Modernizing Education Through Sound

26.Jul.2024

TOA Canada is happy to announce the release of our newest sound solution, the IR-842 Portable Speaker Voicelift System. Designed with ease of use, portability, and powerful sound coverage in mind, this system can be set up and packed away in moments, meaning educators and speakers are no longer limited to traditional spaces or rooms with installed audio systems.

We realized that a Voicelift system installed into the ceiling may not be the correct fit for all spaces, and in recognizing the need for flexibility, we started on the journey that would culminate in the creation of our newest solution. Building upon the success of our IR-800 Infrared Classroom Voicelift system, the IR-842 Portable Speaker Voicelift System works just as the name implies, a more portable solution for projected speech. With the IR-842, almost any indoor space can become a classroom that any educator would be proud to teach in, or a space fit for an impactful presentation or speech.

Sound volume and intelligibility in the standard classroom falter heavily based on proximity to the speaker. Students who sit at the front of the class can hear the teacher better than those who sit further back, which is even more apparent when the teacher is facing a smartboard or chalkboard. The Portable IR Speaker system—akin to the more permanently affixed IR-800 series—provides a solution for both the issue of proximity and that of sound direction, now with the added benefit of mobility. With this new system, students can always have access to clear, intelligible instruction in any space. Not only that, but the IR-842 can also be connected to the classroom’s projector or multimedia system using either a direct connection or Bluetooth, providing amplification for those systems as well.

We’re overjoyed to be able to provide this solution to the Canadian market, and with it we hope to be able to aid in improving educative experiences across the country. Reach out to TOA Canada to learn more about this system @ toacanada.com or 1-800-263-7639.
