TeachLogic IMA-240 Forum 50W Amplifier with Two Infrared Mic Receivers
Ensure that your teacher's voice is heard clearly by all students in classrooms of almost any size, whether in-person or hybrid with the TeachLogic IMA-240 Forum, a 50W amplifier with two infrared mic receivers, 3-input audio mixer, and 3-band EQ. The IMA-240 Forum allows the simultaneous use of two wireless infrared microphones: the RT-60N Sapphire is ideal for hands-free presentation, while the IRH-35 handheld can be passed around the room for individual participation (mics available separately). Easily connect to a computer hosting a video-conferencing application in order to synchronize classroom audio for online listeners. The IR technology used in this system is ideal for any line-of-sight transmission up to 50' and because it keeps the mic signal in the room, it simplifies the deployment of IR microphones for an entire school. When connected to overhead speakers, the Forum delivers sound accurately and effortlessly at a normal speaking level, with no interference.

Infrared technology is ideal for learning environments and line-of-sight applications for a number of reasons. The speed and audio bandwidth of IR is unmatched, and since it doesn't pass through walls, no pairing is required, allowing a teacher to use the same microphone in every classroom. The ability to contain the transmission within a single room also aids in security and privacy. With virtually nonexistent latency, you never have to worry about your lessons suffering from poor comprehension due to lagging audio. And thanks to the otherwise unused bandwidths occupied by infrared, external RF interference, which can plague RF-based systems, is nonexistent. The result is clean painless high-fidelity audio that is completely secure.
