To help you sift through the options, here are some details about the different types of microphones available for teachers in today\u2019s blog from <a href=\"https:\/\/americansound.cc\/who-we-are\/\">American Sound<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/americansound.cc\/2021\/02\/18\/three-main-considerations-for-choosing-a-classroom-sound-reinforcement-system\/\">Three Main Considerations for Choosing a Classroom Sound Reinforcement System<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Wearable microphones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wearable, hands-free presenter mics are ideal for live or pre-recorded lectures. They feature clip-on mics so instructors can have their hands free while teaching and also move around the classroom easily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, there are two types of wearable mics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Battery-operated wearable mics. <\/strong>These types of microphones require teachers to carry a battery pack while they navigate around the classroom. They also have to recharge the batteries every so often.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cordless battery-free wearable mics.<\/strong> If instructors prefer a wire-free and battery-free option, many wearable mics can deliver on those promises. These types of wearable mics usually include a USB base station and charger that has a built-in receiver. They typically provide a range of 65 feet or more, ensuring clear communication as the instructor moves around the classroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Speakerphone microphones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speakerphone mics are another great option for instructors who are teaching primarily online. A portable speakerphone is ideal for interactive hybrid classrooms and can help ensure a collaborative experience. Some speakerphones also utilize a special sound technology that eliminates background noise outside a specific range. This is a great solution to ensure that students can hear the instructor\u2019s voice over any other distracting classroom sounds like papers rustling or side conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Wireless portable microphones for students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wireless portable microphones improve remote learning by encouraging student discussion and interaction in hybrid classrooms. Instead of struggling through the clunky logistics of muting and unmuting speakers via your video conferencing platform, classroom participants can pass around a wireless portable microphone to easily discuss topics and contribute to the conversation. Many of these portable microphones easily integrate with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and other video teaching platforms for a smooth and superior hybrid teaching experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Plug-and-play microphones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different brands and types of plug-and-play microphones available, but essentially, they just plug directly into your laptop via USB and instantly provide clear and accurate audio recordings (with no additional driver installation). Many of these microphones also come with an adjustable desktop stand so instructors can position the microphone as needed. Compatibility varies depending on the brand, but many plug-and-play mics are compatible with Mac OS, Windows, tablets, and other mobile devices, which make them very practical for travel and use in the classroom or at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/americansound.cc\/2020\/12\/21\/how-an-investment-in-classroom-sound-reinforcement-pays-off-in-the-long-run\/\">How an Investment in Classroom Sound Reinforcement Pays Off in the Long Run<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need Equipment Installation for Hybrid Classrooms?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/americansound.cc\/contact-us\/\">Contact American Sound<\/a> for help.
