I teach a class where people in the back have to hear speeches clearly. Is the volume strong with this system?

Since I have no idea how large a class room you are in, I will give my thoughts on the following: 1) Small Class room of standard High school - YES. 2) Large High School classroom - Yes. 3) Auditorium - Small - Maybe 4) Large Auditorium - NO. 5) Standard to small College class room - YES. 6) Graduate tiered classroom - NO. Please note that I have not used mine in such a setting, however they are loud and clear. I can hear them all over my home which is a small 1200 foot Country A-Frame with no children but two very loud Cockatoos. Hope this helps.

Hi there, I owned two set of these speakers, they are nice and adequate for a small room. However, I found that if you need to get the children's attentions, you may have to have two sets (4 pieaces) at four corner for the sound to be adequate

I cannot answer your question not knowing the size and accoustics of your room. I can only tell you that half volume is loud in my office which is approximately 10' x 15'.

The audio is 'ok' at best. If the room is small and there is only one or two people talking it is fine. If you have a larger room or lots of speakers, I would recommend a dedicated mic. We used a Crown PZM-11 mic with excellent results.

I can respond on the sound quality part... It says in the owners manual to have the unit volume all the way up and then tune up your music source. I use it for my Zumba (R) classes and sounds great at a higher volume level. I love it!

I think one speaker will do it... we use it in our high school gym-- and it get loud... i dont know about the passive speaker... its great!

Yes. It's not too bad to where it will bother those around you but at very high volumes 85-100% they'll be able to hear your music some.

TDP, this isn't a boom box, but a Shelf type system. It's not that big but does carry enough sound.It's about 20 pounds and 22 x 21 x 16 inches total. I think it's a really nice system, so much so, my friend bought the same unit after seeing mine. I would think you could keep it in the box or place it in a tote to carry it in for your class. It really is a decent system. Take good care!

I'm a group fitness instructor and I just plug in the 1/4 inch and use the volume knob on the base and it works great. I teach step aerobics and BodyPump so my music is fairly loud and the participants have no problem hearing me.

Yes, the speaker is actually pretty good if you use it in a car or at your desk. I'm moving next week, and I'm not going to mess with getting a radio transciever, so I'm just going to use it's speaker. Also the recording microphone is great for classes.

We use it in our small library for public lectures. The sound carries to the back of the 2400 sq. ft. room. We did have a speaker that did some singing and her voice was clear.

No, I would advise getting something more like a set of Peavy PA speakers. If it is outdoors, it doesn't matter even if the group is small. You will experience a lot of ambient, distracting noise. And it would be load enough to get full clarity. I hope this helps.

How much volume can you get? Can I fill the room with sound so people in the back can hear and understand?

If by speaker fill, do you mean it produces a clean sound much louder than I can tolerate, then yes.

The sound actually carries really well. I have used with with 24 students during a very noisy activity and they all immediately stopped and turned around. If it isn't crazy loud, I'm sure this would work perfectly.

Yes, it is very loud you will like it ! ..make sure to turn on The other speakers so that you have a full volume

Honestly, it's not as "bassey" as the bose systems. It is very clear at loud volumes and the bass DOESN'T become punchy. I have it in my office and it sounds great. If I was willing to be in the $500+ range I would go with the bose, but this is a great system in this price category.

Yes. It is sensitive enoigh to pick up people talking and should work fine. The background noise it reads at is around 35. A classroom that's quiet would be around 45. 75 and they are talking too much.

Maybe, I would try using speakers first. If there was not enough volume then try going through an amp, starting with the volume turned way down first. In a small setting, like a church or high school gym, this alone should do. Loud enough is load enough, but too loud will drive your audience away. Give it a try first. Good luck.
