TIPS AND TRICKS TO SUCCESSFUL USE
Determining optimum placement of the pods
• Pods should be placed in the approximate center of the group
• They can be placed on the center of a table or on the floor where the
students are sitting.
• The microphone is designed to pick up students in a 360 degree radius, so
it also operates best when in the middle of a group.
Managing equipment and charging
• Leave all components in the on position.
- When you place them on the charger, they will charge as normal.
- When you remove them from the charger to start the day, they will be
fully charged and ready for operation.
• Assign students to manage the charging of the group speakers.
- Have one assigned student remove it from the charger to start the day
and place it back on the charger at the end of the day.
Determining proper volume levels
• This system is not designed to make the teachers voice louder, but to
distribute it appropriately so it is heard clearly by the selected group of
students or the whole class.
• The pods are designed to be used independently, so turning the volume up
too loud can result in bleed-over to another group.
• Typical volume levels at a group speaker are about half of the maximum
setting – approximately 12:00 on the dial.
• It should be loud enough that students in the desired group hear you as
though you were speaking directly to them at a distance of 3 feet.
• The Redcat Access speaker should also be at a level that is not loud, but
clear throughout the whole room. Typically 12:00 on the Redcat Access
‘Microphone Volume’ control is appropriate.
