Lecture rooms

All of our lecture rooms are designed to be as easy to use as possible. However, since the setup may vary somewhat between rooms and campuses, lecturers are advised to familiarize themselves with the room in question before teaching starts.

  The different microphones you can find at Nord;

  

  Headset microphone:

  • To mute or unmute, slide the switch on the top of the unit.
    The light will be green when the microphone is unmuted, and red/orange when it is muted.

  Handheld microphone:

  • To mute or unmute, slide the switch below the microphone head.

  Catchbox:

  • The Catchbox is automatically muted, and audio is only transmitted when the unit is in use.
    It can be thrown freely to members of the audience.
    
  • If the unit seems to be switched off, twist the cylinder out of the box to access the on/off button.
