If I am teaching a class, do I have to WEAR the speaker or can I place it on the desk next to me?

If you are not moving around the classroom you can place it on the desk; however, this was designed to be worn around your waist, which makes it portable.

You can place it on the desk--but the cord for the mic has to stay plugged into the speaker so keep in mind that you will have limited room to move. If you have a podium it would most likely work perfectly.

You can place it on a desk but you won't be able to move around because of the length of the microphone wire.

It is weighted on the bottom to sit on top of your desk. If you want to stick it on the bottom you will have to use a strip of Velcro. In my opinion it is worth it, all my cables for my second screen, power, and speakers are always right next to my laptop.

Well enough I suppose. I don't use it for a class but I can hear people talking to me and around me when I'm swimming. I hope that helps.

It's a self contained unit so it doesn't need to be connected to any system. That way you can use it anywhere. There is a place to plug your iPod in so it can play through it while you are speaking. I use the iPod app on my phone but plug it into a speaker dock so I don't have to carry my phone while I teach. I have to turn it all the way up but it's good enough for my classes to hear me. Again other mics cost more have to be used with a sound system and eat up batteries. For the money I think this mic is very handy and I like it alot for what I do.

I would think either would be fine. Maybe you would like the trio since you could 'customize' your chime for different things going on in class. This is a really nice chime though we like ours and it is small and compact enough that it is easily storable in your desk. Have fun with that...might make for a nice memory for the kids in your classroom too since it is not a 'normal bell'. Nice.

It is better to put it near the computer where the signal is strongest. This ground loop isolator lowers the volume by a lot so be prepared to amplify the sound. The only ground it requires is the RCA cable's, so just plug and play really.

Yes, the speaker is actually pretty good if you use it in a car or at your desk. I'm moving next week, and I'm not going to mess with getting a radio transciever, so I'm just going to use it's speaker. Also the recording microphone is great for classes.

Instructions say to leave it on. You may use the speaker while it is charging.

I use my speaker outdoors when I work out and even though i have it on the highest setting I wish it were just a tad bit louder. I think if the classroom is small it might work.

You plug your mp3, ipod, etc. into the unit. Therefore it will depend on whether or not your lecture-playing device leaves off at the last point. This in itself cannot store and play music, it uses other devices to do so

I suppose you could but you would need to put something underneath or else the reverb off the desk would defeat the purpose I suppose

The speaker for your ear is of course right near your ear on the upper part of handset....the bigger speaker (for hands free) is on the flip side, top area. I hope this helps.

If the monitor has two tabs on the back side of the bottom of the screen, it will clip to the bottom of the monitor. The question remains if there is a power connection for the speaker. This will also be on the back underside in the same area as the other connections and the speaker will power on and off with your monitor. If you don't have this connection port, it will need a separate power supply and be manually powered up or down.

you have to attach the transmitter to the computer so why not plug it in? the speaker work great on either batteries or plug in thus they are called portable...the distance is probably 50 feet or so.

Hi, Thank you for your asking. Normally the speaker is built-in. you can adjust it. Hope that will help.

The speaker it's on the bottom facing down. It is set off the floor by it's own little rubber legs. I imagine they are engineered for optimal performance. You only have to plug it in and enjoy. The folks at the 800# with the instructions are very helpful if you have questions or want to double check yourself. I LOVE mine.

No. The speaker is actually right under the screen and facing directly forward.
