Califone Infrared Classroom Audio System.
It Does More and Costs Less!
Califone addresses the most common obstacles to quality classroom and lecture hall sound-high cost, poor installation,
PI30-IRSYS | PA Systems
By utilizing “array” speaker technology, our innovative system increases the key signal-to-noise ratio to produce a more evenly
distributed sound with twice the coverage and receptivity of other systems. In addition, the volume level is the same at the
front and rear of the classroom, increasing students’ attention to verbal instruction. The speakers target the sound pattern
inadequate acoustics, and high levels of ambient noise — with our Infrared Classroom Audio System.
directly at the audience — not randomly bouncing it off of walls — which improves teaching and listening, and
comprehension for all students.

Infrared Classroom Audio System
Our infrared audio system offers all the benets of wireless sound amplication at a more
affordable price. Two ceiling-mounted infrared receivers are powerful enough to accommodate
classrooms up to twice the size of the average elementary school classroom or about 2,000
square feet.
The two non-powered “array” speakers (PI30-SP) not only cover a greater area, but because they
also focus the sound directly at the students, everyone benets from better sound distribution
from the front to the back of the room. Teachers wear a comfortable rechargeable beltpack
transmitter with a headset mic. When the teacher mic is turned off, students can use the wireless
handheld mic to ask questions or to give presentations. Both are stored in a wall-mounted
lockable console that also contains the master volume controls & inputs/outputs for computers
and media players. Both teachers and students can narrate or provide commentary during
slide/video/oral presentations or classroom reviews.

Case Study: PI30-IRSYS
Aiken County, South Carolina
Public Schools
Amplify Teachers
in the Classroom
As the Title 1 Coordinator for J.D. Lever
Elementary School, Christie Valenzuela and
other staff members wanted to make sure that
each student had the same opportunity to learn
as everyone else. Located in rural Aiken County,
South Carolina, the district decided that one way
to meet students’ needs would be to install an
amplication system in each classroom so that
students seated near the back of the class could
hear the teacher just as well as students near the
front. “Through our research, we discovered that
many schools who integrated this technology
saw increases in their state assessments,”
Valenzuela said. “We reviewed many systems,
but ultimately chose the
Audio System
most return on our investment.” The school
purchased 32 systems and mounted the two
included
array speakers
classroom’s walls for maximum projection. Each
teacher wears a microphone and students use the
handheld microphone when asking questions or
giving presentations (both mics can not be used at
the same time). “The students really enjoy using
the technology because they feel more important
since their voice is being amplied and heard by
the rest of the class. The teachers appreciate the
amplication – not feeling strained at the end of
the day,” Valenzuela said. Helping to meet the
needs of all students, the amplication systems
were most positively embraced by the parents
of those students with hearing impairments.
In addition, the school’s speech teacher believes
the systems have helped tremendously as they
do not add to the classroom’s ambient noise
level at all, allowing students to hear their
teachers and lessons more clearly.

Make Sure They Can Hear You... This Time and Every Time!
The better your students can hear you, the better their behavior, attention, and academic achievement —
and the less the vocal strain for you. Whether yours is an issue of poor acoustics, noisy heating and air conditioning units,
chatter from neighboring classrooms, or students with hearing disabilities, Califone has the right amplication solution.
Array Speakers | PA Systems
Our line of classroom-proven wired and wireless audio systems delivers optimum sound reinforcement throughout the room.
Califone® array speakers are ideal for mounting on whiteboards!
Wireless LCD Transmitter
This 16-channel UHF transmitter upgrades the traditional AV cart to a high tech toolbox with cable-free access to professional
sound presentations anywhere in the school building. Teachers can use this to transmit from any audio source including
their oldest audio content on aging media. LCD-16 $155
Two line-outs on the PI30 & PI30-PS allow for daisy-chaining additional speakers
LCD-16 front & side views
The LCD-16 can be connected with any media player (including computers
and MP3 players) to transmit wireless audio to any Califone UHF speaker
including the PI30 on page 7 and the PA300+UHF on page 12.
Array Speakers
There are many applications for this technology from providing narration to an existing
presentation to ESL/ELL or other direct language instruction for a large group. The speakers are specically designed
to increase the “signal-to-noise-ratio,” which means targeting the sound to the audience instead of having it
bounce around the classroom indiscriminately. A signicant advantage to this technology is that students at the back of
the class will hear the same quality audio as those in the front. They are ideal for use with whiteboards.

