Case Study: PI30

Phoenix, Arizona

Dysart Unified School District Projects Loudly with Array Technology

Part of a rapidly growing community located outside of Phoenix, Arizona, Dysart Unified School District had only seven schools five years ago and now has 23 buildings and nearly 30,000 students. Meeting the challenges of a growing (& diverse) student population and addressing the instructional needs of teachers, the district decided to install new projectors and speakers in their schools. “We had television sets in each classroom, but the technology was very limited,” said Ezra Williams, the network specialist for the district. “We wanted to provide technology that would offer options for instructional purposes in nearly five hundred classrooms. And the speakers from Califone gave us the ability to have a high- quality sound system that would connect with the projector system.” The Array Speakers (PI30) allow teachers to amplify music, videos and other online interactive programs played directly from their laptop connected to the projector system, all without adding new ambient noise to the classroom

—giving the students a greater opportunity to listen and learn. In addition, DUSD chose to provide 20 classrooms with wireless lapel microphones during installation, and now over 100 teachers have requested a lapel mic for their classroom. “Teachers who have hearing impaired students in their classrooms find the amplification to be extremely helpful,” Williams said. In addition, the district chose to keep some of the speakers on mobile carts with microphones. This allows teachers to request the portable sound system for activities that may not be in a classroom or for an administrative meeting. “The teachers are so ecstatic about receiving the new audio technology

—no more checking out boomboxes or checking into the media labs.”
