Coming in Loud and Clear
During testing, I set the speaker on a rolling computer cart in the back of my classroom, plugged it into an AC power source and then turned on my Flexmike. I secured the Flexmike around my neck with the included lanyard, which fastened together with magnets. I then pressed the mute/talk button located on the top of the Flexmike, and I could immediately hear myself loud and clear. It was really that easy.
All six periods of my middle school technology classes were delighted with my increased volume and improved clarity. To elicit more student feedback, I said a few sentences with the Flexmike muted, and then I switched back to unmuted. I did this for several minutes, and the results were always the same. Every group preferred the Flexmike unmuted.
As for battery life, the system performed much better than the promised eight hours. In fact, after my normal eight-hour workday, I stayed for another three-plus hours for an after-school program. The Flexmike was still going strong after more than 11 hours.