Phoenix, Arizona
Dysart Unied School
District Projects Loudly
with Array Technology
Part of a rapidly growing community located
outside of Phoenix, Arizona, Dysart Unied School
District had only seven schools ve years ago
and now has 23 buildings and nearly 30,000
students. Meeting the challenges of a growing
(& diverse) student population and addressing
the instructional needs of teachers, the district
decided to install new projectors and speakers
in their schools. “We had television sets in each
classroom, but the technology was very limited,”
said Ezra Williams, the network specialist for the
district. “We wanted to provide technology that
would offer options for instructional purposes in
nearly ve hundred classrooms. And the speakers
from Califone gave us the ability to have a high-
quality sound system that would connect with the
projector system.” The Array Speakers (
allow teachers to amplify music, videos and other
online interactive programs played directly from
their laptop connected to the projector system, all
without adding new ambient noise to the classroom
— giving the students a greater opportunity
to listen and learn. In addition, DUSD chose
to provide 20 classrooms with wireless lapel
microphones during installation, and now over
100 teachers have requested a lapel mic for their
classroom. “Teachers who have hearing impaired
students in their classrooms nd the amplication
to be extremely helpful,” Williams said. In addition,
the district chose to keep some of the speakers
on mobile carts with microphones. This allows
teachers to request the portable sound system for
activities that may not be in a classroom or for
an administrative meeting. “The teachers are so
ecstatic about receiving the new audio technology
— no more checking out boomboxes or checking
into the media labs.”

Midland, Texas
Midland Independent
School District Works to
Fight Child Obesity
The annual National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention recently
found that approximately one-third of U.S.
children and teens are overweight or at risk of
becoming overweight. Administrators at the
Midland Independent School District in Midland,
Texas, were concerned that the prevalence of
childhood obesity was found to be even greater
in their district. With this concern in mind,
administrators decided to implement several
programs to encourage healthy lifestyles among
their 21,000 students. They applied for and
received the Carol M. White Physical Education
Program (PEP) grant in 2005, which advocates
that physical education improves the overall
health of children. “As a physical education
teacher, you are constantly talking loudly, or even
yelling, to provide direction to your students,”
explained Gwen Smith, the PEP Grant Coordinator
for the district. “An amplication system allows
our teachers to focus on instruction and the
activity at hand, instead of trying to constantly
catch the attention of students on the eld.”
MISD purchased a
system for each of its 24 elementary schools.
In addition, the PowerPro system allows
educators and administrators to reach large
audiences, such as during parent meetings and
student assemblies, as the main speaker can
connect wirelessly to other speakers on the same
channel. “The quality of the units is amazing,”
Smith concluded. “We are looking into purchasing
units for our secondary schools soon. Overall, we
feel that our initial goals have been met — we are
helping our students to live healthy lifestyles.”

School District
Students Hear Clearly
Five years ago, Lake Washington School District
(LWSD), located east of Seattle, was looking to
install new technologies that would better serve
its increasingly more digital-savvy student population.
LWSD was looking for a cost-effective, high-quality
speaker that would supply ample sound to the
entire classroom. Decision-makers also required
that the system be easy-to-use, durable and
exible enough for everyday classroom use. LWSD
chose the wired
speaker from Califone. “We decided to go with the
PresentationPro speaker as its quality and volume
allowed us to install just one unit per classroom,”
said Steve Lewey, Project Manager for LWSD.
“With competing products, we would need two

