Abbreviated as CAT, classroom amplification technology
is an infrared audio system used in some schools today. Classroom amplification technology
creates an environment where each child in the classroom has an equal
opportunity to clearly hear the teacher's instruction. CATs are a low-volume
amplification system that improves clarity of speech and sound throughout the
classroom. The system usually consists of a configurable microphone for the
teacher, a base station receiver, and a combination of wall and ceiling
speakers. Some CAT systems are also designed for multimedia inputs within
the classroom, such as electronic whiteboards, computers, and plasma screens.
