shaping modern learning environments
Ecler’s new audio infrastructure complements MUT’s existing Kramer Control and MAXHUB Interactive Display deployments, forming a unified AV ecosystem that supports connected, collaborative learning experiences across campus.

A growing shift in campus AV strategy
Across South Africa, higher education institutions are steadily moving away from fragmented audio, video, and control setups toward integrated systems that simplify operation and improve reliability. MUT’s adoption of Ecler audio, Kramer control, and MAXHUB displays reflects this broader move toward cohesive, future-ready campus AV environments that enhance teaching quality and the overall student experience.
Expanding the AV ecosystem
During a recent review of MUT’s AV infrastructure, the Electrosonic SA team evaluated how the new Ecler installation integrates with existing Kramer Control and MAXHUB Display systems. The outcome underscores a growing alignment between local university standards and international best practice, ensuring long-term scalability and consistent performance across the institution’s teaching environments.
Raising the bar for higher education
This upgrade reflects how global-standard AV solutions are being implemented across South African universities, setting a strong benchmark for the student experience.
With years of experience in Pro AV system design and a network of South Africa’s most trusted System Integrators, Electrosonic SA’s specialist team continues to support higher education institutions with needs analysis, technology strategy, and access to globally trending AV education solutions that best fit their learning environments.
