To help with this problem, Califone International Inc. has released its new Array speakers that target the audience directly instead of losing valuable information in the classroom void. Oftentimes, sound generated by an educator is superseded by ambient noise in the classroom, such as the humming of an air conditioner or sounds transmitted from outside the room.

The series is comprised of three speaker models: the PI30 ($199), PI30-PS ($175), and PI-30SP ($99). All three models come with a wall-mounting bracket and the six-year Califone warranty, which includes coverage for school and library use...
