TCEA and Lightspeed Technologies partner to equip annual conference with audio systems

Feb. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- To give presenters at its annual conference access to the best audio technology on the market, TCEA (Texas Computer Education Association) has once again partnered with Lightspeed Technologies.

At TCEA 2015, more than 800 of the conference's 914 sessions will be equipped with Lightspeed's Redcat classroom audio systems. By wearing a small microphone around their necks, presenters' voices will be evenly projected around the room through the Redcat speaker that provides audibility with superior speech intelligibility. The Redcat exciter technology provides even sound distribution that fills the room with the presenter’s natural voice and enables attendees to hear every word no matter where they sit during the presentation.

"At TCEA, we try to model what we believe to be the best way to teach and learn, which is through interactivity. When a presenter isn't tied to standing at a lectern or holding a microphone, it allows them to interact in a deeper way with the audience," said Alexis Cline, TCEA's communications director. "Speakers want to focus on their content delivery and with the Redcat they never have to worry about the technology that will deliver their content. We know that our presenters feel confident with the easy-to-use Redcat system. The Redcat also changes the way the audience responds to a presenter’s message, and we're proud to work with Lightspeed to make our sessions as engaging as possible."

This will be the fifth year that Lightspeed Technologies and TCEA have partnered to provide presenters with audio technology. Lightspeed is once again pleased to be one of the premier equipment sponsors for the 2015 conference.

"It's an honor to partner with an organization as respected in the education industry as TCEA," said David Solomon, the executive vice president of sales and marketing for Lightspeed Technologies. "This conference is one of the most prominent industry gatherings of the year and draws attendees from Austin to Australia. We're thrilled that TCEA has chosen the Redcat for its audio solutions at the conference."

While TCEA 2015 will be held at the Austin Convention Center from Feb. 2-6, the organization also recently outfitted its own new conference center with Redcats.

"We wanted everything in the new building to be cutting-edge and had the pick of any technology we wanted to use," said Cline. "I think it speaks volumes about our experience with Lightspeed that we chose the Redcat system to ensure that we were offering only the best technology to our members. When we built our own home, we wanted Lightspeed to be a part of it."
