Lightspeed is pleased to announce the new LightMic™ available summer of
2006. This unique wireless microphone is a hands-free, pendant-style
microphone for the teacher and a handheld pass-around microphone for
the students. This lightweight (less than 4 ounces), compact infrared
transmitter floods the room with an infrared signal that, when
combined with a Lightspeed sensor, guarantees no drop outs—even when the teacher is facing a whiteboard.
In addition to ensuring high quality sound and speech intelligibility,
the new LightMic™ is virtually unbreakable and is designed to survive
the many falls that tend to occur in a classroom environment. It comes
with an industry leading five year warranty. If it breaks because of a
drop—no problem. Lightspeed will repair or replace the LightMic for
free.
The LightMic™ underwent thorough ergonomic testing and is designed for
the teacher and for students. The pendant style microphone was created
to fit both around the neck, and comfortably in a small hand. The
LightMic™ can quickly detach from the lanyard for use by a student. The
switches were designed for ease of tactile identification, and avoiding
accidental actuation.
Product Highlights for the New LT-71 LightMic™
Lightspeed was the first to develop this truly wireless pendant-style
microphone and we continue to search for new ways to make our infrared
microphones the best in the industry. Following are the latest
enhancements to the most popular classroom microphone.
Enhanced Durability
Lightspeed understands the rigors of the classroom. That is why we
designed a new microphone that is practically indestructible. The
LightMic™ has passed hundreds of drop tests on carpet, tile and
concrete from heights ranging from 32 inches to 20 feet.
Improved Sound Quality
The microphone element is positioned further forward in the unit and
there has been additional acoustical porting added to the case to
further optimize both the overall sound quality and the gain before
feedback. Those who have used other classroom audio systems will
immediately be impressed with the quality and clarity of speech
intelligibility produced by systems using the new LightMic™.
New Auxiliary Input
A second input was added to this microphone to accept a microphone
level signal as well as a full line level signal, allowing the user to
truly integrate with any audio source. Teachers can easily share music
or recorded stories just by plugging an iPod™ or any other playback
device directly into the microphone. An external microphone input is
included for those teachers that prefer to use a headset or lapel style
microphone.
Cradle Charger
Another new feature with this microphone is the ability to charge the
unit from a cradle style charger. The specially designed charger can be
connected either to an electrical outlet or by using the standard
cables connected to the back of the amplifier.
Mute Function
A teacher occasionally needs to temporarily turn off the audio to the
system for private conversations or individual teaching. The new
LightMic adds the convenience of the mute function into a single
on-off/mute switch. To mute the microphone, simply switch the power
off. This simple two-position switch has no popping sound and saves
battery life when switched off (muted).
