The Ask:
When the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville needed to upgrade their lecture spaces, they didn’t just want bigger screens, they wanted a solution that would redefine the experience for their faculty and students, and they wanted a partner who would listen to their needs, be dependable, great to work with, and get the job done right. They were looking for Mason. Their goal: replace outdated projectors and screens with cutting-edge 4K DirectView LED walls that would deliver crystal-clear visuals in even the brightest environments and elevate the learning and teaching experience for both faculty and students.
Our Approach
This wasn’t about pushing an expensive, off-the-shelf option. It was about delivering the right technology, at the right value, with the right long-term impact.
For the DirectView LED, Mason Technologies brought in one of our trusted vendor partners, Pensar, as a cost-effective yet high-performing and world-class alternative to other industry giants. Backed by our 23+ years of integration expertise and our commitment to transparency, we designed a system that met every technical requirement without the unnecessary markup you’d expect from a “big-box” integrator.
And because we’re Mason, we didn’t stop at the display. We recognized that the audio system was holding back the room. Our team proactively replaced 84 aging Clock Audio table microphones in the Lecture Hall with new, low-profile Clock Audio units, removing the clunky under-table gear that had long frustrated faculty.
Equiptment & Systems Installed:
• (4) Pensar 163” 4K DirectView LED Walls
• 84 new Clock Audio table microphones (replacing damaged and outdated hardware)
The Result:
The result is nothing short of transformational. Faculty and students now engage with high-resolution, ultra-bright displays that bring lessons to life. The new microphones provide a clean, professional audio experience free of the frustrations that plagued the old setup.
The project wasn’t without challenges– many of the original mics had suffered beverage damage and required custom cable fabrication. But that’s where Mason’s decades of experience came through. We put in the hours, solved the problems, and delivered the finished product on time.
Today, the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville has a lecture environment that rivals the best in the country. And they didn’t just get an integrator; they got a partner. A partner who brings the #MasonWay to every job: transparency & reliability, masterful craftsmanship, and future-ready solutions that last.
