Technology Integration
Today's classrooms are increasingly rich in new technology—computers, digital projectors, and electronic white boards—and old stand-bys like TVs, VCRs and DVD players. With the addition of technology, audio is the one component that cannot be overlooked. Studies have shown that up to 75% of the school day involves listening activities, confirming that hearing is the primary channel for learning.
The CAT 885 Classroom Audio Hub is easy to integrate with all these technologies and will amplify and control the volume of up to four different sources to ensure all students can clearly hear, thus maximizing your technology investment.
