Extron Electronics recently introduced its new VLH 102 Handheld Microphone, an infrared wireless mic with a cardioid capsule and polycarbonate enclosure for use with Extron VoiceLift classroom sound field systems.
VoiceLift Microphone Systems create a sound field within the classroom so that students can hear the instructor over ambient noise levels, according to the company. Designed to students to use, the lightweight VLH 102 microphone has an anti-roll collar to keep the microphone from rolling off flat surfaces and helps prevent the IR emitters from being blocked during use.
The VLH 102 is ideal for use in applications that require a pass-around microphone for student presentations and secondary microphone applications such as team teaching and guest speakers, Extron said.
“This new handheld microphone extends the functionality of the VoiceLift System and encourages student participation in the classroom,” says Casey Hall, vice president of sales and marketing for Extron, in a statement. “The VLH 102 can be added to existing systems or be purchased as part of a dual-mic system.”
The VLH 102 includes an on/off/mute switch to silence the mic for private conversations or when not in use, and an auxiliary input jack to allow playback from audio devices like MP3 players through the system.
The mic also includes a single, AA-sized, long life 2500 mAh NiMH battery that provides eight hours of talk time, according to Extron. The battery can be recharged in the microphone itself using an external charger or the VLC 202 Desktop Charging Station.
