The solution
Merryland International School, based in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, is a leading educational institution with a 46-year history of academic excellence and innovation. Its state-of-the-art campus, opened in 2010, features cutting-edge AV infrastructure to support its commitment to future-ready education.
The school’s auditorium serves as a central hub for events ranging from full-scale theatrical productions to assemblies and dance programs. However, its legacy 16-channel analog wireless system began struggling with increased RF interference due to expanding campus infrastructure and surrounding development. Audio dropouts and limited channel availability compromised sound quality and flexibility, creating an urgent need for a scalable, interference-resistant wireless solution that could integrate easily with existing systems.
Merryland partnered with Sennheiser to deploy the
EW-DX wireless system, selecting a Dante-enabled setup to simplify integration and future-proof performance. The installation included:
To ensure operational flexibility, the school maintained its analog infrastructure alongside the new digital setup, offering the best of both worlds.
The upgrade delivered immediate improvements in clarity, reliability, and ease of use. Despite a challenging RF environment, with multiple surrounding schools and widespread wireless device use,
EW-DX provided stable, dropout-free coverage across all campus events.
A key test came during the school’s major theatrical production, The Saga of Simba, where the system impressed both audiences and technical staff with enhanced clarity and performer mobility.
With the
EW-DX system in place, Merryland International School has set a new standard for audio in education. The hybrid system supports growing event needs while allowing seamless expansion in the future. According to Sennheiser brand partner Venuetech, the installation reflects a wider shift across the UAE toward effortless, user-friendly audio solutions.
