® way to support divisible rooms. An HDL310 system is used in each divided space, and then two HDL310 systems are quickly converted to a single HDL410 system to cover the combined space.
Divisible room size limits For full-room microphone pickup, maximum room sizes are recommended for each Nureva system. When the room is divisible, the recommended maximum dimensions of the combined space differ slightly from those for a standard room. HDL pro series — Maximum room dimensions (9.1 m)
In this example, two HDL310 systems are used with a layer 1 Ethernet switch (the manual type of switch that’s inexpensive), so there’s no need for software programming. As a manual operating system, this setup can be tried out and put into real-world use or serve as a proof-of-concept demonstration.
Next, the positioning of the microphone and speaker bars will need to be considered so they can each function as an HDL310 system. HDL310 coverage TIP: It’s important to check the HDL310 installation guide for advice on avoiding incorrect positioning of the single microphone and speaker bars to be used in the divided spaces.

Next, consider the room layout and furniture arrangement — noting where there are doors, windows, monitors, HVAC vents, fans and other sound sources. Although Nureva audio systems have the patented Intelligent Sound Targeting feature, which preemptively identifies and ignores persistent noise in real time, it’s important to avoid placing the microphone and speaker bars too closely to noise sources like vents and fans.
Step 2: Adding a network switch The key additional component needed for Nureva’s basic divisible room solution for two spaces is a layer 1 Ethernet switch. When dividing and combining the spaces, this physical layer switch is used to change the connections between the microphone and speaker bars and the connect modules. Using a layer 1 switch minimizes network latency, which is critical for the systems’...
Connect module 1 Both rooms combined Two HDL310 systems are shown in the wiring diagram above — one for each divided space. Each system covers a smaller meeting room with one microphone and speaker bar and one connect module. The wiring diagram also shows the connections for an extra-large combined room. An HDL410 system is created using the same two HDL310 microphone and speaker bars with only one of the connect modules.
Recalibration involves the system playing audible tones to analyze the reconfigured room’s acoustics and optimize its digital processing parameters for the best possible audio performance. It’s imperative that Nureva audio systems are recalibrated whenever the room configuration changes. For example, changing from one combined room to multiple divided spaces and rearranging furniture are situations that would require recalibration.
Label the network switch to show the divided and combined room positions. The next two sections provide guidance for divisible rooms that are more complex and for automating the controls for divisible rooms. Nureva Inc. • Divisible room guide 12...
(9.1 x 9.1 m) It’s usual for an HDL410 system to cover an extra-large room and for it to function as two HDL310 systems in the divided spaces, with a microphone and speaker bar in each space. However, if one of the divided spaces exceeds the maximum room dimensions of 30' x 30' (9.1 x 9.1 m), then three microphone and...

Then, the larger divided space needs to be considered. This space is too large for an HDL310 system with a single microphone and speaker bar, so it will require an HDL410 system with two microphone and speaker bars.

HVAC vents, furniture, wall decorations, etc. Solution components HDL410 system HDL310 system Layer 1 Ethernet switch A total of three microphone and speaker bars and two connect modules will be in use when the room is divided. When the room is combined, two microphone and speaker bars and one connect module will be in use.

Example: Dividing into three rooms A divisible room can be split into three smaller spaces — each equipped with an HDL310 system. The room configurations are then highly flexible, with the options of having one extra-large space, three individual rooms of a similar size and two spaces formed from combinations of the three smaller rooms.

When two of the HDL310 systems are used together as an HDL410 system, the placement of those two microphone and speaker bars will also need to be taken into consideration as they will work together as one system. Solution components...
Example: Dividing into four rooms It’s possible to divide one extra-large space into four smaller rooms within the recommended HDL310 and HDL410 room sizes. This type of divisible space gives the flexibility of using one extra-large space, four smaller areas or two combined areas (rooms 1+2 and 3+4).
HDL410 or HDL310 device. In these cases, recalibration is still required but may not be automatically triggered, and the recalibration will need to be initiated manually.
Also, manually switching more than three network switches for different room layouts can lead to errors. Nureva’s divisible room solution can be integrated with an AV control system for automated operation. Automated tasks and sequencing Two automation tasks are typically required: •...
To integrate the Nureva divisible room solution with this type of AV control system, control of the layer 1 Ethernet switches needs to be added. The Extron IPCP Pro 250 series of controllers have RS-232, relay and LAN ports that can all be used to control the switches required for divisible rooms.
• Q-Sys ™ Local control system integrations Recalibration can be set up for one HDL310 or HDL410 device at a time to follow the automatic recalibration process. Instructions and reference codes: Recalibrate device Further automation of the audio system controls is also possible with the Nureva local control API.
