Lecterns

Choose a lectern based on where it will be used, who will use it and what equipment it needs to support. Consider whether you need a fixed or mobile model, sufficient space for a laptop and notes, integrated cable management, microphones, AV connections, storage and height adjustment. For shared classrooms, training rooms and conference spaces, simple connectivity and an easy-to-use design are especially valuable.

Yes. Height-adjustable lecterns are available and are particularly useful where multiple presenters use the same space. They can accommodate different presenter heights and can also improve accessibility for people presenting while seated or using a wheelchair.

Yes. Many multimedia and custom lecterns can incorporate HDMI, USB-C, USB charging and power outlets, along with microphone inputs and other AV connections. Integrated connectivity helps keep cables organised and makes it easier for presenters to connect laptops and other devices without running loose leads across the room.

Yes. Many commercial lecterns can be customised or manufactured to suit specific dimensions and room requirements. Depending on the manufacturer, you may also be able to customise finishes, materials, accessories, AV equipment, shelving and branding. Australian manufacturer Lectrum, for example, offers configurable dimensions, materials and accessories on selected models.

It depends on the model and manufacturer. Some lecterns arrive fully assembled or partially assembled, while others are supplied flat packed for easier transport. Flat-packed models generally require straightforward on-site assembly; for example, Lectrum specifies that its L20S Classic Electronics lectern ships flat packed and is designed for quick assembly. Always check the individual product specifications before ordering.