cost of installation and maintenance.” The
PresentationPro speaker provides LWSD educators
with high-quality audio support, while seamlessly
connecting to LCD projectors, interactive
whiteboards, multimedia players, DVD/VCRs and
computers for enhanced visual and audio learning,
offering a platform for meeting state standards.
Fifteen hundred units were installed throughout the
district, and Lewey and his team have found the
speakers to be both tough and durable. They were
able to easily mount the speakers on top of built-
in cabinetry, saving costs on ceiling-mounts and
allowing easy access for when they roll out their
much-anticipated voice amplication program.
“The speaker is not overly complex, which allows
our staff to easily connect to other products
using its multiple audio-in jacks. This gives us a
great amount of exibility. The PresentationPro
speakers have not only met, but have exceeded
our expectations,” Lewey concluded.

the majority of students do not have access to
technology at home, wanted to provide their
students with new and different challenging course
options. Due to limited resources within the
community, JVPSD decided to implement a
distance learning program. With the help of
technology and support from school leadership,
the district’s high school students can now choose
from 20 courses taught by dedicated teachers in
Pennsylvania, more than 1,800 miles away.
Students meet in the library and participate over
the Internet in classes, such as pre-algebra and
English literature. In order to meet the criteria of
hosting a distance learning program, the district
needed quality headphones. “We chose the

Manager for the district. To maximize the
learning experience, these headphones reduce
ambient noise for the students, allowing them to

Phoenix, Arizona, is the fastest growing district
in Arizona, serving nearly 25,300 elementary
students. In an effort to further help the district’s
rapidly increasing population of English language
learners (now about 3,800 students), GESD
adopted a specialized curriculum called DynEd
and needed certain technology to support the
new program. They required a headphone with
a microphone that would be sturdy enough to
handle classroom abuse, such as the Deluxe
Multimedia Stereo Headset from Califone.
“We decided to purchase the
headsets because we liked that they could
connect to the computer — just plug and play,”
said Delna Rodriguez, the ELL Intervention
Program Coordinator for the district. “The
headsets are now in our schools, the majority of
them for our ELL program and others are used
throughout the district in labs or on mobile
carts.” Students participating in the specialized
ELL curriculum illustrate their progress by listening
to an audio recording from the program’s software,
repeating the sentence into the microphone,
recording the message, and then playing it back
to assess their own work. The students are split
into small groups, which allows the teachers to
monitor them and their progress closely. “Both
the students and the educators are excited to use
the headsets and found that they work nicely with
the specialized curriculum,” Rodriguez said. In
addition, the headsets are specially designed to
reduce ambient noise, helping to prevent noise-

Your Students Can Become Podcasters!
What would you say to a new MP3 player that has all the standard features you expect
combined with several classroom specic elements and the rugged, classroom-ready construction
and hearing safety protection you expect from Califone? Protecting students from dangerous
hearing loss is important to us, so we are proud to announce the Califone model has
been designed as the rst MP3 player/recorder with its playback volume not to exceed
the 85dB recommendation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Our MP3 player comes with a built-in microphone, enabling student-created podcasting.
Podcasting meets technology standards in many states giving students a new technology
outlet to collaborate, publish, and communicate their ideas and projects. Students will have fun
creating vocal recordings that can then be used to track their language and reading progress
over time. The MP3 player is also ideal for nurturing language learning, working with below-
grade readers and listening to recorded books and music. Teachers are actively nding
additional uses for MP3 players inside and outside the classroom.
Our 8100 is particularly helpful with special-needs students and with ELL/ELD students
as it provides a personal and portable way to fast-track language acquisition or other
necessary learning. An LCD screen displays the current track status, track number, total
tracks, and track time allowing both instructors and students to stay on task. And
with an eye to stretching your technology dollars, our MP3 player connects to
two headphones at one time so that students can partner with peers or parents for
listening or recording projects. Another prominent safety feature is in its accompanying
headphone, whose ambient noise-reducing earcups reduce distracting noise, therefore
lessening the need to increase the volume. Not only does its mini USB connection
allow quick transfers of digital les to and from a computer, the MP3 player
automatically recharges the internal battery in 5 hours while it is connected
to the computer.

