Astronaut Speaker System for Classrooms & Training Spaces

Astronaut Speaker System for Classrooms & Training Spaces

DESIGNED FOR EDUCATION The Astronaut is the first omni-directional speaker system designed for classrooms and training environments. This ensures that every student has an equal opportunity to hear even frequency balance, regardless of their seating position.

PRISTINE VOCAL CLARITY From the custom-designed transducer to the pre-equalized amplifier, the Astronaut provides exceptional vocal clarity from various sources, including computer multimedia, video streaming, curriculum software, conferencing software, and wireless microphones.

SIMPLE INSTALLATION The Astronaut can be easily mounted to a false or hard-surface ceiling using the included bracket system. It features a security mechanism to prevent unauthorized speaker removal and allows for tethering to the ceiling's support structure in earthquake-prone areas.

FOR PROJECTORS & WHITEBOARDS Integrated projector and whiteboard speakers lack sufficient vocal fidelity and acoustic frequency balance for student comprehension and learning. Connecting the Astronaut speaker to one of these devices is straightforward and no more complicated than adding external speakers to a TV.

WANT MORE BASS? Go for the Astronaut XL. Not only is it louder for big rooms, more ambient spaces, or rooms with high ceilings, it is also equipped with a larger transducer for punchier bass when high-impact multimedia is desired.

Not Just Better Audio but Correct Audio for Student Learning & Comprehension

The key technology behind the Astronaut is its omni-directional acoustic package. This allows all students to hear the same vocal presentation, regardless of where they are seated. No other speaker system design achieves this as efficiently as the Astronaut. Only one speaker is required in a standard size classroom of 900 to 1,200 sqft.

  • What is Correct Audio for Education?

    It may seem unconventional to consider a home theater system in a classroom, but we often hear the phrase, "bass is better audio." However, while a strong low-end frequency might enhance a movie experience, it can actually hinder vocal comprehension, which is our primary goal in a classroom setting.

  • Proper Acoustics for Group Listening

    To achieve proper audio, we should start with appropriate equalization that emphasizes the vocal frequency range. Additionally, effective acoustic design is crucial for minimizing distortion that occurs outside the speaker's optimal listening area. This is where the Astronaut omni-directional group-listening patent comes into play.

Simple Ceiling-Mounted Installation to False or Hard-Surface Ceilings

The Astronaut is typically installed in the middle of the room on a false ceiling. Rooms with ceilings higher than 10' should consider the Astronaut XL for its louder 60W amplifier. The included bracket system is very easy to install and can be done with everyday basic tools. Our customers choose to install the system themselves or contract with local installers. No A/V experience is required.
