IR transmission
The IR transmitter transmits directly to the sensor. However; due to the strength of the IR transmitter, the infrared signal will bounce off the walls, ceiling and floor for reception thus providing continuous connectivity throughout the room. Benefit: total freedom of movement within the room with no restriction of orientation.
“What’s said in the room, stays in the room”
Infrared will not penetrate a solid surface thus preventing any transmission going out of the room.
a brief word about infrared
Infrared is a light ray that is below the visible spectrum, just like the sound spectrum extends beyond your hearing ability. An example of infrared transmission is the remote control for your TV set. When a button is pressed, a beam of infrared light is emitted by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) from the remote control. It is detected by a receiving diode in your TV set. When you press a certain command on your control, the internal electronics cause the infrared light to flicker in a programmed sequential pattern (called modulating the light beam). The modulated infrared beam is detected by a receiving diode and is electronically decoded. The decoded signal activates the circuitry to perform the command function on your TV set.
So how does this apply to the infrared communication system you are about to start using? The microphone/transmitter has several Light Emitting Diodes (LED) that emit infrared light beams to the sensor located in the ceiling of the room. Now when you talk into the microphone, the microphone element modulates the light beam, causing it to flicker in sync with your speech. The sensor detects the sequential signal and the electronic circuitry in the VoiceLink PLUS converts that sequential signal into a line level analog audio signal. Now that audio signal can be fed into an amplifier. The amplifier magnifies the electronic signal and sends it output to the speakers. This causes the speaker cone to move in sync with your voice. The speaker replicates your voice and disperses your voice evenly throughout the room.

product description
The VoiceLink PLUS is a complete classroom sound system. It includes an infrared wireless microphone/ transmitter receiver and a 20 watt power amplifier. A ceiling sensor senses the infrared signal emitted from the microphone/transmitter and sends the voice signal to the receiver. The receiver can also accept an input from another audio source such as an iPod™, Computer, DVD, or video projector. The receiver passes the composite signal to the power amplifier which drives the two speakers. In addition, a drop-in charger is included to recharge the transmitter battery for daily use.
Reliable Performance. Use with confidence.