Advocates for Safe
Listening Practices
Hearing loss can lead to numerous problems in
school, such as difculty with academic achievement
in language arts, vocabulary, arithmetic, and
problem solving. Califone believes part of its duty
includes helping educators inform their students
on how to responsibly use audio technology.
Hearing loss can be caused by many factors, but
one that has caught the attention of safe hearing
advocates (with the recent rise in popularity of
personal MP3 players) is Noise-Induced Hearing
Loss. This condition results from listening for too
long to audio that is amplied beyond decibel
levels considered safe. Every day, students put
their hearing at risk, often listening to audio above
85 decibels, which is the level hearing experts
recommend not to be exceeded for prolonged
periods. The American Speech Language Hearing
Association (ASHA) recently found that 40
percent of students reported they set their music
players’ volume too loud. All Califone headphones
and headsets incorporate ambient noise-reducing
earcups, which block external noise more effectively
than the ear bud design, eliminating the need
to raise the volume. Califone designed its
MP3 player
decibel level — the only manufacturer to do so
— through its innovative Sentinel
The company’s goal in creating the MP3 Player is
to provide educators with an accessible technology
that enhances instruction and prepares students
for the 21st century. Students are increasingly
comfortable with the technology of personal audio
players, and Califone wants to ensure its MP3
player and headphones continue to set the education
industry standard for technical innovation and
student safety. To learn how to prevent Noise-

Northview High School
Northview High School in Covina, California,
is a school known for its leadership and interest
in pioneering new programs. With more than
51% of the school’s 1,532 students referred for
intervention, Hillary Wolfe, Northview’s learning
specialist, understood the urgency behind
developing a specialized program for students
struggling with reading. “Our literacy academy is
a great way to serve many students at the same
time,” Wolfe explained. “Though it took a lot of
extra effort to get some of the teachers and
students excited about the program at rst, we
now have more than 70 peer tutors across the
curriculum.” Students are able to come to the
library, meet with their peer tutor, check out a
recorded book, listen and read along on their
CD102
players from Califone, and review the
material. “The kids really enjoy the CD players,
especially the portable nature of the system,”
Wolfe said. “With this new program, the
library is now bustling. So many students are
coming through, we started a book club and we
are trying to set-up an inter-library exchange
with the community library to access even more
recorded books.” Like many other assisted reading
programs, informal studies have illustrated that
using technology while reading, such as recorded
books and CD players, can interest students in
new genres, improve critical listening skills and
emphasize the humor or sadness in texts. “Most
importantly, we have seen on average a 36-40%
improvement in grades for all of the intervention
program participants,” Wolfe concluded.

Infrared Classroom Cassette Recorder/Player
NCLB reading requirements reinforce what teachers do naturally with new or struggling readers and that is
to work with them one to one or in small groups. This cassette recorder/player creates cord-free listening (34B-IR)
for students and teachers to work up to 15 feet away from the listening station. Infrared audio transmission allows
the teacher to be in control of “who, what, and when” — not the technology. Or if the preference is to
use wired headphones, it’s outtted with seven built-in headphone jacks. Loud enough to carry sound to
50 people, teachers have the option to use it for whole-class instruction or in small groups anywhere in a
classroom or library. A built-in mic enables essential modeling and response activities.

The More They Can Hear... The Better They Achieve
Increase the number of students who can participate in small group audio activities
cost-effectively. Our jackboxes ensure that no listener is left behind. Effective for groups
of two or more, jackboxes enable each student to use a headphone to listen and read
along with the rest of the class. Whether the classroom technology connects to a media
player, streams audio from a computer, captures verbal responses or
podcasts, Califone® offers a variety of jackboxes to meet the
demands of growing classrooms.
USB Jackbox
This six-position, multi-modal
jackbox is the only model capable

responses to a computer. This allows

acquisition & reading progress through

acquisition programs, making it ideal for students and multiple users on a VOIP call.

