Can they be used in a classroom setting for interpreters or will the close proximity cause static or interference?

These radio must be at least 5' apart or you will get feedback between them.

An amateur radio license is required to transmit with these radios. FRS radios would be better choice for your needs.

It has a pretty good range. About 6ft away. Static does come into play at times. It's not compatible with my newer Karaoke machine. I will have to try it with my older model.

I have these speakers couple inches away from my computer monitor and everything is fine. The only problem I've had is putting my phone too close to the speakers which sometimes causes static. Nothing out of the ordinary.

The good and bad is that background noise is filtered out, but if a person is speaking from 8-10 feet it doesn't pick up well - I would say 4-5 feet away is the best distance. We have a polycom also for outside line calls and I would say it is a similar response. If the conf room is quite where background noise doesn't exist, it may do better.

They are very clear but probably not practical for workstations. Other alternatives out there. Look at some Bluetooth speakers. That's what I use and very happy with.

I used it for an online interpreter session where I had to record my verbal interpretations. I only used it for one class....but the instructor said the quality was good for the purposes of the class.

Depends how loud the classroom is I guess. I think they would suffice, but I only have them in a 15x15' room so they are plenty for this room. I'm sure your classroom is bigger than that. For the price, I am happy with them. That being said, they are very inexpensive. Amazon is pretty good with returns though aren't they? Might be worth a try. Hope that wishy-washy answer helped :) -Signed, Switzerland

We have always had the base on the shelf next to the tv. When I tested the base in back of the tv, I got a lot of static. The only time the static stopped was when I was about 2 feet in front of the tv. Don't let this stop you from buying the ears. We have two pairs now and don't know how we ever lived without them.

They work great however we used at a resort with little interference. You may want to invest in a unit with a higher range to be able to communicate through the steel in the ship.

Only if placed near metal objects; otherwise, no static. Top volume level could be louder.

For me they did not work at all, there was always interference. I tried to use it inside a convenience store maybe the interference of other devices had to do with the poor sound quality of the intercom.

Well you shouldn't have your headphones blasting if you're in class anyway lol. But! If you have them at a low or medium level no one would be able to hear them.

I wouldn't recommend using in the lecture environment because you will have to have one of your hand holding the mic close to your lips(less than 10cm). I would rather recommend looking up a wired(lengthy) tie-pin mic type.

It will certainly help. With music playing through them I would surmise that you will not be able to hear them at all. I should say though that the are a bit heavy and bulky for an office environment.

I installed 2 of them in my classroom. I prefer them on low since they are close to my desk. I depend on listening to help me monitor my students and class room behavior. However, if I had put them on the other side of the room or had not put them so close together, I would use a higher RPM.

I don't think it would be a problem, but the sound would definitely conflict if you were trying to play two different types of music that close together. I have different zones in different rooms and they work perfectly. Not sure what you are trying to accomplish but these are great speakers. If possible I would suggest having a volume controls in the room you are putting them in.

We just set them to the same channel out of the box and they worked fine. We used them on a cruise (Holland America ms Noordam) and one of us would be in our cabin (8th deck, forward starboard, near elevators) and the other on Deck 1 at the excursion desk, and they worked fine - no interference. So, with all that metal between us, and no interference, I think they would work fine between two cars, especially in relative close proximity.
