Previously we used the Bose 151 speaker or a custom built drop in ceiling speaker.
We have started including classroom amplification systems in our DLT classrooms and are installing 7 more this summer. They work great. In existing DLT rooms we replace the RadioShack amp with their 850ir unit or in new DLT rooms use their 880ir unit that has an amp built in. Model using existing RShack amp: http://www.lightspeed-tek.com/850ir.aspx Model with amp included: http://www.lightspeed-tek.com/880ir.aspx The Lightspeed-Tek multimedia speaker is brand new. We got an eval. unit and installed in an existing DLT room and it worked very well. http://www.lightspeed-tek.com/mcq.aspx All their products are on the av-coop. I think the new speaker is $244.00 delivered. ----- Tim Buenz Director of Technology Jefferson-Scranton Comm. Schools 204 W.

We also put a four gang deep box about 4 foot off the floor with two 1" conduits in the wall stubbed above the ceiling so we have room for additional cables and can add more connectors/inserts if needed. The viewsonic is discontinued. We now us this box from Impact Acoustics. http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=3103&sku=40972 RapidRun: http://www.cablestogo.com/categories.asp?cat_id=4100 ----- Tim Buenz Director of Technology Jefferson-Scranton Comm.

So I am working on the first step in mounting projectors and all the wiring . . . Do you have a box on the wall to connect everything to, and then run the cables from there to the projector. . . or would you recommend (if they even still make these) the boxes that everything would plug into and then run one cable from that spot to the projector. (were they called a video processor or something--View Sonic made if I remember correctly . . .) I want ports like the picture below . . . but will need another of the 15 pin connectors --one for the computer and one for a document camera. What is everyone using/recommending?
