Heckler Lectern
A modern lectern for the rooms where teaching, technology, and design meet.
Heckler Lectern brings together an accessible height-adjustable teaching surface, integrated AV component storage, modular device inserts, and refined architectural finishes in one configurable system. Designed for classrooms, lecture halls, training rooms, and active learning environments, it gives instructors a better place to teach and AV teams a better platform to support.
One lectern. Many stakeholders.
A better outcome for everyone involved in the room.
Lectern decisions are rarely made by one person. AV and IT teams need clean integration. Instructors need comfort and confidence. Facilities teams need durability and access. Designers need a product that belongs in the room. Budget owners need a standard that can last across technology cycles.
Heckler Lectern is designed to satisfy those requirements without forcing the project into separate furniture, millwork, and AV problems.
For IT teams
Secure classroom computers and connected devices while supporting standardized room technology across campus or workplace environments.
For instructors
Move between seated and standing instruction with a generous surface for laptops, notes, control panels, and teaching materials.
For administrators
Create consistent, accessible, professional rooms that support teaching quality and simplify future technology updates.
For architects and designers
Specify a refined lectern system with clean lines, modesty panel options, and work-surface finishes that integrate with the interior.
For facilities teams
Deploy a durable, serviceable platform that supports fixed rooms, flexible classrooms, and mobile use cases.
Two sizes. One system.
Choose the lectern that fits the room and the technology behind it.
Lectern 4U is compact and efficient for classrooms, smaller instruction spaces, and active learning environments. Lectern 6U provides a wider teaching surface and additional internal component storage for more complex AV deployments.

The Heckler Lectern proved to be the perfect fit - the final piece is now being deployed across NYU sites and campuses worldwide.
For instructors
Sit, stand, and teach from a comfortable position.
Teaching is active work. Instructors move between notes, laptops, control panels, document cameras, microphones, and the room itself. Heckler Lectern gives them a stable, height-adjustable surface that supports seated and standing instruction within an ADA-compliant range.
The result is a teaching station that feels less like a fixed podium and more like a modern workstation - one that adapts to the person using it.
Room to work
A teaching surface sized for the tools instructors actually use.
Modern instruction rarely happens with a single device. Instructors may need a laptop, lecture notes, a touchscreen, microphones, a document camera, classroom computer access, and a place to set everyday items. Heckler Lectern keeps those tools within reach while preserving a clean, organized surface.
Lectern 4U offers a compact, efficient workspace. Lectern 6U provides a wider surface for more complex teaching workflows and larger rooms. In both sizes, the surface should support the instructor's workflow, not force the instructor to work around the lectern.
They're so beautiful and the instructors love them.
For AV and IT teams
Built around the technology inside the room.
Heckler Lectern is designed as an AV platform first. Internal component storage places rack equipment, compute, power, network, and control hardware close to the devices on the desktop and in the room. Shorter cable runs help create cleaner installations, while front and rear access make configuration and maintenance more practical.
Internal rack storage
Lectern 4U includes 4RU of component storage. Lectern 6U includes 6RU with three 2RU rack positions.
Front and rear access
Technicians can configure, service, and upgrade equipment through the lift-up desktop.
Shorter cable paths
Component storage near the work surface reduces excess cabling between room devices and rack equipment.
Passive airflow
Open grid structures help components breathe without turning the lectern into a closed heat box.
Modular device integration
Standards change. The lectern adapts.
Heckler Lectern's modular console insert system gives AV teams a clean way to integrate touch panels, microphones, charging docks, courtesy I/O, and collaboration devices - then update those devices later without replacing the lectern.
Support room standards from leading AV ecosystems, including Crestron, Extron, Logitech, Shure, Q-SYS, Sennheiser, Neat, Kramer, Audio-Technica, Electro-Voice, Listen Technologies, Yealink, and more.
Control panels
Clean mounting for touchscreens and room-control interfaces.
Microphones and docks
Integrated positions for wireless microphone workflows.
Courtesy I/O
Bring connection points to the instructor surface without custom millwork.
Future-ready panels
Preserve a clean surface today while leaving room for tomorrow's standard.
Service without surgery
Designed for the rooms that need to keep working.
Classrooms and training rooms cannot be treated like one-time installations. Devices change, standards evolve, cables get added, and support teams need fast access when something goes wrong.
Good cable management is not just about appearance. It is about uptime, service speed, and the next technician who has to open the system.
Tool-free routing grid
Internal cable organization supports clean, repeatable cable dressing.
Designated pathways
Cable paths in and out of the enclosure stay clear and serviceable.
Umbilical support
Supports third-party sit/stand cabling umbilicals and existing cable looms.
Service loops
Space for future access, device refresh, and field changes.
Secure access
Keep classroom technology accessible to the right people.
A teaching station often holds the room computer, AV components, power distribution, and network-connected devices. Heckler Lectern's lockable desktop enclosure helps restrict access to authorized AV and IT staff while preserving fast service access when support is needed.
Lockable desktop enclosure
Restricts internal access to authorized teams.
Protected devices
Cleaner protection for classroom computers and internal AV components.
Service access remains
Maintains supportability without exposing components to everyday users.
Trusted by leading universities
For architecture-led spaces
A lectern that belongs in the room.
Heckler Lecterns replace the visual weight of legacy AV furniture with a lighter, more refined system. Clean steel forms, modesty panel options, premium desk pads, and carefully managed technology help the lectern sit comfortably in contemporary classrooms, lecture halls, boardrooms, training rooms, and public-facing learning spaces.
Premium panels
Refined materials and finishes elevate the audience-facing side of the lectern.

Find the right fit
Start with the room. Then configure the system.
The right lectern depends on room size, teaching style, device count, and rack requirements. Use Lectern 4U when space is tight and the AV build is streamlined. Use Lectern 6U when the instructor needs more worksurface area or the room requires more internal component capacity.
