11. SETTING SYSTEM VOLUME LEVELS
To allow for maximum flexibility, the Flexmike, Pods and classroom audio system all have
independent volume controls. To set the proper volume for your classroom, place the
microphone around your neck and take the following steps:
Flexmike Volume (classroom speaker and Pods)
To adjust, use the up/down buttons on the Flexmike.
1. Select an individual Pod and begin speaking in a normal voice.
2. The volume should be at a level that the kids seated around the Pod can clearly hear,
but not so loud that other nearby groups could hear.
3. Press the class button to turn on the classroom speaker and speak in a normal voice.
4. The volume should be at a level that the kids can clearly hear from the other side of
the room. You should just barely be able to hear your
own voice.
NOTE: at proper volume levels, there should not be
any "feedback" or squealing from the speaker outside
of 2-3 feet. If there is, turn the Flexmike volume down
slightly.
Pod Speaker Volume
1. The speaker volume of each individual Pod can be
adjusted using the up/down buttons on the Pod.
2. The default volume setting is at the center point or "0".
The Pods can be adjusted 5 "steps" up or down to a
maximum of 5 and a minimum of -5.
3. Press the up/down buttons to adjust the speaker volume
level as desired.
Pod to Class Volume
1. Enable "Pod to Class" sharing mode by swiping Pod #1 to
the class icon on the mobile app.
2. With the teacher's Flexmike muted, hold Pod #1 and
begin speaking, keeping it 3-4" from your mouth.
3. The volume should be at a level to just hear your own
voice, but loud enough to enable kids on the other side
of the room to clearly hear you (it is helpful to have
another person in the room to verify).
4. Press the volume tab and adjust the Pod to class volume
on the app to optimize the level.
NOTE: Check the Pod sharing volume level at the Pod
nearest the classroom speaker to verify there is no
"feedback" or squealing. If there is, turn down the volume
slightly.
