An academic institution establishes itself as a technological benchmark in Latin America with Microflex from Shure.

Universidad Anáhuac Puebla, a leading institution in academic excellence in Latin America, has announced the successful implementation of an intelligent audio ecosystem, powered by Shure solutions, to strengthen its hybrid teaching model. This project redefines the classroom experience, enabling seamless and natural interaction among its 4,500 students, whether attending in person or remotely.

The challenge: overcoming the barriers of remote learning

Faced with sustained growth in its student community, the institution needed to adapt its academic spaces to the new hybrid reality. Traditional classrooms presented critical limitations: lack of voice clarity when the lecturer moved around the room, persistent echo, and background noise that hindered collaboration.

We were facing issues with audibility, message clarity, and fluid collaboration. From there, we set out to find technological solutions that would transform our classrooms into intelligent spaces, said Fernando Vega, Director of Systems at Universidad Anáhuac Puebla.

The solution: a digital and integrated ecosystem

To address these needs, the university selected the Shure Microflex Ecosystem, a professional audio solution recognised for its integration capabilities with third-party software and hardware. The project included the installation of:

• Shure MXA920 ceiling microphones: For precise voice capture anywhere in the classroom.
• Shure MXN5-C networked loudspeakers: Ensuring clear and consistent audio reproduction.
• IntelliMix P300 and ANIUSB-MATRIX processors: Devices that provide active noise suppression and efficient digital signal management.

This networked infrastructure allows audio, video, and automation to work together, offering advanced features such as voice-based camera tracking and automatic muting.

Benefits: full focus on teaching

The implementation has eliminated “technology fatigue” among faculty. According to Carlos Miguel Ramos Linares, Smart Room Coordinator, lecturers can now focus entirely on pedagogy: "Today, they only need to turn on the lights and start their class; the system takes care of the rest, eliminating external noise and connectivity issues".

Leadership in educational innovation

With the modernisation of spaces such as Aula 360 and Smart Room E4, Universidad Anáhuac Puebla positions itself as a technological benchmark in Latin America.

This is a digital solution that not only addresses current audio challenges, but also enables firmware updates for future improvements and full interoperability with leading collaboration platforms, explained Julián Sánchez, Market Development Specialist at Shure.