Fairfax County, Virginia
Fairfax County Public
Schools Focus on
Higher Thinking Skills
One of the largest school districts in the United
States, Fairfax County Public Schools in Fairfax,
Virginia, is concentrating on developing students’
critical thinking skills. “We want our students to
reect on their own learning,” said Aron Sterling,
the district’s school-based Technology Specialist.
Looking for hardware that could help tie together
several technologies to create a learning center for
the foreign language department, administrators
decided to purchase the
from Califone. The only USB-compatible jackbox
available, the hardware is helping students and
educators to design and develop podcasts,
practice their language skills and discuss lessons
with other students. As the unit allows for 6
headphones and 6 microphones to be connected
to the same computer or music player at the
same time, the jackbox gives students a chance
to practice their oral skills, such as in ESL class-
rooms, without the lag or impediment that other
technologies may create. “We chose the jackbox
from Califone because we trust that the company’s
products are made specically for the classroom.
They are easy to store, work efciently over long
periods of time, are made in children’s sizes, and
are actually durable enough for use by students.”
Sterling said. In the foreign language lab,
educators also are using the USB Jackbox to
create video clips with voice-overs in the languages
they teach, such as Spanish and Mandarin.
“The important part is that students are not
noticing the technology. The technology works
seamlessly with the other parts of the learning
center, allowing the students to concentrate
on their lessons and not on the technology,”
Sterling concluded.

that each student must master touch-type by the
eighth grade, which inspired Alison Ostertag and
her technology committee to address an issue they
had been observing for some time: younger
computer users have hands that are often too
small for regular size keyboards.
After researching options, the committee chose
the Kidskey keyboard from Califone. “We thought
that the special coloring and coding on the
Kidskey
keyboard would be very helpful to
our kindergarten through second graders,”
Ostertag said. “And, we knew by combining
the keyboard with our other computer accessories,
we could provide our younger students with a
safe, computer-based learning center.” As
schools transition to 21st century learning
models, computer-based writing skills are essential
for students to thrive in a rapidly changing
technological world. The district purchased
keyboards for each elementary school in the
district, in addition to the preschool. “Most
importantly, the students notice the change in
how much easier it is for them to type properly.
The teachers are happy that their students will
not be practicing their ‘hunting and pecking’
skills moving forward,” Ostertag concluded.

AV Tutor
Califone introduces the AV Tutor to provide independent
instruction and review of core reading skills to beginning or
below grade readers. Students will be eager to use the AV Tutor
as it resembles already familiar control devices used in video gaming.
Educators will welcome the opportunity to implement electronic
instruction utilizing easy cartridge-based modules with kid-focused
animation which is not dependent upon a computer.
The AV Tutor is easily adaptable to use in learning centers found in
most elementary classrooms. Designed for smaller hands, it supports core
reading instruction through lessons in phonemic awareness, phonics,
vocabulary, and comprehension activities. Its built-in memory enables
students to compare and contrast their own responses to the modeled
sounds before moving on to the next lesson.
This affordable handheld is built to strict Califone standards of
strength and durability. While the AV Tutor is designed to withstand
extended use, it is likely to be in such demand that you will need to
order more than one.

Card Programs
A recent national study of reading teachers found that reading
gains can be made through strengthening phonics, basic vocabulary,
and comprehension skills. More class time is now spent on
developing reading skills than ever before as schools realize the
importance of a strong reading foundation as a predictor for future
academic success. This recognition has led to more one-to-one
instruction and small group work. The card reader’s multi-modal,
kinesthetic, visual and auditory reinforcement helps solidify mental
connections between the written and spoken word and is a useful
teaching tool for assessment and literacy training. Whether teachers
are working with new readers or bringing below average readers up
to grade level, the card sets listed below are a proven method of
instruction and review that can be self-directed or teacher-led.
Each set contains 48 full color cards with illustrations, word
identications, a teacher resource booklet and a progress chart.
