Having redefined audio conferencing systems with its patented Microphone Mist technology that combines microphone pickup, intelligent sound targeting, position-based gain control, and echo cancellation, Nureva is now previewing its new HDX solution at InfoComm 2025. Truly groundbreaking, the new concept for large classrooms and meeting spaces combines Microphone Mist with full-range distributed audio, adaptive voice amplification, and assistive listening with Auracast broadcast audio.
Completely rethinking the original approach for its successful HDL conferencing systems, Nureva unveiled a much more comprehensive adaptive solution that fulfills the role of multiple systems for in-room audio pickup, reinforcement, and assistance. The Nureva HDX series offers a complete and flexible solution designed to meet the full range of in-room audio and remote conferencing requirements for higher education classrooms, corporate training rooms, flex spaces, and large meeting rooms up to 60′ x 40′ (18.3 x 12.2 meters).
Building off the success of Nureva’s HDL pro series systems for audio conferencing, the HDX series is a direct response to the mounting costs and complexities faced by AV/IT managers who need to support a growing set of in-room audio requirements beyond full-room microphone pickup. This includes high-quality in-room media playback, voice amplification, voice lift, assistive listening, lesson capture, meeting recording, and support for AI agents.
Traditional installation solutions that deliver similar functionality require trained technicians equipped with the necessary components and software. In contrast, the HDX series delivers all this functionality in a tightly integrated, cost-effective solution that doesn’t require special expertise to install, set up, or maintain. Expanding on Nureva’s groundbreaking Microphone Mist solution, HDX systems automatically adapt to changes in room layouts and their associated audio requirements, reducing the resource load on busy technical teams and their budgets.
According to the Canadian company, HDX systems will be available in modular configurations, with the choice of two or four wall-mounted audio bars and one or two optional microphone pods for Adaptive Voice Lift and enhanced microphone coverage. A system hub has single-cable AV-over-IP connectivity. These components are designed to be simple to install and set up, and therefore highly scalable, and they can be configured in varying combinations depending on the room size and in-room audio requirements. The key is in the tight integration of these components, allowing speakers and microphones to behave as a fully adaptive in-room audio system.
Every HDX system will deliver full-room speaker coverage that combines distributed audio with full-range loudspeakers. Adaptive Voice Lift enhances voice clarity across large spaces, dynamically adjusting to the talker’s position without requiring dedicated microphones or a complex setup. Integral to every HDX configuration is Nureva’s patented Microphone Mist technology and its unique unified coverage map. The physical microphones of all the components automatically configure to create an expansive, unified microphone array to provide full-room coverage while delivering maximum gain and consistently clear audio pickup throughout large spaces.
HDX systems are also compatible with AI agents such as Microsoft Copilot and Zoom’s AI Companion. Additionally, their performance is further enhanced by using trained AI models for specialized audio tasks. Voice detection AI accurately distinguishes human voices from other sounds, enhancing audio location accuracy and improving camera tracking. Noise suppression AI filters transient background noises like chair squeaks, rustling papers, and slamming doors. This is also an ideal complement to UC&C platforms that lack integrated noise suppression capabilities.
“With higher education institutions rapidly adopting HyFlex learning models and office environments transforming into flexible collaboration hubs, demand has surged for full-featured audio solutions that support a broad range of in-room and remote conferencing needs in larger spaces,” says Nancy Knowlton, CEO of Nureva. “Our HDX series meets this demand with an unmatched combination of simplicity and performance that helps IT professionals fully serve the needs of their users while making the best use of their resources.”
The Nureva HDX vertical speakers (audio bars) are high-quality full-range slim designs that are able to playback any type of media and amplify presentations, videos, and recordings. Adaptive Voice Amplification provides in-room amplification of a presenter’s voice when using a wireless mic, while simultaneously maintaining full-room microphone pickup of in-room voices so everyone can be heard by remote participants. Adaptive Voice Lift automatically boosts in-room voices across large classrooms and meeting spaces, without the use of wireless microphones. When one or two HDX microphone pods are included, the audio bars automatically configure to deliver maximum gain, ensuring clear communication everywhere in the space.
Advanced conferencing audio guarantees full-room microphone coverage, ensuring clarity for remote participants. Audio recording capabilities seamlessly integrate in-room microphones, wireless microphones, and external audio sources, making high-quality lecture and meeting capture effortless. And assistive listening is simplified with built-in Auracast broadcast technology, ensuring easy accessibility for those who are hard of hearing. All in the same installation system.
Two or four audio bars can be easily mounted on walls, and an optional one or two microphone pods easily mount on walls or ceiling T-bar rails, with single-cable connections to the system hub. A user-friendly configurator tool streamlines the component selection, setup, and deployment process, eliminating the need for external technical support. The Nureva acoustic check tool, available with the iOS version of the Nureva App, measures background noise and reverberation, providing a clear score of room acoustics and guidance on optimal placement of the audio bars.
The audio systems are sustainably designed using energy-efficient sleep modes, passive cooling, and environmentally responsible materials such as 30% post-consumer recycled plastics and 95% recycled fabrics. The HDX series also features eco-conscious packaging made from 99% recyclable materials, replacing hard-to-recycle foam inserts with biodegradable molded pulp. Packaging dimensions are optimized to reduce waste, improve palletization, and help lower transportation emissions.
Nureva’s founders, Nancy Knowlton and David Martin, have previously built one of the most successful Canadian companies and a global technology brand, SMART Technologies, acquired by Foxconn in 2016. With the same commitment to fresh thinking, simplicity, and an exceptional customer experience, the two founded Nureva, which quickly expanded to a global presence, with successful reference installations at corporate offices from Procter & Gamble to HubSpot, the BBC, the University of North Carolina, or the University of Oxford.
The new Nureva HDX systems are scheduled to be available to order in October 2025 and will ship in early February 2026.
