  2. LightSPEEDSound Enhancement Equipment Student Achievement • LightSPEED classroom amplification systems allow every child in a classroom to hear clearly all the speech components of the teacher’s voice—no matter where a child is seated or where the teacher is standing—enhancing their ability to learn. • Improves Student Attention & On-task Times • Increases Classroom Interaction & Participation • Easily overcomes high ambient noise levels in the classroom

  3. Amplifier Overview What is the effective coverage of a Classroom Amplification System? Only volume control knobs on front of the unit should be adjusted . These are “set it and forget it” controls. There is no need for constantly adjusting volumes. As an exception, not a rule, the second (B) microphone may need to be adjusted periodically for a very soft-spoken or very loud student. There are other volume controls for auxiliary equipment, such as your computer and DVD/CD player. The LightSPEED system should be turned off and microphones removed from the charging cradle each weekend.

  8. Sensors • The sensor can sometimes be mistaken for a security camera similar to those at Wal-Mart! • The black IR receiver is attached to the ceiling. • Sound is transmitted through the black sensor at the top of the microphone.

  9. Microphone ChargingHow often should I charge my microphone? • The “Charging Cradle” is used nightly to charge microphones. • When microphones will not be used for more than 5 days remove them from the charger. • Microphones charged overnight will usually last through a typical school day. • Turn off microphones during extended times such as lunch or planning time to save battery life. • The MIC will charge in the cradle with the amplifier unit on or off. (Remove mics while system is off over weekends.) • Turn the mic off during charging to get a full charge. • The red light on the battery charger indicates the MIC is charging. No light means the MIC is fully charged.

  10. Microphone PlacementWhere should I position the LightMic™ for best results? • It is important to wear the microphone correctly. • The top of the microphone should be placed right at the “V” notch of the collarbone or just below. • Improperly worn microphones will require the amp volume to be turned up too much and speaker feedback may be experienced. • Remove the MIC by using the clip on the lanyard.

  13. Coverage AreaWhat is the effective coverage of a Classroom Amplification System? • The IR sensor coverage area allows your voice to be heard just outside the classroom door. • Standing outside the door, facing the door may result in the sensors transmitting your voice through the system. • The microphone can be turned off for private conversions. • Another option is to simply cover the top of the microphone (the sensor) with your hand to block the reception of IR light. • If volume adjustment is required teachers should get another faculty member to assist with setting the volume while he/she uses the MIC to avoid setting the volume too high.

  14. General Information • Remember, the sound system is designed to enhance your voice. It is not a public address system. • Ideally, the teacher should be able to just BARELY hear himself/herself through the system speakers. The ideal sound level in the room should exactly like the sound level the teacher hears in his/her own ears when speaking. • If a teacher can clearly hear themselves through the system, it is too loud. • Necklaces and buttons can cause interference.

  15. FAQ(Frequently Asked Questions) • Q.    Can the TV/DVD player in my classroom be integrated with the classroom amplification system? • A.    Yes, anything that you want to have amplified through the system speakers can be integrated. If the audio output is available, a simple patch cable can connect the TV/DVD to the system via AUX input on the back of the amplifier. • Q.    Should I take any precautions when storing my system over the summer? • A.    The only precautions that are necessary are to fully charge the batteries, and then make sure the transmitter and receiver are unplugged from the power source.
