Using Instructional Audio for Teachers

Vowels vs Consonants

FAQ:

Q: I have a loud voice. Do I need to use the Flexmike and speaker?

A: Volume is not the issue for clear and intelligible listening. The Redcat Access audio technology makes the consonants in our daily speech clearly understood. You can whisper with the Flex mike and students will hear you clearly.
