The Dukane projectors have pretty good speakers on them. Probably the loudest we have heard on the coop projector shoot-out. From: Karl Hehr Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 8:59 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: Re: [info-tech] Projectors We have NEC VT 700 and Epson PowerLIte 84

We have NEC VT 700 and Epson PowerLIte 84. Almost all classes use the built in speakers, but a few have requested external, but I just put external computer speakers up there if the need. Karl H. Hehr Technology/Curriculum Director South Hamilton CSD www.s-hamilton.k12.ia.us 515.827.5418 (W)

We use 2 models. An NEC VT695 (No longer in production) and the Epson 84+. Like them both, no issues with either so far. (probably just jinxed myself). I do not think the speaker is loud enough and am looking for a better solution. Jeremy in FD and Mark in WC have a good solution that I

We have always put a pair of 3-piece Cyber Acoustic speakers in the rooms. We started using ceiling mount speakers with an external amplifier, but cost kept us from continue down that path. Jeremy From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us

We found the built in speakers to be less then fulfilling. We equip all our smart classrooms with a Bose 151 (for those wanting more bass try the Bose 251) speaker and a 40 watt radio shack amp. Mark Mark J. Murphy Director of Technology Webster City Community Schools 825 Beach St. Webster

We've got kind of a mess of projectors here, because we've tended to buy whatever's cheapest at the moment. My favorite of the ones we have is the InFocus IN2104EP. And we generally use multimedia speakers either plugged into the projector's sound out port, or just connected to the laptop

Hi, We have used NEC projectors for the last several yrs. with very good results. Current model we are ordering is the NP-510. We have done a lot of classrooms with amps and a ceiling speaker in the last 5 yrs. We have recently done quite a few with Lightspeed classroom amplification (850ir)

We have purchased mostly Epsons as of late (and haven't had problems). The key I have found is to standardize (district, ideally, but especially building wide). That has helped a lot! Also . . . I have learned to be VERY aware of all the input and output plugs (for all the other

I always recommend purchasing from the AV Coop. Twice a year we Shoot-Out over 50 projectors so each projector has been looked at before it is put on the Coop catalog. IMHO: Currently DLP projectors have a significant lifetime savings vs LCD projectors as DLP has no filters to clean. LCD

We believe in the projector idea. We have people that use that same argument as well, until you permanently mount them in the classroom and they are always connected to the computer. Once we have done that, the teacher's do not have to worry about connecting them or the setup. They just turn
