Promethean Activsound 100 Audio system

Learning is hardly a silent process. Even the most peaceful classroom registers between 41 and 51 decibels. Consider the sonic boom of excited learners coupled with general school noise, and the possibility of reaching every ear with every message decreases exponentially. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, without proper classroom acoustics, student attention, behavior, speech perception and comprehension declines. The disconnect is even worse for ESL learners and children with reduced hearing.

Simply, if a student can’t hear, they can’t connect—with the instructor, the class, or the vital knowledge being shared. ActivSound narrows the gap between student and teacher, pupil and lesson. Wireless teacher microphones and classroom speakers remove barriers caused by ambient noise and distance. Pass around microphones encourage classroom conversation and help everyone focus attention on the person speaking. And ActivSound’s tailored, expandable configurations make sure no classroom is too big, too loud, or too distracting for every voice to be heard.

Can I connect my computer audio into the system? Yes: connectivity for the ActivSound range can take a number of inputs – e.g. your computer, DVD, MP3 etc.

How often do I need to change my microphone rechargeable batteries? If you use your microphone every day, batteries should last over a year. We recommend you change your batteries at the start of every school year, to get the best from your system.

Why would I choose an ActivSound One over the other products? ActivSound is ideal as a temporary solution in situations where a permanent teaching area isn't available or a permanent installation cannot be made in the classroom. ActivSound One provides better audio than a voice alone and reduces the strain of speaking. ActivSound 100 / 200 provide even higher-quality sound.
