Califone Wireless Field Array Speakers offer power, even sound distribution for multimedia presentations
Posted by Denielle on 7th Mar 2014
Excessive cabling on audiovisual technology has long created a tangled mess for educators and librarians and complicated the installation process. To provide schools with an easy-to-use, wireless option for enhancing educational multimedia presentations, Califone International, the premier manufacturer of high-quality audiovisual technology for academic use, introduces the Wireless Field Array Speakers.
Wireless technology is quickly becoming the new standard in schools because of the convenience and portability they afford busy educators and administrators. Now, multimedia presentations—in classrooms, computer labs, libraries, and other educational venues—just became easier with the release of the Califone Wireless Field Array Speakers with 16 selectable UHF channels to minimize audio interference and to allow for greater flexibility.
The speakers offer wireless transmission up to 160 feet and can connect to whiteboards, LCD projectors, computers and other media players. Wireless and wired microphones can be used at the same time for presentations that require multiple speakers such as student debates and forensic competitions. In addition, the speakers can be paired with Califone public address systems including the popular PresentationPro for greater coverage. Using “array” technology, the whiteboard speakers focus the sound pattern directly at the audience rather than randomly bouncing sound off the walls as with other competitive audio products. This technology also provides more even sound distribution, so students at the rear hear the same volume as those in the front of the room can hear the educational material. The ability to hear oral instruction clearly is a decisive factor in comprehension, on-task behavior and student performance.
Weighing less than five pounds each, the small, lightweight speakers are easy to install. With duplicate line in, mic and DC functions, as well as a swiveling heavy-duty steel bracket, the speakers can be installed at almost any angle and still allow full operation of the unit. For safety and durability in rigorous academic settings, the speakers feature rugged steel grille protection, ABS plastic construction for safe use in schools and libraries.
