Classroom audio is a rapidly growing segment... something I wrote about recently in my coverage of last summer's technology conferences. It makes sense, as class sizes are often getting larger and the use of multimedia increases, teachers need integrated systems that can produce the audio from DVD's, computers, microphones, MP3 players, etc. You can't have separate systems for all of these.
Wisconsin-based RoomPro is a good example, and the company announced their new RoomPro ONE system this week. The system includes an infrared mic for teacher voice amplification, ceiling mounted speakers that are also attached to a projector mount, and a wall mounted control unit for switching between sources quickly. A particularly cool feature: the pendant-style mic worn around the neck has an audio-in port, so you can hook up an iPod, for example, and play it through the system wirelessly. Nice.
