Product Spotlight: Hands-Free Classroom Intercom
As school administrators know, a lot of work goes into making a school run smoothly. Hundreds, even thousands, of students arrive at 7 a.m. and assemble into different classrooms. Directed by bells, students go from class to class. Every day, school staff manage late arrivals, early pick-ups, and unplanned excitement. For this and many other reasons, front office personnel need to communicate with specific teachers.
Audio Enhancement’s EPIC (Education Paging and Intercom Communications) System™ makes schoolwide communication easy and effective. It integrates with existing Voice over IP (VoIP) phone systems to connect the office to classrooms. EPIC System includes an intuitive touchscreen interface that makes it easy for the front office to communicate with any location on campus. Audio Enhancement’s amplifiers with full-duplex audio create a hands-free intercom response system for teachers.
When office personnel need to talk to a teacher, they simply select any classroom on the network to initiate an intercom call. Then, ambient microphones pick up teachers’ responses so teachers can easily communicate while continuing to move throughout their classroom. As a result, when a message from the front office comes through, teachers can respond easily and quickly.
Hands-free Intercom was created with the educator in mind. Effective communication facilitates more effective classrooms, and that is Audio Enhancement’s goal.
