Marshall Industries designs and installs school AV systems that maximize safety and enhance learning across K–12 and higher education environments. From classroom intercoms and PA systems to audio enhancement and auditorium sound, our solutions help schools communicate more effectively.
We typically focus on safety, communication, and scheduling in the education environment. Marshall Industries is proud to provide audio-visual systems that help ensure the safety of faculty, staff, students, and property. We implement sound and video systems with the highest quality to ensure effortless communication within each school.
We’ve partnered with some of the top school wireless communication system brands for over four decades. As a result, we offer a wide variety of educational audio-visual systems, as well as high-quality care and service, to ensure we meet the individual needs of your school. We also have an engineering and design team to ensure you get a well-designed, properly working system.
In the K-12 arena, communication systems play a significant role in the day-to-day operations of a school. Intercom systems for schools, such as traditional 25-volt analog systems or network IP digital systems, offer two-way communication within classrooms, zone paging, bell tones, music during class changes—which helps educators strengthen attendance—and emergency paging from the touch of a button. The new Rauland TCU provides the highest level of security in a school. Classroom audio enhancement systems allow the teacher to be heard without straining their voice.
We provide IR microphones for teachers and even speaker coverage in the classrooms. Systems like these allow opportunities to reinforce incidental learning. In addition, we offer analog, digital, GPS, and central controllers for clock systems. Our clocks can be either electric or battery-powered, synchronizing with school bell communication systems.
Schools can utilize our sound systems in auditoriums, gymnasiums, and athletic fields. These systems use high-quality speakers specific to the size and needs of the space, amplifiers, state-of-the-art processors, and controls that are easy to operate. We also provide wireless and headset microphones to incorporate music playback and the highest level of vocal articulation.
Technology in higher education is evolving. A simple projector and screen in a classroom are still valuable for some applications. However, intimate huddle spaces continue to replace screens and projectors where students can use their devices interactively with the methods built into the room, allowing for better collaboration between students and instructors.
Today’s huddle spaces are becoming the standard for enterprise meetings and collaboration spaces. They have evolved beyond small areas for a few people to congregate; we now see wireless connectivity, video conferencing, and audio integrated into them. In addition, driven by lower technology costs, control is now being added into the huddle space to manage the various technologies.
Marshall Industries specializes in installing classroom audio-video solutions to accommodate large auditoriums, classrooms, and the newer technology of smaller huddle spaces.
Marshall Industries is proud to provide the leading school & classroom AV systems throughout Utah and Idaho. So whether you’re looking for a new school intercom solution or a sound system for an auditorium, we can help. Here are some of our most recent classroom audio-video projects.
We work across the full range of school audio-visual needs, from intercom and PA systems to classroom audio enhancement, auditorium sound, and higher education collaboration spaces.
Every system is designed around the specific layout, size, and communication goals of your school.
For K-12 schools, that means everything from two-way classroom intercoms and emergency paging to wireless microphones for teachers and sound systems built for gyms, auditoriums, and athletic fields.
For colleges and universities, we handle lecture hall setups, huddle spaces with wireless connectivity, and integrated video conferencing.
There are two primary paths: traditional analog systems and network-based IP digital systems. Both support two-way communication between classrooms and the main office, zone paging, bell tones, and emergency paging. The newer IP digital systems tend to offer more flexibility, easier scalability across a campus, and higher security. We also install the Rauland TCU, which is currently one of the strongest options available for school security. During your consultation, we walk through the differences so you can choose what fits your school’s infrastructure and budget.
Yes, and this is one of the areas where we see a difference in day-to-day experience for educators. Classroom audio enhancement systems allow teachers to be heard clearly throughout the room without straining their voices. We provide infrared microphones for teachers and configure speaker coverage specific to each classroom’s size and layout. These systems also support incidental learning by making it easier for students in every corner of the room to stay engaged.
We do. Auditoriums and gyms each come with their own acoustic challenges, and the approach we take reflects that. For auditoriums, we design systems with high-quality speakers scaled to the room, amplifiers, state-of-the-art processors, and controls that are simple for staff to operate day-to-day. Wireless and headset microphones round out the setup for performances, assemblies, and events. Athletic fields and gymnasium systems are configured with similar care for coverage and clarity at higher volume levels.
Higher education has shifted pretty significantly in recent years. Traditional lecture setups with projectors still have a place, but collaborative huddle spaces are becoming the standard, and they’ve grown a lot more sophisticated. We install huddle spaces with wireless connectivity, video conferencing, and integrated audio, along with the controls to manage it all from one interface. Whether you’re outfitting a large auditorium, updating a standard classroom, or building out flexible collaboration spaces, we can design a system that keeps pace with how students and faculty work together.
Yes. School safety legislation, including Utah H.B. 84, has raised the bar on what communication systems need to do. We’re well-versed in those requirements and design our systems to meet them. Our installations also comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, OSHA safety regulations, and ADA accessibility requirements, so the systems we put in are built to hold up to both regulatory review and real-world use.
Our primary coverage area is the Mountain West, with offices in Salt Lake City, Boise, St. George, and Denver. From those locations, we service Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington. Most of our school AV work is concentrated in Utah and Idaho, where we’ve built long-standing relationships with school districts and educational institutions across both states.
We start with a consultation to understand your school’s specific needs, whether that’s a safety-focused intercom overhaul, a new sound system for a performing arts space, or a full classroom audio enhancement rollout. From there, our engineering and design team puts together a system plan built around your building’s layout and communication goals. We handle installation and provide ongoing support after the project wraps up. The goal at every stage is a system that works reliably and that your staff can use without a manual in hand.
