About your SMARTAudio classroom

amplification system

The SMARTAudio system amplifies teacher and student voices, reducing teacher vocal strain and

ensuring that everyone can clearly hear what is being said from anywhere in the room. The systems

include a wireless microphone that either the teacher or students can use, a control unit that provides

a USB interface to the computer and a room module that combines an amplifier and an infrared

sensor.

Your SMARTAudio system features seamless integration with SMARTNotebook™ collaborative

learning software. Pressing the SMARTAudio icon in SMARTNotebook software brings up an

intuitive user interface that enables educators to control up to five audio inputs with the touch of a

finger. Adjusting the volume is quick and simple, saving valuable class time while maintaining lesson

flow.

You can order the system with ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted speakers.
