Classroom Audio Improvements

In the past year, many larger classrooms and laboratories have undergone the installation of microphones, with more installations planned for the future. These microphones serve to enhance the auditory experience for all participants. Even if you project your voice effectively, the inclusion of microphones can significantly enhance clarity for individuals seated at the rear of the room or those with hearing impairments. The microphone settings have been configured to provide a subtle amplification to your voice. While you might not be actively aware of their operation, students will certainly perceive the difference.

Two distinct types of microphones are in use. Within the Lefavour labs, belt pack microphones are employed, featuring clip-on microphones and a switch on the upper part. Conversely, other classrooms utilize lavalier microphones designed to be worn around the neck. These lavalier microphones activate automatically upon removal from their cradle. All the microphones are equipped with rechargeable batteries, necessitating correct placement in the cradle once their use concludes. Additional information can be accessed through the provided links.
