Enjoy sound benefits and eliminate sound problems
The benefits of sound amplification in the classroom have been documented for decades. Students’ grades and attitudes will improve
when using enhanced audio. Teachers have less repetition and less stress on their voice. However, Panasonic’s IR-Satellite system
removes the limitations of yesterday’s equipment: feedback, dead zones, short battery life, interference with other systems, breakdowns
and more.
Monitor functions with just a glance
At the core of the system, the IR-Satellite Dome Sensor/Receiver houses the latest technology in infrared audio, in a very compact
unit. The “Status-at-a-Glance” feature allows you to easily see which functions are in use. LEDs light up green or red to indicate
if the power is on, show the usage of microphones, or if the SAFE System
™
(sold separately) has been activated. Additionally, built
into the dome is a feedback blocker to eliminate the shrill squeal of microphone feedback.
Keep your hands free with the Teardrop Microphone
The IR-Satellite system includes the versatile Teardrop Teacher Microphone. This lightweight mic is worn comfortably around the
neck or clipped easily to clothing. It also serves as the remote control for your audio system; simple buttons allow you to raise,
lower or mute the volume. No more running back and forth to change the controls on your amplifier—set it once and then control
it from the Teardrop Mic. A handheld student mic is also available.
Install easily in minutes
Traditionally, the installation of an enhanced audio system could be time consuming, but integrating the IR-Satellite and Teardrop
Mic with your current system takes only a few minutes. The system can be completely operational in the short time your students
are out at lunch.
Upgrade your classroom audio for an affordable price
The IR-Satellite system is half the cost of a new audio system. Numerous school districts have found that the investment in
enhanced classroom audio pays off in reduced teacher absenteeism, and improved student performance. The benefits of the
IR-Satellite system far outweigh the initial investment.
Keep your components and replace what is outdated
We’ve all upgraded technologies throughout the years, such as changing from VHS tapes to DVDs. When you make changes like
this, you’re usually stuck with old equipment that is wasted or clutters up your space. But with Panasonic’s new IR-Satellite
system, you are able to keep the parts of your existing audio system that are functional and replace what is outdated. Upgrading
is efficient and economical.
Implement added security via the SAFE System
The IR-Satellite and Teardrop Teacher Microphone are also components of the SAFE (Security Alert For Education) System, an
integrated silent alarm system that can provide an extra layer security for the classroom. In case of emergency, the teacher needs
only to push the function button on the Teardrop Teacher Microphone to activate a 360° security camera (sold separately) and
silently send an alert to administrators or first responders.
