In this paper a scalable and adaptable solution for the AV design of a hybrid music teaching space is proposed. With the goal of making the AV not interfere with the delivery of lectures from a technical perspective, the solution provides a creative use of audio DSP processors in order to achieve this. The main factors that make the university’s standard HyFlex AV design not suitable for music education are identified, and a design method based on separate microphone subsets is suggested. These subsets can be adapted for the appropriate speech and musical sources. In addition, automatic sound source detection and switching are introduced to achieve the desired technical unobtrusiveness. Finally the results are analysed and compared to those of a standard HyFlex system.
